Building for a better future
Developing the basic infrastructure of Indonesia is no easy task, but PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero) (PT SMI) makes this its main goal.
“I would like PT SMI to be seen as an organisation that facilitates the acceleration of infrastructure growth in the country,” says Emma Sri Martini, CEO of PT SMI.
Since 2009, PT SMI has provided some financing for infrastructure projects in Indonesia. Acting as a catalyst and facilitator in the acceleration of infrastructure development in Indonesia, PT SMI has established strong partnerships with the private sectors and multilateral and bilateral institutions in order to increase the capacity of infrastructure funding. “However, those looking to participate in the area of infrastructure can utilise PT SMI as a window for investing,” says Ms Martini.
