Indonesia’s rapidly growing financial institution, PT BAT Instrumen Bank Internasional, has taken a major step toward expanding its international presence with the formal introduction of its operations in Pakistan.
The launch event, held in Islamabad, marked the beginning of a new partnership aimed at boosting bilateral investment and trade between Indonesia and Pakistan.
According to Mr. Muhammad Khalid Shamim, Director of BAT Instrumen Bank, the bank’s entry into the Pakistani market is timely and strategic.
“BAT Instrumen Bank is committed to supporting Pakistan’s financial sector at a time of pressing economic challenges. By offering structured trade finance and investment banking solutions, we aim to help stabilize and stimulate economic growth,” he said.
The ceremony brought together key figures from the financial, business, and government sectors of both nations. BAT Instrumen Bank’s expansion reflects Indonesia’s growing role as a regional financial hub and its commitment to supporting partner economies through innovation, transparency, and sustainable investment models.
