PT Bank Central Asia Tbk : Promoting Food Security, BCA Provides Syndicated Loan of IDR 1 Trillion for the Pusri Fertilizer Plant Construction Project

Jakarta, 13 October 2023 - PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) is demonstrating its commitment to support and preserve national food security by contributing to the acceleration of the construction project of PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang (Pusri). This commitment has been realized through BCA's financial support of Rp1 trillion, following the signing of a syndicated loan agreement with Pusri in Jakarta on Friday (13/10).

The signing of the syndicated loan agreement represents BCA's commitment to providing financial support for the construction of Pusri's new fertilizer plant, known as Pusri III-B. This project aims to revitalize the company by replacing the aging Pusri III and Pusri IV fertilizer plants, which are approximately 40 years old. The goal is to enhance the company's production efficiency.

BCA Director Rudy Susanto stated, "The construction of the Pusri III-B plant represents a strategic step taken by Pusri to enhance its efficiency and competitiveness. Furthermore, this project is a significant part of Pusri's dedication to safeguarding national food security. The partnership, established through a syndicated loan, underscores BCA's commitment to actively participating in the advancement of the national economy and industry. It also serves as evidence of BCA's contribution to the pursuit of food security in Indonesia."

The syndicated loan agreement includes BCA and seven other banking institutions as participants. The signing ceremony was attended by Deputy Minister I of SOEs Kartika Wirjoatmodjo, President Director of Pupuk Indonesia Rahmad Pribadi, and President Director of Pusri Tri Wahyudi Saleh. BCA, out of the total maximum limit of Rp9.317 trillion, contributed a syndicated loan of Rp1 trillion to support this strategic project.

This project is expected to result in an increase in fertilizer production in Indonesia, which will positively contribute to improving agricultural yields. Furthermore, the energy-efficient operation of the Pusri III-B plant aligns with BCA's dedication to promoting Sustainable Finance and supports the Indonesian government's efforts in transitioning toward a green economy.

"The Pusri plant construction project is expected to contribute significantly to meeting the nation's fertilizer needs and support the growth of the agricultural sector. BCA remains committed to supporting essential economic sectors that play a vital role in ensuring food security," Rudy concluded.
