The proceeds from the sale of 30% of stereobates in population clusters and lines shall constitute the source of capital for repaying to the Development Assistance Fund amounts which the provinces have borrowed for building essential infrastructures.
- Where the amounts borrowed from the Development Assistance Fund are bigger than the proceeds from the sale of 30% of stereobates, the local budgets shall pay the difference to the Development Assistance Fund.
