An intermediate transfer belt that temporarily holds a toner image which is formed on an image carrier and transferred to the intermediate transfer belt includes a base member, an elastic layer laminated on the base member and a surface layer covering the elastic layer. With respect to the intermediate transfer belt, a volume resistivity of the surface layer is lower than a volume resistivity of an entirety of the intermediate transfer belt.
