The proceeds of the investment should help support the companys capital expenditure program for the next few years including the expansion of the taxi fleet and some initiatives to improve efficiency (Project). - Increased demand of public transportation: with underdeveloped public transportation, rapid growing tourism and government proposal to limit car ownership, Blue Bird''s expansion program is important and needed as a transport alternative in major cities in Indonesia. - Promotion of private sector in taxi service industry in the region: The company''s strength and successful business model in Indonesia make it a suitable launching pad for the Company to expand abroad specifically into South East Asia market.  - Employment: The transaction will (i) generate local jobs and (ii) support employment in taxi service industry. Blue Bird has helped the economy by successfully recruiting 4,000 new drivers in 2012 and it is likely that Blue Bird will hire additional 5,000 new drivers (in addition to positions in call center, management, etc).  - Improved governance and transparency: Partial private ownership of the company will improve the Company''s transparency, operational and corporate governance practices. Furthermore, it will also help this key player in the taxi industry evolved from a family business to a professionally run listed company.  - Capital Markets: As a key investor in the IPO of Blue Bird, IFC will support the deepening of capital markets in Indonesia.
Ciluluk Village Microfinance The cooperative is seeking IFCs medium-term loan financing to: i) provide working capital facility for the cooperative members, to support and expand their hand-loom activities. ii) assist the cooperative develop systems so that it can properly manage the allocation, monitoring, and collection of the borrowed funds to/from its members.  Loan financing is currently not available to the cooperative.  Technical assistance will be provided through an agreement with a local NGO, Akitiga.
Ekonomi SME Loan The proposed project (the Project) will likely consist of a senior debt package for up to US$45 million to PT. Bank Ekonomi Raharja, Tbk. (Bank Ekonomi or the Bank) in Indonesia. The Project will support the Banks lending program for SMEs. The IFC financing package will allow the Bank to expand the volume and maturity of its SME loan portfolio. The proposed project is also consistent with both IFCs Indonesia and financial markets strategy given that this project will help provide more access to finance for SMEs, and promote job creation. 1. Job creation: To eventually create more local employment opportunities by increasing access to finance for SMEs. 2. To support economic growth in frontier regions: While big cities in Indonesia especially Jakarta are growing rapidly with increased banking penetration, frontier regions are left behind in terms of access to finance for SMEs, which hinders the economic growth in these regions. Having established its strong network in the frontier regions with plans to expand into other frontier regions to provide access to finance for SMEs, Bank Ekonomi will support the continued growth of the local economy.
OTO Loan II The proposed project seeks to support PT. Summit Oto Finance (OTO), an existing IFC client and a growing player in the motorcycle financing sector in Indonesia, by providing a dual currency loan facility to support OTOs growth and expansion plan to more frontier areas (the Project). This proposed Project is IFCs second round financing to OTO as in 2008, IFC provided a senior local currency loan amounting to US$45 million equivalent in rupiah which was fully disbursed and has been completely utilized.

The proposed Project is consistent with IFCs country and financial markets objectives of increasing both rural and urban incomes as it seeks to improve access to finance to low income households for acquiring personal transportation, critical to their business needs and mobility. The proposed Project is expected to have Development Impacts in the following areas:

1. Deepening the NBFI sector
Indonesia financial sector is still heavily dominated by banks, which accounts for 80% of the financial sector assets. Indonesia needs to develop Non-Banking Financial Institution (NBFI) sector, which can efficiently provide financing to consumers and SMEs through its ability to lower operational costs and deal with much smaller customers than banks would like to do. Additionally, NBFI can provide healthy competition to banks which eventually foster the development of financial sector even further. The proposed Project will provide OTO with adequate long-term fix rate financial resources for its growth. IFC support will help OTO develop its own funding sources, build the ability to compete with the banking system on an ongoing basis, and provide efficient, competitive financing to consumers.

2. Increasing access to motorcycle financing for low income households
OTO customers are mostly low income households who do not have bank accounts. IFC financial support to OTO will help OTO expand its portfolio and networks to more frontier provinces, and hence increase access to finance to low income households for acquiring personal transportation which is important to their business needs and mobility. 

