14 May 2025
Jakarta, ID – Bank Indonesia (BI) emphasises the importance of cross-sector collaboration to support a resilient and environmentally friendly economic transformation. This requires the development of a green financial ecosystem and an inclusive digital payment system, including the empowerment of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
This was conveyed by BI Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti at the Bank Indonesia Business Forum, titled Sustainable Growth through Connectivity: Unlocking Indonesia's Green Investment Opportunities, on Monday, 12 May 2025.
"We believe that macroeconomic stability and a strong financial system are essential foundations for successful structural transformation," Destry stated in a press release on Tuesday, 13 May 2025.
She stressed the importance of synergy in the framework of green financing, digital economy collaboration, and the ongoing strengthening of local currency transactions through Indonesia-Japan partnerships, alongside the promotion of ten flagship projects in Indonesia.
During the business forum, Japanese investors signed a letter of intent, demonstrating their commitment to advancing green and sustainable investment. The agreements covered various projects, including the development of the Bogor Tramway by Kishu Tetsudo Co Ltd; the Floating Solar Power Plant by TEPCO Renewable Power Inc, Morimitsu Industry Co Ltd, and ExBROAD Co Ltd; the Integrated Milkfish Farming Project by Make Moment Production; and Waste Management and Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) Projects by Takashima Eisei Co Ltd.
"This business forum is a tangible example of cooperation between Indonesia and Japan. Indonesia and Japan have established a comprehensive strategic partnership, reflecting deeper collaboration across multiple sectors, such as green economy and industrial downstreaming," said Heri Akhmadi, Indonesia’s Ambassador to Japan.
Meanwhile, Imam Soejoedi, Expert Staff for Macroeconomics at the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM, reaffirmed the government's commitment to promoting industrial downstreaming and high-quality investment. He stated that Indonesia is focused on sustainably developing industries based on natural resources while increasing value-added production.
"We invite Japan’s strategic partners to participate in this transformation, especially in the renewable energy sector, mineral processing, and green industrial zones," Imam remarked.
On a related note, Indonesia Pavilion Director Rosy Wediawaty highlighted that discussions at the forum further strengthened the role of the Indonesia Pavilion as a diplomatic investment bridge facilitating cross-country dialogues.
"The Indonesia Pavilion at World Expo 2025 Osaka is not only a showcase of national potential but also a real platform for Indonesia to foster sustainable partnerships, particularly with Japan, in realising green and inclusive economic growth," Rosy stated.
