Indonesia Eximbank Strengthens Regional Integration and Exports at AEBF 2025

Jakarta, 28 November 2025 – Indonesia Eximbank, also known as Lembaga Pembiayaan Ekspor Indonesia (LPEI), reinforced its commitment to advancing regional trade integration through active participation in the 30th Annual Meeting of the Asian Exim Bank Forum (AEBF) held from 17–20 November 2025 in Kerala, India. The event convened leaders of Exim Banks from across Asia to foster collaboration, share best practices, and accelerate intra-regional trade.

At the forum, Indonesia Eximbank formalized several strategic partnerships, including:

• A Joint Statement with UK Export Finance (UKEF), under which UKEF will provide technical support for Indonesia’s accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), focusing on three Export Credit Group (ECG) instruments: anti-bribery, environmental, social and governance (ESG), and sustainable financing for Indonesian projects overseas.
• A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Export Finance Australia (EFA), outlining collaboration on co-financing, funding support, and technical expertise related to credit schemes, guarantees, and insurance, thereby strengthening Indonesia Eximbank’s capacity to meet OECD standards.
• An Offer Letter from the Export-Import Bank of India, providing capacity-building assistance to study international best practices in SME financing.

The forum also facilitated bilateral meetings that generated concrete collaboration opportunities, including:

• African Export–Import Bank (Afreximbank): Identification of several joint projects in Africa involving Indonesian companies, particularly in infrastructure, manufacturing, and services. Collaboration will focus on co-financing and guarantees to support Indonesian companies’ expansion in Africa.
• Export Development Canada (EDC): With around 300 Canadian foreign-invested firms operating in Indonesia, both parties agreed to identify export-oriented companies suitable for collaborative financing and guarantee schemes.
• Export-Import Bank of Malaysia: Several joint project initiatives were discussed to further strengthen the Indonesia–Malaysia regional supply chain.

Sukatmo Padmosukarso, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Acting Executive Director of Indonesia Eximbank, underscored the importance of regional collaboration in supporting national exports. “More than 70 percent of Indonesia’s trade takes place within Asia. Indonesia Eximbank is dedicated to ensuring that exporters take full advantage of this integration. In the context of OECD accession, our focus is on adopting global best practices from Exim Banks and Export Credit Agencies to close market gaps while maintaining prudent risk management,” he stated.

The 2025 AEBF Annual Meeting adopted the theme “Samriddhi Sutra (Guide to Prosperity): Empowering Connections through a Shared Vision for Regional Prosperity,” encouraging members to strengthen synergies and pursue future collaboration for collective prosperity across Asia.

With exports valued at USD 266.5 billion in 2024 and a presence in over 180 countries, Indonesia continues to consolidate its role in the regional value chain. Through its Financing, Guarantee, Insurance, and Advisory Services, Indonesia Eximbank remains committed to supporting inclusive growth and the resilience of regional supply chains.

Indonesia Eximbank stands ready to expand partnerships, strengthen co-financing, and promote the development of new projects across Asia and Africa through sustainable collaborations with Exim Banks and Export Credit Agencies.
