PT Pegadaian Strengthens Position as Engine of National Economic Growth
Marking a historic milestone for the national economy, Indonesia’s Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs held a commemoration of the one-year activities of the Bullion Indonesia business unit on Monday, 9 March 2026.
The event, themed “Consolidating the First Year, Strengthening the Next Phase,” served as a momentum to strengthen the gold ecosystem as a liquid financial instrument in Indonesia.
As a primary stakeholder, PT Pegadaian presented itself as the driving force behind the transformation of gold commodities into dynamic financial assets. Over the past year, Pegadaian has successfully integrated Gold Savings and Gold Instalment services into the Bullion Bank infrastructure, or Gold Banking Services, which is safer, more modern, and nationally integrated.
Airlangga Hartarto, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, expressed special appreciation to PT Pegadaian and other bullion operators for successfully developing an integrated gold investment ecosystem. According to him, the strategic steps taken by Pegadaian have made a tangible contribution to national economic stability.
“Pegadaian’s actions over the past year have shown positive effects on strengthening our economic structure. With mature infrastructure and accurate strategy, Pegadaian has made gold a pillar of financial strength for the public,” he said.
Damar Latri Setiawan, Director of PT Pegadaian, affirmed that this year’s achievements form the foundation for larger expansion. He continued that Pegadaian is committed to continuing to fulfil the government’s mandate in optimising Indonesia’s gold potential.
“Currently, Pegadaian has the most comprehensive Gold Banking Services product range, so we will continue to strive for improvements and even development that is hoped to have a positive impact on society,” said Damar.
During the event, the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs also presented the Bullion Business Unit’s roadmap for the coming year. This roadmap is designed to integrate the entire gold economy supply chain in Indonesia, from upstream to downstream, to create maximum value addition for the nation.
With full government support, PT Pegadaian is optimistic that Indonesia’s bullion business will soon reach the next level. This integration is hoped to not only strengthen the national financial sector, but also become a main pillar in supporting a broader creative economy and financial inclusion.
Through synergy among stakeholders, this bullion ecosystem is projected to become a new standard in managing the nation’s strategic assets, ensuring Indonesia possesses strong competitiveness in the global gold market.
