A conductive belt having a base layer (3) electroconductive and made of a
resin, an intermediate layer (5) ionic-conductive and made of an
elastomer, and a surface coating layer (7). The base layer (3) has a
tensile modulus of elasticity of not less than 500 Mpa and a volume
electric resistance value not less than 10.sup.6 .OMEGA.cm nor more than
10.sup.11 .OMEGA.cm. The intermediate layer (5) has a JIS A hardness less
than 70, a thickness not less than 50 .mu.m nor more than 600 .mu.m, and
a volume electric resistance value not less than 10.sup.8 .OMEGA.cm nor
more than 10.sup.14 .OMEGA.cm.
