He went on to say that the Jakarta BUMD CFO Forum is a forum that provides interaction and communication for Jakarta BUMD Finance Directors regarding business collaboration and in a bid to support various Jakarta Government programs.

"Hopefully, the Jakarta CFO BUMD Forum can play a role in providing strategic input to improve the performance of the Jakarta Government's BUMDs through digital collaboration, institutional relationships, as well as improving Environment, Social and Governance programs between BUMDs," he hoped.

Bank DKI Secretary, Arie Rinaldi explained the Jakarta BUMD CFO Kick Off and Workshop provided benefits for the big plan to make Jakarta a global city.

"With Jakarta BUMD CFO Forum, hopefully, the good communication will be built through sharing sessions, knowledge transfer and solutions will emerge as Jakarta prepares to become a global city," he hoped.

Previously, Jakarta BUMD's Guidance Agency Head, Nasruddin Djoko Surjono hoped that BUMDs that are members of the Jakarta BUMD CFO Forum would continuously improve their performance in a healthy, good and sustainable manner and could become flagship companies in their respective business fields.

Jakarta BUMD CFO Forum was expected to be an orchestration of BUMD's potential in providing benefits to Jakartans.
