The Singapore Fintech Association and Enterprise Singapore, together with Synthesis Communication Indonesia, organized a business seminar and networking event entitled “Fintech: Fostering Cross Border Collaboration” on August 24, 2022, in Jakarta to further dissect investment opportunities in Indonesia’s digital economy. The event was attended by 18 SFA members and several Indonesian companies from various sub-sectors of the digital economy as well as representatives of many Fintech companies who are members of the Indonesia Fintech Association (AFTECH).
The association also called for more initiatives to boost financial inclusion, including working with regional or provincial banks for working capital lending disbursement. Currently, only around 7 percent of the total regional bank loans are being disbursed properly.
Having said that, there is still around 92 percent idle money in provincial banks that can be channelled into productive credit by collaborating with crowdfunding Fintech.
Moreover, of late, the government has continued to update regulations to encourage greater investment in the Fintech space.
