The forum featured speakers from Deloitte, MIND ID, Pegadaian, and Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI), representing a strong cross‑section of Indonesia’s state‑owned enterprises, private sector organisations, and financial institutions. The closed‑door dialogue focused on how CFO organisations can modernise treasury management, enhance cash and risk visibility, and prepare for a more data‑driven and AI‑enabled future.
Opening the session, Benny Butarbutar, CEO of Antara, highlighted the importance of collaboration between trusted institutions and technology providers amid rapid change in the finance landscape.
“As Indonesia’s financial ecosystem continues to evolve, collaboration plays a critical role in enabling informed dialogue and meaningful progress,” said Benny. “Our partnership with FIS oCFO reflects a shared commitment to fostering thought leadership and supporting finance and treasury leaders in Indonesia as they prepare for what’s next.”
A central theme throughout the forum was the expanding strategic role of treasury management within the CFO organisation. Discussions emphasised the need for real‑time cash visibility, integrated risk management, and scalable treasury platforms capable of supporting increasingly complex and decentralised organisational structures.
Insights shared by Tania Tri Lastri, Department Head of Treasury at MIND ID, Indonesia’s state‑owned mining holding company, highlighted how treasury functions are becoming increasingly central to enterprise resilience and value creation. The discussion underscored the shift from traditional treasury operations as a cost centre toward a more strategic role that supports business‑critical decision‑making, including funding optimisation, risk mitigation, and working capital optimisation at the holding‑company level.
The forum also explored how artificial intelligence and advanced analytics are beginning to reshape finance and treasury operations. FIS demonstrated practical use cases of AI in improving forecasting accuracy, automating manual processes, detecting anomalies, and enabling treasury and finance teams to focus more on strategic analysis and decision‑making.
Ecosystem collaboration was another key focus of the event. Deloitte shared insights from its global surveys, highlighting both global and regional perspectives on treasury and finance modernisation. Luh Putu Andarini of Pegadaian shared operational challenges faced by a large multinational organisation, as well as Pegadaian’s aspirations for transforming its treasury and finance operations.
Joining the panel discussion, Martin Susanto of Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) shared practical lessons from supporting corporate clients in Indonesia through treasury transformation initiatives, offering real‑world examples of how finance leaders are adapting to evolving business and regulatory demands.
Representing FIS, Ian Chan, Vice President of Office of the CFO (oCFO) Solutions; Alyssa Chew, Head of Partnerships; and Andre Wijaya, Senior Sales Manager for the Indonesia territory, emphasised the importance of combining strong treasury foundations with intelligent, trusted, and proven technologies.
“Future‑ready finance starts with robust treasury capabilities,” said Chan. “When treasury platforms are enhanced with AI and automation, CFOs gain faster insights, stronger control, and the strategic confidence needed to respond effectively to evolving market conditions.”
The forum was held as part of a broader partnership between Antara and FIS oCFO, which aims to promote thought leadership and facilitate meaningful dialogue among senior finance and treasury leaders across Indonesia. Through joint initiatives and curated engagements, the partnership seeks to support Indonesian organisations as they navigate finance modernisation, treasury transformation, and the adoption of intelligent technologies.
