PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero), or PT SMI, has disbursed financing worth Rp 268.36 billion to the Regency Governments of Pemalang, Ciamis and Rokan Hulu to support local infrastructure development. The funds comprise Rp 55 billion for Pemalang Regency, Rp 58.37 billion for Ciamis Regency and Rp 154.99 billion for Rokan Hulu Regency.

The financing will be used for the construction of health infrastructure, the revitalisation of public facilities and the strengthening of basic services in the three regions. “These three regions face different development challenges, ranging from health services and market revitalisation to the organisation of public services,” said Faaris Pranawa, Director of Public Financing and Project Development at PT SMI, in a written statement on Friday, 17 July 2026.

In Pemalang Regency, the financing will be used to complete the construction of the Randudongkal Regional General Hospital (RSUD). Meanwhile, in Ciamis Regency, the funds have been allocated for the revitalisation of Banjarsari Market, the development of Purwadadi Community Health Centre and the rehabilitation of primary schools. In Rokan Hulu Regency, the financing will be used to rehabilitate the Public Service Mall building as well as to build a regional general hospital along with its supporting facilities.

PT SMI stated that the financing is expected to improve public access to health and public services while strengthening the regional economy. In 2025, the agricultural sector was the largest contributor to Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in all three regencies, accounting for 25.51 per cent in Pemalang, 21.76 per cent in Ciamis and 53.26 per cent in Rokan Hulu.

The company also recorded rising locally generated revenue (PAD) and economic growth, which it considers supportive of sustainable development in each region. As of May 2026, PT SMI’s total financing commitment to regional governments had reached Rp 37.41 trillion, with an outstanding balance of Rp 14.03 trillion. The company disburses this financing through the Regional Loan scheme to support infrastructure development and improved public service quality in the regions.

The financing agreements with the Pemalang and Ciamis Regency Governments were signed on 15 July 2026 at the PT SMI office in Jakarta by Faaris Pranawa together with Pemalang Regent Anom Widiyantoro and Ciamis Regent Herdiat Sunarya. The agreement with the Rokan Hulu Regency Government was signed on 17 July 2026 at the same location by Faaris together with Rokan Hulu Regent Anton.
