Bank Indonesia introduces Bali investment projects to six ambassadors
The Bank Indonesia (BI) Representative Office in Bali has introduced investment projects on the Island of the Gods, including the Sanur Health Special Economic Zone (SEZ), to ambassadors from six friendly nations during the Bali Jagadhita 2026 event.
“We are promoting the pillars of trade, tourism, and investment, as well as expanding market access for MSMEs,” stated the Head of the BI Bali Representative Office, Achris Sarwani, during the closing of the Bali Jagadhita 202<0xA0>6 event in Kuta, Badung, on Sunday night.
The attending ambassadors included representatives from Armenia, Oman, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Romania, and Bahrain. The central bank 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 owners of 21 investment projects in Bali and Nusa Tenggara and 35 other potential investors. This investment promotion is a key component of the annual integrated event, alongside a trade pillar designed 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, with the total potential value of displayed products from Bali and Nusa Tenggara estimated at 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 fair brought together 407 business participants acting as buyers from 44 countries and tourism players from 12 provinces across Indonesia, involving 208 sellers.
Meanwhile, the Regional Secretary of Bali Province, Dewa Made Indra, expressed appreciation for Bank Indonesia Bali’s consistency in initiating this event and collaborating with various parties to promote Bali’s trade, tourism, and investment potential. “We are open to investment, provided that all investments respect Balinese culture and support sustainability,” he added.
