JAKARTA - PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk (BSI) recorded a portion of infrastructure financing of IDR 13 trillion or around 8 percent of the total BSI financing portfolio until October 2021.
"Until October 2021, Bank Syariah Indonesia has a portfolio in infrastructure financing of more than Rp. 13 trillion. So this is a relatively large number if we face it with our total financing exposure at the same position of Rp. 163 trillion," said Wholesale & Transaction Banking Director BSI. Kusman Yandi in an online seminar, quoted from Antara, Thursday, November 25.
Kusman Yandi said BSI is heavily involved in civil construction projects, including for toll roads, with BSI's involvement in more than seven toll roads and a limit figure of more than Rp5.3 trillion.
"We also invest a lot in the sector to finance electricity projects, whether it's PLN's capex or Independent Power Producer (IPP) projects or privately owned national electricity producers," he said.
In addition, BSI has also entered into airport projects, particularly at PT Angkasa Pura I. BSI has also entered the port sector, particularly at PT Pelindo I prior to the Pelindo merger process.
"In 2021, we can also see that during this year we have approved (financing) for five infrastructure projects, four of which are under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme with a total limit of IDR 1.8 trillion," said Kusman. Yandi.
For the future, BSI sees that for 2020-2024, there is a funding gap for funding for infrastructure development which is quite large, in the range of Rp. 6,445 trillion. While the capacity of the state budget is only able to provide in the figure of Rp2,385 trillion.
Thus, there is a relatively large funding gap of IDR 4,060 trillion or 63 percent of the total needs, spread across several project groups such as basic service infrastructure, economic infrastructure, urban infrastructure, and energy and electricity.
