Standard Chartered Indonesia Boosts Corporate Financing and Debt Markets

Standard Chartered Indonesia is bolstering its corporate financing and debt capital markets operations by participating in key strategic transactions within the country. The bank's involvement includes facilitating financing for Danantara and playing a role in the Indonesian government's international bond issuances.

In the Danantara financing, Standard Chartered acted as a joint coordinator, joint senior underwriter, mandated lead arranger, and bookrunner for a revolving credit facility valued up to $10 billion, available in multiple currencies. Furthermore, the bank served as joint lead manager, bookrunner, and rating advisor for PT Danantara Investment Management's inaugural dual-tranche bond issuance of $1.5 billion, maturing in June 2026.

With a deep understanding of the Indonesian market and Standard Chartered's international capabilities, we will continue to provide relevant solutions for customer needs in Indonesia.

In the debt capital markets, Standard Chartered has been a consistent partner to the Indonesian government since 2009, assisting in international bond issuances that have collectively raised over $55 billion. For 2025, the bank is set to be a Joint Lead Manager for several government international bond issuances, encompassing U.S. dollar bonds, global sukuk, CNH Dim Sum bonds, and Australian dollar-denominated Kangaroo bonds. Beyond financing, the bank is enhancing its transaction banking services and providing access to international capital markets to meet client funding needs.

Donny Donosepoetro, CEO of Standard Chartered Indonesia, highlighted that these roles are supported by the bank's deep understanding of the domestic market and its extensive international network. These achievements led to Standard Chartered Indonesia receiving Euromoney awards for Best Bank for Large Corporates and Best Investment Bank for Debt Capital Markets. Donny stated that these recognitions reflect Standard Chartered's crucial role in supporting the funding, transaction banking, and capital market access needs of the government, public sector, financial institutions, and large corporations in Indonesia. Amit Verma, Head of Coverage, Corporate & Investment Banking at Standard Chartered Indonesia, added that complex, large-scale financing requirements necessitate access to diverse funding sources, including international capital markets. He emphasized that customer trust in Standard Chartered's ability to support critical and complex financing needs is reflected in the Euromoney awards, and the bank will continue to assist Indonesian entities in their growth, competitiveness, and access to broader opportunities.
