ASIATODAY.ID, JAKARTA – FinDev Canada has officially entered the Indonesian market, committing a US$30 million loan facility to PT Indonesia Infrastructure Finance (IIF) to accelerate sustainable and low-carbon infrastructure development.
The move signals growing international confidence in Indonesia as a strategic green investment destination in ASEAN and the broader Indo-Pacific region.
Indonesia Positioned as a Strategic Green Investment Hub
The loan agreement was signed during the Canada-in-Asia Conference (CIAC), organized by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada on Wednesday, February 11, 2026.
This marks FinDev Canada’s first transaction in Indonesia and underscores the country’s rising importance in sustainable infrastructure financing.
The facility will support the expansion of renewable energy and low-carbon infrastructure projects, aligning with Indonesia’s national energy transition targets.
The government aims to increase the share of renewable energy in its energy mix to 31 percent by 2050 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2060.
Paulo Martelli, Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of FinDev Canada, described Indonesia as a key strategic market in ASEAN, particularly for sustainable development initiatives.
“Through our partnership with Indonesia Infrastructure Finance, we can strengthen renewable energy development and support shared prosperity across the Indo-Pacific,” he said in an official statement released by IIF on Thursday, February 12, 2026.
Strengthening Long-Term Green Financing Capacity
Rizki Pribadi Hasan, President Director and CEO of IIF, stated that the financing will enhance IIF’s capacity to support energy transition efforts and climate-resilient infrastructure development.
“This partnership expands access to long-term financing for renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure projects that are aligned with Indonesia’s low-carbon growth agenda,” he noted.
Over its 16 years of operation, IIF has played a catalytic role in national infrastructure development.
To date, it has supported renewable energy projects with a total installed capacity of approximately 709.9 megawatts (MW), supplying electricity to more than 709,900 households and potentially reducing carbon emissions by around 4.92 million tons of CO₂ annually.
Beyond the energy sector, IIF has helped expand access to clean water for approximately 7.2 million people and supported the development of healthcare facilities with more than 1,000 hospital beds across Indonesia.
A Strong Signal of Rising Global Capital Flows into Low-Carbon Infrastructure
FinDev Canada’s entry reinforces growing international financial support for Indonesia’s low-carbon infrastructure agenda.
Amid accelerating global decarbonization efforts, Indonesia is increasingly positioned as a pivotal market for sustainable finance, renewable energy expansion, and climate resilience investment.
The partnership also deepens bilateral cooperation between Canada and Indonesia in sustainable development, opening broader opportunities for green financing and long-term climate-aligned infrastructure growth. (AT Network)
