English translation:incentive credits
Explanation:
Dietl/Lorenz lists both developmental and incentive. The former is
probably the more sjitable one in this case, but I thought I'd throw 'incentive' in just for good measure. Thanks for listening.

Grading comment
In this context, incentive credit seems best, since it is the private sector that gets the loan. Also, I checked with google and found "promotion credits".

Explanation:
Actually, I like David's suggestion, but I found this and thought I'd share it. Unfortunately, I only found a couple of references, so it is probably not all that common (see http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls... AND http://www.google.com/search?hl=de&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-29,GGL... ).
