The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC; Governor, CEO: Hiroshi Watanabe) signed today three loan agreements amounting up to approximately USD2,596 thousand (JBIC portion) with PT. SMFL Leasing Indonesia (SMFLIN), an Indonesian subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing Company, Limited. These agreements are based on a credit line*1 for supporting the overseas business deployment of Japanese mid-tier enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), previously signed with SMFLIN. All of these loans are cofinanced with private financial institutions.

The three loan agreements will secure funding from SMFLIN in lease financing for the facilities required by the following business operations:
- Specialty paper production and sales business of PT. E-Pack Indonesia, an Indonesian subsidiary of E-Pack Corporation (Headquarters: Osaka)
- Disposable diaper film production and sales business of PT. Yamatogawa Indonesia, an Indonesian subsidiary of YAMATOGAWA SHIKO CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Osaka)
- Automotive plastic parts manufacturing and sales business of PT. Taiyo Katecs Indonesia, an Indonesian subsidiary of TAIYO SANGYO CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Aichi prefecture)
- Specialty paper production and sales business of PT. E-Pack Indonesia, an Indonesian subsidiary of E-Pack Corporation (Headquarters: Osaka)
-
In recent years, against the background of robust economic growth in Indonesia, Japanese companies have been accelerating their business expansion, with mid-tier enterprises and SMEs also showing a growing interest in investing in the country. Accordingly, demand and interest for finance leases for capital investment by Japanese mid-tier enterprises and SMEs are growing. Loans under the credit line will flexibly provide long-term foreign currency funds for finance leases required for the business operations of such mid-tier enterprises and SMEs, and thus support the overseas business deployment of Japanese mid-tier enterprises and SMEs, thereby contributing to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries.
-
As Japan's policy-based financial institution, JBIC will continue to support the overseas business deployment of Japanese mid-tier enterprises and SMEs, with a view to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries.
