Both the Taiwanese Government and private Taiwanese sources are supplying funding streams to Guatemala for transport infrastructure development. The Taiwanese Government is donating US$50 million to help improve the section of the Atlantico road connecting Sanarate and El Rancho. Taiwan is also providing a further $50 million in the shape of a loan for the project. This loan will be repayable over a 20 year period. The Atlantico road upgrade project will cost some $119 million in all, with work on the third phase due to commence at the end of 2013. In addition, Taiwanese private funding looks set to provide backing for a series of infrastructure projects in Guatemala, with the development on an inter-oceanic corridor planned. One of the key projects is for a highway linking the Atlantic And Pacific Oceans, as well as the building of a railway and a pipeline along the same route. This project is expected to cost in the region of $7-9 billion in all.