3. Strengthening the micro and small business sectors
Motorcycle is an efficient mode of transportation to deliver goods and services. Hence, a large number of motorcycles owners use their motorcycles as part of their SME/ micro businesses. The proposed Project will facilitate the increase of motorcycles financing available to SME/ micro businesses which is necessary to expand their operations.
JICT Project PT Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT or Company), located in the port of Tanjung Priok, is the largest container terminal in Indonesia and handled almost 2 million Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) in 2008.  The proposed project includes (i) developing approximately 32 hectares of container yard, roads, parking and an administrative facility; (ii) acquiring new container handling equipment for the quay and the container yard; and (iii) constructing up to 24 entry gates and about 2 km of access roads. The capital investments will increase JICT facility capacity to 3 million TEUs annually, improve operating efficiency, and address existing congestion problems.  This will help develop an efficient and sustainable transport system for the country and improve the countrys port infrastructure to facilitate Indonesias long term international trade growth and reduce handling costs. The project will help strengthen the port sector in Indonesia by increasing container handling capacity and improving efficiency levels at JICT. The increased capacity at JICT will help ease congestion otherwise expected in the near future as traffic at the container terminal reaches capacity. The accompanying improvements in service levels will benefit port users including shipping lines, exporters, and importers.  The project will also create direct and indirect employment opportunities and increase revenues for the Government of Indonesia through higher tax payments and royalty and lease payments.
PT. Sunson Textile Description of Company and Purpose of Project    At the end of 1999, the company''s total outstanding debt was US$49 million, including a long-term syndicated loan of US$ 37 million. The syndicated loan was restructured in late 1999 and entails: (1) an annual option where the syndicate lenders have an option to call their loan if two-thirds of the lenders request such prepayment; (2) instalments of US$ 5 million during 2000, 2001 and 2002; and (3) a bullet repayment of US$ 22 million in September 2002. Since the company''s cash generation in 1999 was US$ 13 million, it is clear that the company cannot service the bullet repayment out of its operational cash flow. In addition, with respect to the refinancing of the bullet payment, some syndicate lenders have already indicated that they do not want to refinance due to reduced country exposure limits and their corporate strategy to get out of the loan business.  The purpose of the croject is to restructure the syndicated loan and to extend the loan maturity so that the debt could be reasonably serviced by the company''s operational cash flow.     Development Impact and IFC''s Role    The purposed investment''s main development impact is the demonstration effect that will be created by IFC''s support to an Indonesian company at a time when local commercial banks   are unable and foreign commercial banks are still reluctant to consider long-term financing. By helping viable companies continue normal production and remain competitive, IFCs lending at this time will send a positive signal to international investors and restore some of the confidence in the Indonesian private sector. IFCs B loan umbrella will also provide additional assurance to foreign lenders inducing them to increase their exposure and extend their maturity.   In addition,   by supporting an export-oriented company such as Sunson, the project will generate foreign exchange revenues necessary to assist Indonesia''s economic recovery.   The project also provides   for knowledge transfer to a second tier company that has shown strong interest in further improving its management practices.  IFC industry and environment specialists made several recommendations regarding (i) environmental improvement, (ii) inventory reduction and (iii) de-bottlenecking the companys production.  These suggestions were discussed with the company and will be pursued by the management.   Furthermore,    the project also provides for improved corporate governance. Although the company discloses its related parties transactions required by the Jakarta Stock Exchange, IFC shall impose additional restrictions. As such, transparency will increase which will also protect the interest of minority investors. This will serve as a good example for other Indonesian companies to follow.
P.T. Astra International Tbk. , P.T. Astra International is one of the largest automotive business in Indonesia.  The company also has interests in financial services, agribusiness and heavy equipment.  The $150 million rights issue will complement Astras recently scheduled comprehensive debt restructuring plan which will be approved on November 26, 2002. The plan aims to: establish an achievable debt amortization schedule, and an appropriate and sustainable capital structure; and  provide funding flexibility to support Astra's operations and business development.

Development Impact
Indonesia is lagging other Asian crisis countries in its corporate restructuring efforts. The project is part of the financial restructuring of one of the leading Indonesian private sector corporates and as such is expected to have a strong demonstration effect on the restructuring of the corporate sector in the country.  The venture will help Astra, which employs over 56,000 people, to be more competitive by enabling it to: strengthen its balance sheet; undertake needed investments in modernizing and expanding its automotive distribution/dealership business to further enhance customer service and productivity in a competitive and increasingly liberalized industry.  The proposed rights issue would be marketed extensively to institutional investors in the US and in Europe and would help to re-introduce Indonesia and Astra to these markets.

