CFO Insights: Innovate, Adapt, and Thrive

As Indonesia’s economy embarks on an ambitious trajectory towards 8% annual growth by 2029, the role of the Chief Financial Officer and senior finance executives has never been more critical. 

In a landscape marked by economic transformation, digital acceleration, and mounting complexity, finance leaders are called upon to drive profitable growth, foster innovation, and ensure compliance—all while navigating global uncertainties and regulatory demands.

Why Attend?

This exclusive luncheon on 17 July 2025 convenes Jakarta’s most influential CFOs and finance executives for a focused discussion on the key trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping Indonesia’s finance landscape in 2025 and beyond.

Key themes include:

• Balancing growth and profitability: With Indonesia’s GDP growth projected at 5–5.1% for 2025, CFOs must chart a course that balances revenue expansion with disciplined cost control and operational efficiency.
• Digital transformation & AI:  Only 35% of finance organizations engage in early IT planning with tech leaders to set expectations on how technology advances enterprise strategy. Now is the time for CFOs to supercharge technology as the transformative force at the core of innovation. CFOs need to advocate for tech leaders’ expertise in the boardroom by integrating evaluation, investment, and planning, forming a powerful coalition that drives strategic growth.
• Sustainability & compliance: New regulations and stakeholder expectations are elevating sustainability reporting from a compliance requirement to a strategic enabler for long-term value. Measuring impact and embedding ESG into financial strategy remain significant hurdles.
• Risk management in volatile times: Finance leaders face heightened risks from market volatility, foreign exchange fluctuations, cybersecurity threats, and evolving tax regimes. The ability to anticipate, mitigate, and respond to these risks is paramount.
• Human capital & talent: With Indonesia’s middle class shrinking and productivity lagging regional peers, attracting and retaining finance talent—especially in data science and digital skills—remains a strategic priority.

What to Expect

• Peer exchange: Network with fellow CFOs and senior finance leaders from leading Indonesian and multinational organisations.
• Expert insights: Hear from IBM thought leaders and guest speakers on the future of finance, digital innovation, and sustainable growth.
• Actionable strategies: Gain practical perspectives on leveraging technology, optimising capital, and building resilient, future-ready finance teams.
