Bank Indonesia introduces Bali investment projects to six ambassadors

The Bank Indonesia (BI) Representative Office in Bali introduced investment projects on the Island of the Gods, including the Sanur Health Special Economic Zone (SEZ), to ambassadors from six friendly nations through the Bali Jagadhita 2026 event.

“We are promoting the pillars of trade, tourism, and investment, as well as expanding market access for MSMEs,” said the Head of the BI Bali Representative Office, Achris Sarwani, during the closing of the Bali Jagadhita 2026 event in Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali, on Sunday night.

The attending ambassadors included the Ambassadors of Armenia, Oman, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Romania, and Bahrain. The central bank’s representative invited the ambassadors to familiarise themselves with existing healthcare facilities and services that are set to open soon.

Furthermore, the office facilitated meetings between the executors and owners of 21 investment projects in Bali and Nusa Tenggara and the ambassadors, alongside 35 other potential investors. This investment promotion is a vital component of the annual integrated event, alongside the trade pillar which seeks to expand business potential, particularly for export-oriented MSMEs.

During the Bali Jagadhita event held from 5–7 June 2026 at Mal Bali Galeria Kuta, Achris Sarwani noted that direct transactions across 60 MSME booths reached approximately Rp1.9 billion, showcasing products from Bali and Nusa Tenggara with an estimated total potential value of Rp23 billion.

Regarding the tourism pillar, the office also participated in supporting the annual Bali Beyond and Travel Fair (BBTF) held in late May 2026, which recorded an estimated transaction value of Rp6.9 trillion. The event brought together 407 business participants acting as buyers from 44 countries and tourism players from 12 provinces across the country, involving 208 sellers.

Meanwhile, the Regional Secretary of Bali Province, Dewa Made Indra, expressed appreciation for the consistency of BI Bali in initiating this event and synergising with various parties to promote Bali’s trade, tourism, and investment potential. “We are open to investment. The condition is that all investments must respect Balinese culture and support sustainability,” he added.
