Indonesia’s investment landscape is buzzing as more companies from the Chinese mainland eye opportunities across the archipelago and the broader ASEAN region. With markets evolving rapidly, financing has become a critical enabler for deals big and small.
In a recent conversation with CGTN’s Wang Tianyu, Donny Donosepoetro, CEO of Standard Chartered Indonesia, explained how his bank is positioning itself at the forefront of this trend. "We see a robust pipeline of inbound deals from the Chinese mainland across sectors such as renewable energy, manufacturing, and digital infrastructure," Donosepoetro noted. He emphasized the importance of sustainability criteria and blended finance instruments to align investments with global ESG standards.
This trend isn’t just about big-ticket infrastructure—it’s powering digital startups and fueling green energy projects. For young entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts, partnerships backed by a global bank like Standard Chartered open doors to new markets, cross-border mentorships, and co-innovation opportunities.
Beyond business, these investments can spark broader cultural and travel exchanges. As improved infrastructure and digital connectivity spread, travellers and digital nomads will find fresh destinations to explore—from eco-resorts in Kalimantan to smart-city hubs in Java.
Looking ahead, Donosepoetro remains optimistic: Indonesia’s pro-investment policies and the Chinese mainland’s search for new growth frontiers are creating a win-win. With tailored financing solutions, Standard Chartered Indonesia aims to bridge currencies, cultures, and regulations—unlocking value for investors and local communities alike.
