In October 2025, Lembaga Pembiayaan Ekspor Indonesia (LPEI) signed a bilateral loan agreement of USD 250 million with Bank ICBC Indonesia, comprised of a USD 100 million revolving credit facility and a USD 150 million three-year term loan. This partnership is part of a decade-long relationship (dating back to 2015) between LPEI and ICBC Indonesia, and is aimed at strengthening Indonesia’s export financing capacity amid evolving global trade dynamics. Through this arrangement, LPEI leverages ICBC Indonesia’s role as a financial bridge with China and other strategic markets, while ICBC brings in funding, trade-finance expertise and digital banking services to support Indonesian exporters.
The collaboration reflects a broader push to build a more resilient and competitive export ecosystem in Indonesia. By securing financing tailored for export-oriented business actors, LPEI is enhancing its mandate as a government special-mission vehicle to provide financing, guarantees, insurance and consulting services. The deal also underscores the importance of long-term institutional partnerships in enabling access to international markets, strengthening value chains and supporting export growth as part of national economic development.
