Notable Events

Chairman of GIPA, Steven Marcelino, introduced the roundtable with welcoming remarks from both Harun Reksodiputro (Managing Partner of Allen & Overy Indonesia) and opening remarks from Pandu Sjahrir (Chairman of Indonesia Fintech Association (or AFTECH) and ShopeePay). Despite a 2% inflation, Mr Sjahrir noted that Indonesia’s economy grew by 5 3% in the early quarter of 2022 Part of the reason for this growth comes from the digital economy (with the likes of online shopping and e-transfer of money) which skyrocketed during the pandemic, causing Indonesia to be a top 4 investment for business and technology

These remarks were followed by briefings from Chris Wilford (Director of Financial Services Policy at Confederation British Industries (CBI) and Budi Gandasoebrata (Secretary General of AFTECH and Managing Director of GoTo Financial) respectively Mr Wilford mentioned that the CBI represents one-third of the UK’s private sector and that the fintech industry is worth $ 11.6 billion in investments alone Over the past decade, the UK underwent a fintech revolution in terms of jobs, innovation, and increased opportunities for global trade for years to come Mr Wilford and noted that the room for investment to better support an ever-widening pool of talent in technology and businesses to adopt fintech innovations has never been better

Mr Gandasoebrata presented on the growth of Indonesia’s fintech industry as well as AFTECH’s role. Some of the key highlights from his presentation include:

Over 30 times increase of e-transfer transactions from 2017 to March 2022, An increase of 50,000 lenders and 5 million borrowers in the local fintech industry from December 2021 to March 2022 and, 59% of fintech users are from the low to middle income segments (5 to 15 million IDR)

All of this is to say Indonesia’s fintech industry is the largest in the Asia Pacific region and one that stimulates substantial economic recovery.

AFTECH’s role in sustaining the fintech growth is by bridging all the fintech vertical integration across Indonesia “through digital finance innovation” and building the local public policy, community collaboration, digital literacy and knowledge capital in this space Mr Gandasoebrata noted that building up knowledge capital is a key step to reduce the risks of cyber attacks, money laundering ponzi schemes and terrorism funding AFTECH’s key priority for the rest of the year is to continue working with regulators in developing fintech policies and build strategic collaborations with local and global partners to increase fintech talent (through university internships and mentorship with skilled tech workers) and the supporting knowledge capacity across Indonesia

The event wrapped up with a Questions and Answers session and was followed by a B20 Indonesia Networking Reception The reception was welcomed by Harun Reksodiputro, with an opening speech by Fajrin Rasyid (Deputy Chair of Taskforce on Digitization at B20 Indonesia), remarks by Pandu Sjahrir and Natalie Black (HM Trade Commissioner for Asia Pacific)
