Bond interest rate payments were recorded at Rp 1.13 trillion, while loan interest and leasing costs were recorded at Rp 228.38 billion.As reported previously, Inalum has issued $4 billion in global bonds, as the company needed the funds to acquire a 40 percent stake in gold and copper miner PT Freeport Indonesia from the latter's parent company Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) on Nov. 15, 2018.The bonds are divided into four categories: $1 billion with a 3-year tenor and 5.23 percent coupon rate; $1.25 billion with a 5-year tenor, 5.71 percent coupon rate; $1 billion with a 10-year tenor, 6.53 percent coupon rate; and $750 million with a 30-year tenor, 6.7 percent coupon rate.
