Sembcorp Industries' Myanmar subsidiary unharmed by foreign law repayment halt

Its power plant continues to run whilst employees are safe.

Sembcorp Industries declared that its subsidiary in Myanmar has not received a directive to stop repayment of its foreign loans amidst news reports on Myanmar central bank’s suspension of repayment of foreign denominated loans.

In a company announcement, Sembcorp said its power plant there is still operating whilst employees are safe.

“Payments from its offtaker have also been promptly received, in accordance with its contract,” it added.

As of 30 June 2022, the net book value of the power plant was $135m (US$97m) and $292m ($209m) of the project’s loan remains outstanding.

Nevertheless, Sembcorp said it will monitor the situation and alert the public on developments of its operations in Myanmar.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
