PT Chandra Asri Pacific (TPIA) secures a US$800 million syndicated loan to fund environmentally and socially sustainable projects, with the support of international banking partners.
The loan facility, which includes an option for a “greenshoe” expansion, is provided by a consortium of banking partners from Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.
