Telkom to secure bank loans
Indonesian telco provider PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia or Telkom (IDX: TLKM) will be looking to secure Rp9 trillion (US$725 million) bank loan to meet 30-40% of its capital expenditure next year, writes Bisnis Indonesia.
Telkom CEO Rinaldi Firmansyah said that Rp22.5 trillion (US$1.8 billion) of capital expenditure will be made next year to construct telco towers, expansion of network and transmissions, of which 60% will be procured by its mobile provider subsidiary Telkomsel.
Commenting about the plan, Firmansyah said, "Bank loan is preferable to issuing bonds or securities at the moment, which wouldn’t seem to attract many buyers in the midst of the global crisis.
The company’s financial disclosure for Q3 of 2008 indicates Rp44.60 trillion (US$3.6 billion) in operating income and Rp8.92 trillion (US$719 million) in net income. It has a total of Rp86.02 trillion (US$6.9 billion) in assets and Rp44.63 trillion (US$3.6 billion) in liabilities.
