PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk (BSI) is targeting a minimum growth of 10 per cent in transaction volumes for the BSI International Expo 2026 compared to the previous year. During the 2025 event, transaction volumes reached approximately Rp2.6 trillion.

BSI’s SEVP of Digital Banking, M. Misbahul Munir, stated that increasing transactions is one of the bank’s primary objectives for this year’s expo. BSI hopes that the business activities generated during the exhibition will provide a greater impact for entrepreneurs.

“As previously mentioned by Mr Wawan, last year reached Rp2.6 trillion; this year, we are aiming for a minimum of 10 per cent to 30 per cent growth,” Munir said during a BSI International Expo 2026 media briefing on Wednesday (23/09/2026).

In addition to transactions, BSI also targets a minimum 10 per cent increase in the number of visitors. BSI’s SEVP of Consumer Product Solutions, Wawan Setiawan, noted that BSI aims to expand public participation in this year’s expo, including attracting more members of the younger generation.

“From the visitor perspective, we aim for at least a 10 per cent increase, but beyond that, we want to see higher levels of public participation,” said Wawan.

According to Wawan, BSI is introducing several new content elements to attract the public. This year’s expo will target more Gen Z and millennials through various activities, including gamification and sporting events.

The BSI International Expo 2026 will be held from 22–25 October 2026 at JICC Hall A and B, Jakarta. This year, there are approximately 426 tenants from various sectors, ranging from food and beverage, halal travel, Muslim fashion, property, automotive, and halal cosmetics to MSMEs.

Munir added that BSI will also strengthen digital transactions during the expo. This aligns with the high usage of digital channels for BSI transactions, which currently stands at approximately 98.8 per cent.

BSI is carrying the theme “Buy Local, Go Global” for the 2026 International Expo. Through this theme, BSI aims to connect MSMEs and the halal industry with potential buyers and open opportunities for market expansion.

Wawan stated that BSI wants the expo to be more than just an exhibition, but to provide a concrete business impact for entrepreneurs through business connections, transactions, collaborations, and access to new markets.

“Buy Local, Go Global is an effort to bring local products from the domestic market to a wider global market,” he concluded.
