Investment Minister Opens BSI International Expo 2025, Urges Indonesia to Lead Global Halal Economy
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Minister of Investment and Downstream Industries/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Roeslani officially opened the BSI International Expo 2025.
"I hope the BSI International Expo 2025 will serve as a turning point towards an Indonesia that is not merely a market, but also a leader in the global halal ecosystem," he said at the Opening Ceremony of the BSI International Expo 2025 in Jakarta on Thursday.
He considered the event highly significant as it brings together all stakeholders in the halal industry, including regulators, consumers and micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) operators.
The participation of representatives from various sectors is expected to further develop a sustainable halal ecosystem in Indonesia.
Rosan expressed his hope that Indonesia could play an active role in the industry at both regional and global levels.
According to the Global Islamic Economy Indicator (GIEI), Indonesia currently ranks third behind Malaysia and Saudi Arabia in terms of halal industry development.
This, he said, represents a shared task to enhance the role of the halal economy domestically and deliver positive contributions to Indonesian society.
"One of our shared homework assignments is how we can elevate the role of the halal economy in Indonesia — not as a supplement, but as a primary objective," Rosan said.
Continuous collaboration is therefore needed, as BSI has demonstrated by leveraging the respective roles of all stakeholders.
During the event, the BKPM chief also expressed appreciation for several BSI innovations, including the Gold Bank/Bullion Bank and BSI Scholarship programmes.
"These are also very positive developments and will certainly continue to be expanded going forward," he said.
