IFC in Indonesia
IFC in Indonesia provides financing and advice to small and medium businesses and larger players in sectors ranging from power generation to transport and banking. We help private sector companies reach their full potential while benefitting Indonesia as a whole and the communities in which they operate.
We offer integrated products, including the full array of financial tools from straight loans and equity to trade finance. We combine global industry expertise with local presence. And we assist in maximizing projects’ social benefits and minimizing their environmental footprint.
Building Infrastructure
IFC helps to meet the urgent need to upgrade Indonesia’s infrastructure by investing in projects such as transportation, power plants, and ports. These projects yield profits for investors and create jobs, while improving public infrastructure and community welfare.
We advise companies and the Indonesian government on structuring and executing infrastructure projects with public and private participation, increasing efficiencies for businesses and ensuring sustainable urbanization.
Making Financing Available
IFC invests in commercial banks that provide loans to micro, small, and medium enterprises, which generate 60 percent of GDP and provide 70 percent of all jobs in Indonesia. IFC also advises banks on how to diversify their products for low-income households, greatly extending the reach of secure and reliable banking services to rural areas.
Promoting Low-Carbon Business
IFC is looking to invest in clean energy projects, such as geothermal and hydro, and we are working with commercial banks on business opportunities in energy-efficiency finance.
We have launched a sustainable forestry program, assisting companies investing in industrial plantations on degraded lands and supporting 10 million of the poorest Indonesians whose livelihoods depend on forests.
And IFC helps provincial governments develop green building codes that will help increase buildings’ energy and water efficiency.
Agribusiness: Improving Sustainability
IFC helps firms adopt sustainable practices by incorporating farmers into their supply chains.Together with private sector companies, IFC trains farmers in implementing agricultural best practices and adopt international standards – helping firms receive the quality products they need while boosting the agribusiness sector that employs more than 40 percent of Indonesia’s workforce and provides income to two-thirds of the country’s poor.
Improving the Business Climate
IFC assists Indonesia’s national and local governments in improving business regulations and investment policies – such as cutting the time and cost of business registration and licensing processes. We aim to increase private sector investment in sustainable agribusiness by removing sector-specific impediments to business growth, such as those in the cocoa industry.
