The Hong Kong Housing Society, a major public housing provider of the city, has signed a HK$12 billion ($1.5 billion) syndicated loan with 12 local and international banks, the non-governmental organization said in a statement Thursday.

The largest deal of its kind for the organization, the five-year term and revolving loan facilities include a HK$3 billion social tranche, HKHS said. The loan’s overall pricing is 86 basis points over the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate, a local lending benchmark.
