His excellency Pak. Yul Edison, Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia in Hong Kong, shared at the conference how Indonesia is adapting to the global trade environment, with a shift from traditional manufacturing to digital industries and e-commerce. “Despite global volatility, Indonesia’s economy is also expected to grow by around 5% this year, supported by resilient domestic demand and fiscal discipline. These numbers reflect Indonesia’s structural transformation in recent years. Our industrial hubs in Batang, Kendal, and Subang are attracting firms seeking to relocate from China or scale regionally, especially in the EV, electronics, and pharmaceutical sectors.”
Andrew You, Co-Founder of edge, said, “edge aims to establish a trusted business platform that fosters deep connections in the digital economy between Hong Kong and Indonesia, with a passion to continue advocating for business innovation and economic development. As the commercial hub connecting these two markets, we are delighted to partner with DBS Hong Kong to help corporates explore new frontiers of development.”
As Asia enters a new chapter of economic transformation, Indonesia’s economic momentum is accelerated and driven by a young, tech-savvy population and rising consumption. DBS Hong Kong continues to serve its clients with financing, capital deployment and risk management based in the GBA. The bank believes that Hong Kong’s mature financial infrastructure combines with DBS’s position as a connectivity hub in Asia, makes it a natural launchpad for regional expansion into Indonesia.
