PT Bank Permata (BNLI.JK) has raised IDR700 billion ($76
million) by selling 10-year unsecured subordinated medium-term
notes to its shareholder Standard Chartered PLC (STAN.LN).
The note, which was priced at par, carries a coupon of 275 basis
points over the rate for Bank Indonesia's three-month money market
notes, Bank Permata said Thursday.
"This issuance further strengthens Permata's balance sheet and
gives us even greater flexibility to take advantage of growth
opportunities in the Indonesian banking market as they emerge,"
President Director David Fletcher said in a press release.
Standard Chartered holds a 44.5% stake in Bank Permata, with PT
Astra International (ASII.JK) owning 44.5%, and the public the
remaining 11%.
