Video: Boosting Exports, LPEI Assists 1,600 SMEs and Villages in Penetrating Global Markets

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Indonesia’s Export Financing Agency (LPEI) throughout 2025 successfully recorded positive growth with a net profit reaching Rp252 billion, up 8% year-on-year.

LPEI’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, who also serves as Executive Director, Sukatmo Padmosukarso, stated that the business and profit growth exceeding expectations was inseparable from business transformation support and financing that surged over 15%.

Amid global economic volatility, LPEI continues to promote diversification of financing in business sectors ranging from CPO, mining materials to manufacturing. Additionally, exports to certain regions through government policy support, such as Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, have contributed to LPEI’s business.

On the other hand, LPEI sees development potential in several sectors, including textiles and garments, which still have high demand despite issues with imported raw materials that must be addressed. Moreover, LPEI is encouraging SME development as well as the Export Village programme, which is currently participated in by 7,000 members, with 1,600 members already becoming exporters.

What are the efforts to promote export financing when the world is full of pressures, including the effects of the Middle East war? How about the impact of Indonesia’s debt rating downgrade on LPEI?
