ASEAN Growth Begins Here
Indonesia, ASEAN’s largest economy and most populous nation, is home to one of the most dynamic, high-growth markets in the world with GDP of around 5%, abundant natural resources, a large consumer base, and fast-growing digital economy.
The nation offers a scale and depth that few markets can match with its large and youthful population of around 270 million, rapid urbanization, and rich national resources. Its expanding middle class of more than 52 million people is a key driver of domestic demand and economic growth.
Following the success of the Investment & Trade Forum 2025, Bangkok Bank and Permata Bank are hosting this year’s Forum under the theme: ‘Driving Growth and Creating Opportunities: Unlocking Thailand & Indonesia Trade Corridor’. This will bring together senior executives from around 500 Thai companies and investors to hear about opportunities in Indonesia and perspectives from thought leaders including high-level representatives from Indonesia’s and Thailand’s diplomatic and business communities.

“For Thai companies looking for growth outside of their home market, Indonesia offers abundant investment and long-term growth opportunities. Trade and investment between our two countries have been growing strongly over the past few years and Bangkok Bank and Permata Bank are joining together to host this Forum and support Thai investors with local insights, trusted partnerships, and regional connectivity.”
President of Bangkok Bank
