JAKARTA - Chairul Tanjung conglomerate will further strengthen its relationship with PT Bukalapak.com Tbk (BUKA). This is in line with the entry of the e-commerce company as a strategic investor for PT Allo Bank Indonesia Tbk (BBHI).
Chairul Tanjung said that the CT group through PT Trans Retail would form a joint venture company with Bukalapak which is engaged in the e-commerce business. The items that will be sold will be specifically for vegetables and fresh food or fresh and grocery.
"Trans Retail is in the process of forming an e-commerce joint venture specifically for fresh and grocery," said the man who is familiarly called CT, Tuesday, January 11.
CT further said that Trans Retail would later own a 55 percent stake in the joint venture. Meanwhile, Bukalapak will shrink 45 percent.
However, CT still has not disclosed in detail about the business that was built with the e-commerce company.
"Just wait," he said.
CT's close relationship with Bukalapak began with the entry of the e-commerce company into Allo Bank's strategic investor through a rights issue that is currently in progress.
This bank will issue new shares with pre-emptive rights (HMETD) of 10.04 billion or 46.24 percent of the issued and fully paid-up capital at a price of Rp478 per share.
