Greek term or phrase: sthmena daneia

Is "sthmena" definitely a pejorative word here, or does it depend on the context?

The phrase is "Plhrofories gia sthmena daneia se epicheirhseis" - no further context, but it's probably about a bank which is not being transparent enough in its operations.

If you saw the phrase "sthmena daneia" in isolation, would you automatically take it to mean that the loans are fixed or pre-arranged in an unfair way - or are there other possible meanings?
