Maybank Indonesia Attracts Middle Eastern Investors to Develop Major Projects in Indonesia

JAKARTA - PT Bank Maybank Indonesia Tbk, through its global banking network, will bring in investors from the Middle East region to develop several projects in Indonesia.

Romy H. Buchari, Director of the Sharia Business Unit (UUS) at Maybank Indonesia, stated that as part of the Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank) group, the company has connectivity with an international banking network.

This provides an advantage in attracting foreign investors to enter the country.

“Our Global Banking team, our corporate team, is bringing in investors based in the Middle East to carry out new projects here. So it’s already underway. And we’re talking about major projects,” he said during the launch of Amanah Pro in Jakarta on Wednesday (6/5/2026).

Romy stated that this is part of the company’s strategy to strengthen its role as a bridge for global investment while also promoting the growth of the national Sharia economy.

“We want to be the engine or main driver for Indonesia’s economy. Not just a niche market,” he said.

However, it is hoped that these foreign investors can be partnered with to work on digital-based Sharia financial projects.

“I am not at liberty to mention it now, but when the time comes, we will announce it,” Romy said.

This effort also intersects with Maybank Indonesia’s strategy to strengthen its Sharia business, which is preparing to carry out the separation (spin-off) of the UUS in accordance with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) regulations.

Romy revealed that the new entity resulting from the spin-off will rely on digital strengths to compete in the increasingly competitive banking industry.

On this day, Maybank Indonesia has launched the Amanah Pro digital platform to serve the financial needs of customers during Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages.

This platform is prepared to become one of the business foundations as well as a channel to expand the Sharia ecosystem.
