Project Description
The project involves establishing a strategic alliance with Hana Bank (Hana), a leading financial institution in Korea and existing IFC’s client, in setting-up banking operation in Indonesia. This project is part of Hana’s global strategy to establish operations in selected developing markets in East Asia and Eastern Europe. The project involves an IFC equity investment of up to $5 million, which combined with equity investment from Hana, will be used to acquire a small local bank, PT. Bank Bintang Manunggal (BIMA or the Bank) and to increase the Bank’s capital base. The Bank will become an embryo of Hana’s operation in Indonesia which Hana will significantly grow to achieve Hana’s target to become one of Indonesia’s top 20 banks within 10 years time.