IFC Role
because of its strong, long-standing relationship with Astra and its reputation as an independent investor, IFC has been invited by C&C/Jardines to be a stand-by investor for unsubscribed rights. IFC involvement should help ensure success of the rights issue in the current uncertain economic and political climate and send a strong signal to the investment community that IFC is supportive of first-class companies in Indonesia with good corporate governance and environmental performance.  This is the first non-distressed rights issue in Indonesia since the Asian crisis and its success would provide a much-needed vote of confidence in Indonesias manufacturing sector.
Riau IPP Project 0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0.0000       The proposed project is the development, construction and operation of a 275 megawatt (MW) combined cycle gas turbine power plant and about 40-kilometer gas pipeline in Riau Province, Sumatera, Indonesia. (the Project) Following a competitive bidding process, the Project was awarded to a consortium of PT Medco Power Indonesia (51%) and   Ratchaburi   Electricity Generating Holding Public Company Limited (49%), (together, the Sponsors) to implement the project through a project company Medco   Ratch   Power Riau (MRPR).  The Project has secured a 20-year power purchase agreement from the national electricity utility, PT Perusahaan   Listrik   Negara (PLN) and it is anticipated that the Project will generate about 1.4   TWh   of electricity annually  . Project-level outcomes 
Stakeholder effects - IFC anticipates that the Project will help address some of the supply shortage in the country, especially in Sumatra. The Project is among the first batch of gas-fired IPPs being tendered by PLN under the "35GW Program", a national policy priority to scale up generation capacity. The supply of power in Indonesia has not been able to keep pace with rapid electricity demand, and the project will help address some of the supply shortage in the country by adding 275MW of generation capacity.
 Environmental effect: The Project will add to the thermal generation capacity in Indonesia. There could be a potential net a reduction in the CO2 intensity in the island if the plant displaces more polluting sources of generation but needs to be substantiated. 

Contribution to market creation 
Competitiveness - The Project could contribute to market competitiveness by supporting a local private player expand their market share. The Project also represents the first entry into the Indonesia power generation space by the Thai JV partner - a leading IPP in Thailand. The total installed power generation capacity in Indonesia at the end of 2015 was 55.5GW, of which 38.9GW (70 percent) is state-owned. The Project has the potential to lead to positive demonstration effects for other IPPs and private investors to enter the Indonesian energy market.
ACV Capital V The proposed investment is (i) an equity investment up to US$20.35M in ACV Capital V L.P (ACV Fund V or the Fund) and (ii) a separate co-investment envelope up to US$20M to invest alongside ACV managed funds. ACV Fund V is a US$200M (target) Indonesia focused venture capital (VC) fund. The Fund will be managed by ACV Capital V G.P (ACV or the Manager). ACV Fund V shall make initial investments in Seed to Series A stage and make follow-on investments through Series B. The Fund will focus on climate tech, fintech, SME tech, eCommerce, edtech, and healthtech sectors. The Fund will increase access to equity and operational value added for tech startups in Indonesia, particularly for female founded companies. In the context of a region where women-led enterprises received less than 9% of equity, ACV has demonstrated itself as a market leader in investing in female founded companies. ACV previously committed to investing in 35% female founded companies in its predecessor fund; and initial analysis shows they are on track to achieve this objective. In Fund V, ACV is expected to expand on this commitment and continue to establish itself as a more influential local player that demonstrates that investing in female founders also delivers financial returns. Beyond the project, the Fund will continue to increase innovation in key sectors in Indonesia through the support of market-disrupting digital business models. Indonesia is the most established venture market in ASEAN and holds the majority of Unicorn tech businesses in the region. Yet given the size of Indonesias economy, there remains room for further digital integration.
ALPHA JWC VENTURES III LP The proposed investment is for up to US$20M in Alpha JWC Ventures III, L.P. (Alpha III, or the Fund), subject to IFC not exceeding 10% of the Fund. Alpha III is a US$250M (target) Indonesia focused venture capital (VC) fund. It will be managed by Alpha JWC Management Ltd. (Alpha JWC or the Manager) and plans to target investments across seed to Series B rounds in various sectors including new consumer-oriented models and fintech, with opportunistic positioning in other sectors. The most significant expected project-level outcomes include i) providing early stage capital and value creation expertise to tech-entrepreneurs to enable businesses to scale up; and ii) increasing competitiveness of businesses through the support of market-disrupting digital business models.
