Heaptalk, Jakarta — PermataBank officially launched the Permata Institute for Economic Research (PIER) to provide analysis and research regarding developments in the latest market trends and economic issues in Indonesia and globally.
Initially called PermataBank Economic Research, PIER has made several changes since 2014 by developing more comprehensive information on macroeconomics and the financial industry landscape as well as expanding its credibility with the digital economy.
PIER is led by Chief Economist Josua Pardede. Together with the team of economists, PIER is expected to complement PermataBank’s products and services by providing insights and advisory to clients and customers. “The depth of the economic research we conduct and the accuracy of our projections are paramount, and we remain committed to upholding these standards for PermataBank customers and stakeholders,” stated Josua in the company’s official statement.
Access to information, analysis, and decision-making are fundamental things in an era when the economy is growing again. PermataBank strives to play an active role as a partner in the financial sector and an efficient development agent for customers and society. One of these efforts is carried out through the delivery of useful information.
Meanwhile, President Director of PermataBank Meliza M. Rusli hopes that PIER can become a partner and source of guidance for businesses. She conveyed, “PermataBank is part of Bangkok Bank. Fully supported by Bangkok Bank as PermataBank’s parent company, we hope PIER can become a partner and source of guidance for integrated access to information for your business and analytical decisions as well as adapting to the current economy.”
Further, PIER will expand its team’s expertise to include macroeconomic and industrial research. This institution wants to provide insight and information including economic and financial market prospects in Indonesia and globally, including in-depth research on regional industries and economies to meet the business needs and customer interests.
