UOB inks collaboration deal with Indonesian investment agency

To facilitate more FDI into the archipelago.

United Overseas Bank has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Indonesia's Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) in a bid to increase foreign direct investments (FDI) into, and trade with, Indonesia.

The MOU marks BKPM’s first collaboration with a non-Indonesian bank in Southeast Asia. BKPM is an agency that supports FDI into Indonesia as well as Indonesian companies venturing overseas.

Under the MOU, UOB's clients can apply for their Indonesia Principle Licence directly in Singapore. The Principle Licence is the first licence a foreign company must obtain to incorporate an entity in Indonesia.

“This MOU brings together the complementary strengths of UOB’s long-established regional network and BKPM’s as leading government agency for FDI to help regional businesses expand into the country. This will help to promote investments in Indonesia across major sectors such as the infrastructure, maritime, import substitution, export oriented, agriculture, downstream mining, industrial estate and tourism industries,” said Franky Sibarani, Chairman of BKPM.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.
The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
