In recent years, against the background of robust economic growth in Indonesia, Japanese companies have been accelerating business expansion, with mid-tier enterprises and SMEs showing growing intention to invest in the country. Accordingly, there are increasing interest and needs for utilizing financing leases, as Japanese mid-tier enterprises and SMEs make capital investments. These loans under the credit line will provide long-term foreign currency funds flexibly for finance leasing required by business operations of mid-tier enterprises and SMEs conducted in Indonesia and other countries, and thus support the overseas business deployment of Japanese mid-tier enterprises and SMEs. Thereby, they will contribute to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries.

As Japan's policy-based financial institution, JBIC will continue to support overseas business deployment of Japanese companies, including mid-tier enterprises and SMEs, with a view to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries, by drawing on its various financial facilities and schemes for structuring projects, and performing its risk-assuming function.
