Speaking yesterday at the 2025 Indonesia Investment and Trade Forum hosted by Bangkok Bank and its Indonesia operation Permata Bank, BBL president Chartsiri Sophonpanich said Indonesia offers strong economic and social potential, with GDP per person rising from US$3,370 in 2015 to $4,980 last year, reflecting rising national wealth and an attractive investment destination.

In addition to supporting large local corporations investing in Indonesia, the bank is also prepared to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking to expand into the regional market.

These medium-sized businesses often play a crucial role in the supply chains of various industries, he said.
