    Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta, Indonesia

    Predicting the future is never easy. However, Singcham members who attended a joint event titled “H2 Global Market Outlook” with Standard Chartered Bank on July 24th received some valuable insights on how financial markets may behave in the second half of the year.

    Mr Fook Hien Yap, Senior Investment Strategist for Standard Chartered Bank shared his views on possible market trends, focusing on equity and bonds markets. His presentation provided participants with investment ideas and how they should structure their portfolios.

    We were also honoured to have Professor Dewi Fortuna Anwar, Chairperson of the Board of Directors at the The Habibie Center grace the event and provide participants with insights on the socio-political landscape following the recent presidential elections. While the new administration under President-elect Prabowo Subianto will mean some new policy directions for the country, she felt that the incoming administration will also provide continuity and forge a large tent coalition with other political parties.

    During the panel discussion, moderated by Singapore Chamber of Commerce Indonesia Chairman Shoeb Kagda, participants were given the opportunity to ask a range of questions including Indonesia’s position vis-a-vis the ongoing US-China economic competition; possible movements in the US equity market based on the upcoming presidential elections; and the future of the US dollar against other currencies.

    SingCham would like to thank Mr Kuang Yuan LER,  Executive Director, International Banking at Standard Chartered Bank for his partnership and support in hosting the joint event.

    Several weeks ago, Indonesia altered its regulations regarding the use of social media platforms for selling goods. Sellers are still allowed to promote their products during live sessions, but viewers can no longer purchase them directly unlike before. However, business owners don’t have to worry, the use of influencers nowadays can soothe these problems. More info here: https://lnkd.in/guwdFEzx.

    This topic fell perfectly in line with our very first event, part of the ‘Kopitiam Conversations’ series organised by Singapore Chamber of Commerce Indonesia.

    Moderated by Shoeb Kagda, Chairperson, SCCI, the event focused around ‘Being a Digital Influencer’ and had on the panel, two leading Indonesian digital influencers, Tommy Surya Teja and Reynaldi Francois. It was engaging to see both speakers sharing about their journey and thanks to a very interactive audience that ensured the questions kept coming! There couldn’t have been a better timing for this topic in Indonesia!

    Furthermore, everyone had the chance to network and develop a deeper understanding regarding the latest developments in the Indonesian digital market and interact with Singaporean firms with presence in Indonesia.

    A very big thanks to all who joined, your questions and active involvement made the session lively. Stay tuned for more events from Singapore Chamber of Commerce Indonesia!
