Soft Loan

A loan made at no interest or at a below market interest rate. Soft loans usually refer to loans made to developing countries and others in need of financing, but without the ability to borrow at the market rate. Soft loans may also have a longer grace period or a different amortization schedule that makes repayment easier. This is also called soft financing.
