Jakarta, October 24^th, 2025 – PT Bank OCBC NISP Tbk (“OCBC”) once again held the OCBC Business Forum 2025, an event that brought together business professionals, entrepreneurs, and experts to discuss business trends and opportunities amidst the dynamics of the global economy. This year, the forum, held at St. Regis, Jakarta, raised the theme “Navigating Global Challenges: Strategies for Resilient Growth and Collaboration,” to highlight the importance of adaptive and collaborative business strategies in facing the challenging dynamics of the global economy.

This year’s forum was attended by more than 600 participants, including Corporate Banking, Private Bank and Premier Banking clients, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), regulators, media outlets, and strategic partners. Through a series of inspiring discussions and classes, the forum provided a platform for participants to broaden their horizons, build cross-sector connections, and explore potential collaborations that can strengthen business resilience amidst rapid change.

Data from the Ministry of Finance shows that the Indonesian economy grew 5.11% Year on Year (YoY) in the second quarter of 2025, with key contributions from the manufacturing, trade, and financial services sectors. Inflation, which remains under control at below 3%, reflects stable public purchasing power and confirms investor confidence in the national economic fundamentals. Consistent with this, international institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank have ranked Indonesia as one of the countries with the most stable growth prospects in the Asian region.

Therefore, for business players, this condition is a momentum to expand investment, increase efficiency, and adapt to market changes. Parwati Surjaudaja, President Director of OCBC adding the importance of sustaining this optimism, “In a rapidly changing business environment, collaboration is key to seizing opportunities. OCBC Business Forum 2025 is a response to the positive dynamics of the Indonesian economy driven by consumption, investment, and exports that continue to strengthen. We hope that business players can gain inspiration and new perspectives while broadening business networking to navigate challenges while capitalizing on emerging opportunities,” she explained.
