One year of Indonesia's bullion ecosystem: Pegadaian strengthens position as driver of national economy
Jakarta – Commemorating a historic milestone in the national economy, Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs held a commemoration of the first anniversary of the Bullion Indonesia business unit alongside the launching of the Indonesia Bullion Ecosystem Roadmap.
The event, themed “Consolidating the First Year, Strengthening the Next Phase,” served as a momentum for strengthening the gold ecosystem as a liquid financial instrument in Indonesia.
As a key stakeholder, PT Pegadaian presented itself as the driving force in transforming gold commodities into dynamic financial assets. Over the past year, Pegadaian has successfully integrated its Gold Savings and Instalment Gold services into the Bullion Bank infrastructure (Gold Banking Service) that is safer, more modern, and nationally integrated.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto extended special appreciation to Pegadaian and other bullion industry players for successfully revitalising an integrated gold investment ecosystem. According to him, the strategic steps taken by Pegadaian have made tangible contributions to national economic stability.
“Pegadaian’s efforts over the past year have demonstrated positive impacts on strengthening our economic structure. With mature infrastructure and accurate strategy, Pegadaian has been able to make gold a pillar of financial strength for society,” said Airlangga.
Meanwhile, PT Pegadaian Director Damar Latri Setiawan affirmed that this year’s achievement represents a foundation for larger expansion.
“Pegadaian is committed to continuing to fulfil the government mandate in optimising national gold potential. Currently Pegadaian has the most comprehensive Gold Banking Service offerings, and we will continue to endeavour to enhance and develop them in hopes of bringing benefits to society,” stated Damar.
At the event, the Coordinating Minister also delivered the Bullion Business Unit roadmap for the coming year. This roadmap is designed to integrate Indonesia’s entire gold economy supply chain, from upstream to downstream, to create maximum added value for the nation.
With full government backing, Pegadaian is optimistic that Indonesia’s bullion business will soon reach the next level. This integration is expected not only to strengthen the national financial sector but also to become a cornerstone in supporting the creative economy and broader financial inclusion.
Through synergy among stakeholders, the bullion ecosystem is projected to become a new standard in managing the nation’s strategic assets, ensuring Indonesia has strong competitiveness in the global gold market.
