On 17 December 2018, PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Tbk signed Export Credit Facility agreement with Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and BNP Paribas (Tokyo Branch) for 8 years duration. Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI) will provide insurance protection for tranches from BNP Paribas (Tokyo Branch). This facility will be used to finance the construction of a new 400 KTA polyethylene plant which will increase the company’s total PE production into 736 KTA. Later, this new plant will produce High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), and Metallocene LLDPE (mLLDPE). The operation of the new PE plant will be expected to become a new supply of domestic PE products, whose demand is estimated to reach around 1.4 million TPA and tend to increase along with economic growth.
