The United States authorized a 500 million dollar emergency loan to Britain to ease a financial crisis after the Suez Canal shutdown. The loan, via the Export-Import Bank, adds to Britain’s funds raised in weeks of turmoil, aiming to stabilize sterling and offset essential import costs. Repayment begins after a 12 month draw period with semiannual installments over four and a half years at 4.5 percent interest. The move follows Britain’s December request to cancel 104 million dollars of annual interest, which the Eisenhower administration sought to secure from Congress.
