Honored to have the opportunity to serve as Moderator at the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) between the Indonesian National Shipowners’ Association (INSA) and Bank Indonesia, focusing on the extension of the use of Rupiah in Indonesia’s shipping sector.

My sincere appreciation to our distinguished speakers from Bank Indonesia’s Payment System Policy Department: Ms. Primitiva, Deputy Director, and Mr. Pandu, Manager, for sharing their insights, clarification, and perspectives throughout the discussion.

Special thanks to Mrs. Carmelita Hartoto, Chairwoman of INSA, for her leadership and for facilitating this important dialogue between the shipping industry and Bank Indonesia.

Constructive engagement between regulators and industry stakeholders is essential to ensure that financial policies strengthen Indonesia’s economy while maintaining the competitiveness and sustainability of our national shipping industry.

Thank you to Bank Indonesia, INSA, all participants, and everyone involved in making this FGD a meaningful and productive discussion.
