The project is co-owned by Chinese asset management and financing platform Huadian Overseas Investment and Indonesian coal mining company Bukit Asam.
Indonesia’s Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Erick Thohir, who attended a signing ceremony on Monday together with Bank Mandiri president-director Darmawan Junaidi, hailed the financing as a means to foster positive competition and strengthen the supply chain within the country’s industrial sector.
