Bank Mandiri eyes $221mln rights issue

Move targeted to strengthen capital adequacy ratio and boost lending.

Indonesia's largest lender, PT Bank Mandiri, aims to raise more than 2 trillion rupiah ($221.2 million) via a right issue in the second half of the year or in the first quarter of 2011, its finance director said on Wednesday.

"The value of the rights issue maybe the same as a planned subordinated debt issue," Pahala Mansury, Mandiri's chief financial officer, told Reuters by telephone.

The company has previously said that it planned to raise $200-$300 million in a subordinated debt issue later this year in order to strengthen its capital adequacy ratio and to support higher lending.

However, Pahala said that the rights issue by the state-controlled bank was still subject to the approval of the parliament.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
