Japan will stop providing loans for two key coal-fired power plant projects in Indonesia and Bangladesh, citing its commitment to phase out coal power plants in line with the Group of Seven (G–7) nations.

The two projects involved the Indramayu coal plant in Indonesia and the Matarbari coal plant in Bangladesh.
