Bank Indonesia (BI) fully embraces the era of digitalization and is committed to providing and advancing digital services in the field of central banking. The bank has implemented digitalization across its various service processes, aiming to enhance efficiency and productivity.
BI’s digital services encompass a range of areas, including the management of demand deposit accounts, subregistry services, government securities administration, government promissory notes (ULN) management, and Letter of Credit (L/C) services for both the government and key stakeholders. These services are crucial in facilitating international trade and fostering economic growth amidst the ever-changing global landscape.
During the recent “National Talks” event at CBFest 2023, Deputy Governor Doni P. Joewono highlighted the significance of digitalization, particularly in the L/C process, which plays a pivotal role in international trade. By digitalizing the management of L/C, BI aims to streamline and optimize trade and financial transactions on a global scale.
As Deputy Governor Joewono emphasized, “Digitalization in the L/C management process is an essential endeavor to improve efficiency in international trade and finance.”
BI’s digital transformation is not limited to the L/C process alone. The bank has also implemented e-licensing to streamline the licensing procedures. By embracing digital platforms and technology, BI aims to simplify and expedite the licensing process, enhancing the ease of doing business in the financial sector. This integrated approach to licensing provides a one-stop solution for businesses, contributing positively to economic recovery and growth.
In addition to e-licensing, BI has introduced digitalization measures in various other aspects. The CBS application enables digital processing of L/C issuance, amendments, and cancellations. Automation has been incorporated into reporting and advisory processes for government L/C applications, ensuring greater efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, BI actively collaborates with key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Finance and the National Single Window (LNSW) institution, to digitize and streamline export-import transactions, customs procedures, and the reporting of export earnings.
BI’s commitment to digitalization extends beyond its own operations. The bank actively supports the digital transformation efforts of relevant ministries and institutions, such as the OJK, BKPM, and associated organizations. Through close collaboration and synergies, BI aims to foster an ecosystem that enables seamless digital integration and enhances the overall efficiency and effectiveness of financial services.
The digitalization initiatives undertaken by Bank Indonesia not only signify the bank’s commitment to innovation and technological advancement but also reflect its dedication to driving economic growth, facilitating international trade, and promoting a conducive business environment.
By harnessing the power of digital technologies, BI is paving the way for a more streamlined, efficient, and interconnected financial landscape in Indonesia and beyond.
