IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, and PT CT Corpora (CT Corp) announced their first investment transaction together, in which IFC is providing a loan package of $275 million to PT Trans Corpora (Trans Corp), a wholly owned subsidiary of CT Corp. The aim is to support the growth of its retail, tourism, and property operations across the country.

IFCs investment will help Trans Corp add new retail stores across 25 cities by 2025. This will subsequently boost the growth of modern retail infrastructure across the country and improve consumers access to a range of quality products. It will further develop local supply chains, involving a larger base of local suppliers and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

Trans Corps expansion of its retail operations is expected to create over 30,000 new jobs in Indonesia. In addition, working with over 6,000 suppliersnearly 70 percent are SMEsaround 23,000 indirect jobs will be created in areas such as farming and distribution.

IFCs support will help us expand and serve a growing number of customers with innovative products and services, while also investing in their future by adopting more sustainable business practices, said Chairul Tanjung, CT Corp Chairman.

In line with the government of Indonesias strategic priority to develop the countrys tourism sector supported by a World Bank loan of $300 million, IFCs investment will also help Trans Corp expand its tourism operations. In addition to its existing properties, the Group has an agreement with Accor, a global hospitality company, to develop 30 new hotels, adding nearly 6,000 new rooms across the country.
