Indonesia’s financial inclusion growth is targeted by Indonesian President Joko Widodo to reach a growth rate of up to 75% by the end of 2019. Entering 2019, of course, fintech industry players are increasingly demanded to help the government in realizing these ideals. The Fintech Indonesia Association as a gathering place for all companies engaged in the fintech industry held a discussion entitled “Financial Inclusion to Accelerate Development in Indonesia” on Tuesday, January 29, 2019 at 14.00 – 16.30 WIB. The event, which was held at UnionSPACE Satrio Tower Building 16th Floor, South Jakarta, was attended by more than 100 attendees consisting of AFTECH members, the media and the general public.
