BCA Joins Bank BNI and Bank Mandiri to Back BUMA's Diversification Strategy with USD250 Million Equivalent Facility

PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama (BUMA), the principal subsidiary of PT Delta Dunia Makmur Tbk (Delta Dunia Group, IDX: DOID), secured a USD250 million equivalent Accordion Facility from PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA). The accordion facility builds on BUMA's existing syndicated financing facility with PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BNI) and PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk (Bank Mandiri), further diversifying its sources of financing. The accordion facility upsized the syndicated financing facility from USD750 million to USD1 billion. BCA's participation underscores the firm trust of Indonesia's top banks in BUMA's operational excellence and long-term growth strategy, including the company's efforts in business diversification. JAKARTA, INDONESIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 February 2025 - PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama (BUMA), the principal subsidiary of PT Delta Dunia Makmur Tbk (Delta Dunia Group, IDX: DOID), further strengthened its financing by securing a USD250 million equivalent Accordion Facility from PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA). The multi-currency facility, which includes up to USD75 million and Rp2.88 trillion from BCA, builds on BUMA's existing syndicated financing as part of its broader strategy for financial diversification. Initially secured in December 2023 with PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BNI) and later expanded with PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk (Bank Mandiri), the expansion of BUMA's syndicated financing facility demonstrates the robust confidence of Indonesia's leading banks in BUMA's track record on operations and growth. With BCA joining the syndication, the total facility is upsized to USD1 billion, further highlighting BUMA's successful achievements in diversifying funding sources. Iwan Fuad Salim, Director of Delta Dunia Group, stated, 'We are honored by the ongoing support from Indonesia's leading banks—BNI, Bank Mandiri, and now BCA. BCA's decision to join the syndication further widens our financial sources and reinforces the Banks' confidence in BUMA's track record and strategy. This expanded facility plays a key role in our financing diversification strategy, enhancing our ability to manage resources effectively, and ensuring sustained progress.' The initial USD750 million syndicated financing facility was strategically structured into two tranches, allowing BUMA to refinance its debts and loans, thus providing financial flexibility until 2029. Simultaneously, this financing facility will be used to fund a transformative acquisition as part of the company's efforts to diversify its business towards more sustainable practices. Silfanny Bahar, Director of BUMA, added, 'The Accordion Facility from BCA equips BUMA with strengthened financing, enabling BUMA to implement transformative actions that capitalize on current market opportunities swiftly. This facility also reaffirms our commitment to accelerating progress and creating meaningful value for our stakeholders.' 'With the strong backing from our syndicated facility, BUMA is well-positioned for continued success as a diversified global company,' Iwan concluded.

Is Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (TLK) the Best Asian Stock to Invest in According to Analysts?

We recently compiled a list of the . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (NYSE:TLK) stands against other best Asian stocks to invest in according to analysts. Asian markets traded mixed on Friday, January 24 as investors digested a series of economic reports from China, which showed robust growth in the fourth quarter of 2024. The country's economy expanded by 5.4%, surpassing expectations and contributing to a full-year growth rate of 5%, according to China's National Bureau of Statistics. Key economic indicators from China were particularly encouraging. Retail sales in December jumped 3.7% year-on-year, exceeding the forecast of 3.5%. Industrial output also expanded 6.2% year-on-year, higher than the anticipated 5.4%. This positive economic data was a significant driver of market sentiment across the region and provided a strong tailwind for market performance, especially in markets closely tied to China's economic health. Japan's Nikkei 225, however, ended the day down 0.31% at 38,451.46, while the Topix lost 0.33% to 2,679.42. Despite the positive economic data from China, Japanese markets were influenced by broader global factors and domestic economic concerns. South Korea's Kospi closed slightly lower, falling 0.16% to 2,523.55, while the tech-focused Kosdaq edged up 0.06% to 724.69.

In an interview with CNBC on January 15, David Herro, Partner and Portfolio Manager at Harris Associates, discussed the potential opportunities in international markets. Herro noted that while U.S. stocks have been the center of attention and have seen significant gains over the past decade, international equities, offer attractive investment opportunities due to their undervalued nature and growth potential. Herro emphasized that the valuation differential between U.S. and international stocks has become quite large, creating pockets of opportunity for investors. Many international stocks are trading at attractive multiples, with earnings ratios of about 10 times, and these valuations are based on projected earnings growth of around 10%. This combination of low multiples and reasonable growth expectations makes international equities almost irresistible for investors. Herro pointed out that the growth rates of international companies are not solely dependent on their home markets but are influenced by their global operations. For instance, many Asian companies, particularly in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, and consumer goods, have a significant presence in global markets. This global diversification can provide robust growth opportunities, even in the face of local economic challenges. He also highlighted the importance of considering the fundamentals of individual companies rather than just the macroeconomic conditions of their home countries. Many companies, despite operating in regions with varying economic conditions, have strong business models and are positioned to benefit from global trends such as digitalization, urbanization, and rising consumer spending. As investors seek opportunities beyond the U.S., Asian markets stand out as promising destinations for long-term growth.
