PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero) ("PT SMI" or "the Company") and the Lembaga Pembiayaan Ekspor Indonesia/LPEI  have entered into a strategic collaboration regarding the issuance of bank guarantees.

Anwar, the Executive Directors of Business Development and Institutional Relations of LPEI. The signing ceremony took place at the PT SMI office, Sudirman Sahid Center Building, Jakarta, on Wednesday, August 2, 2023.

In the field of financing and investment, PT SMI provides various products and services to support the acceleration of infrastructure development, including non-cash financing facilities through collaboration with non-cash financing institutions. Non-cash financing facilities are provided to customers/debtors to accommodate the non-cash infrastructure project financing needs.

This signing is a concrete manifestation of LPEI's support for Indonesian businesses provided through PT SMI in the form of guarantees with a counter-guarantee scheme to support Indonesian businesses in implementing infrastructure projects that support export activities.
