Financial close for Umbulan water PPP in Indonesia

PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk., through its subsidiary PT Medco Gas Indonesia (MedcoEnergi), and PT Bangun Cipta Kontraktor have announced they have appointed PT Indonesia Infrastructure Finance (IIF) as the mandated lead arranger for the syndicated financing of the Umbulan Water Supply System (WSS) Project.

The Umbulan WSS Project will be commissioned in mid-2019 and is a National Strategic Project to provide drinking water for 1.3 million people via a 4,000 liters per second, 93 km transmission pipeline from Umbulan springs to five Regional Water Companies in the Province of East Java.

The project requires an investment of around IDR2.1 trillion (US$155.2 million) through the Government and Enterprises Cooperation Scheme and is the 4th such project to be financed in Indonesia. PT Meta Adhya Tirta Umbulan, the project owner, will receive funding through a central government Viability Gap Fund which has also obtained a guarantee from PT Penjaminan Infrastruktur Indonesia. IIF and PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur have also signed the syndicated financing for the Umbulan WSS project in December 2016.

Hilmi Panigoro, President Director of MedcoEnergi, said:

 “With the support from the Government of RI, we continue to realize our commitment to develop and improve the utilisation of resources including water resources for the greater community and the economic growth in Indonesia.”

    IFC commits up to $200 million to IFC Emerging Asia Fund with investors from Fiji and Korea

    IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, has committed up to US$200 million to the IFC Emerging Asia Fund (EAF), which has reached a first close. IFC is joined by the Korea Development Bank (KDB) and the Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF). Central to the EAF is mobilizing additional capital in emerging markets of the Asia region, given the scale of investment, innovation, technological development and employment creation required for sustainable development in many low and middle income countries in the region falls beyond the range of the public sector, making the private sector central to finding and financing the development solutions that are needed.   Investments by the EAF will be aligned to IFC’s strategy for the region, which includes a focus on addressing the infrastructure deficit, and at the same time it will also help investee companies raise standards, improve risk mitigation and generate value.   The new global architecture for international development, the Sustainable Development Goals, launched at the United Nations in 2015, highlights that financing sustainable development requires low and middle income countries tap new sources of capital from both private and public sources, including leveraging global private capital to most skillful effect. Two thirds of the world’s poorest people live in emerging Asia and yet it is the engine room of global growth being the fastest growing region and the largest continental economy by GDP in the world. This growth is a function of favorable dynamics such as the continued need for enhanced infrastructure, the emergence of a rapidly growing middle class and commitments by many governments in the region to political and economic reform.  Combined, these dynamics have created significant opportunities for investment in the region including China, India, Indonesia, Philippines and Asian frontier markets such as Vietnam and Myanmar.  Read more
