At JIF Summit 2026, Pavilion 3: Capital That Connects explored how financing instruments, guarantees and partnerships can support projects and bring greater certainty to Jakarta's future development.
Sessions in this pavilion were:
The Investalk session brought together PT PII and BPJS Ketenagakerjaan to discuss how government guarantee instruments relate to the criteria used by investors.
PT PII explained its role as a Special Mission Vehicle and how government guarantees work as a de-risking instrument to improve bankability. Support can include Project Development Facility, Viability Gap Fund, Availability Payment, Sovereign Guarantee and Land Fund, selected based on project stage and character.
BPJS Ketenagakerjaan shared the view of a long term institutional investor. Investment placement follows stages from preliminary review to Board approval, with attention to exit strategy, hurdle rate, clean legal position and audited financials.
The discussion noted that guarantees help manage certain government-related risks, while projects must still meet commercial, legal and financial requirements.
The Art of Alternative Investing session looked at investment options beyond traditional assets. BRI Manajemen Investasi shared why these options matter for long term city development.
The session covered how alternative investment can offer diversification and open additional funding routes outside the state budget and conventional bank loans, using collective structures regulated by OJK to gather funds from institutional and public investors.
For Jakarta, the point was practical: with the right structure, long term projects can attract wider participation while giving investors access to real sector opportunities.
The Local Currency Transaction (LCT) session introduced a way to settle cross border trade and investment in local currencies. Speakers from Bank Indonesia KPw Jakarta explained the mechanism and its benefits.
Bank Indonesia outlined benefits such as currency diversification, transaction cost efficiency, wider market participation and reduced reliance on hard currencies. Customers in Indonesia transact in the partner currency through an ACCD bank, with settlement completed between ACCD banks.
The session also noted supporting features such as Sub-SNA accounts, local currency financing and QRIS Cross Border connectivity. LCT transactions reached around USD42 billion up to June 2026, with China, Japan and Malaysia among the main partners.
Film infrastructure took the spotlight in the Building the Stage fireside chat. Jakarta Film Commission outlined the direction toward Jakarta as a Cinema City and what investors need to know.
Jakarta Film Commission, a business unit under Jakarta Experience Board formed in 2026, shared the direction toward Jakarta as a Cinema City across production, distribution, and screening. Five pillars were presented: One Stop Film Service, Production Support and Incentive, Publication and Promotion, Talent Development and Public Literacy.
The discussion pointed to the need for a proper film studio, clear permitting costs and processes, wider screening access including Jaksinema, and talent support. The Jakarta Film Commission noted that investable assets are still being mapped, so values and returns are not yet projected.
Capital Market 101 with IDX covered the basics of investing and going public.
IDX shared updates on market developments, including growth into a multi-asset class exchange covering shares, bonds, non-share products and carbon trading, and the growing role of domestic retail investors.
IDX outlined funding alternatives through the capital market, from bank loans and bonds or sukuk to share issuance through a public offering. Going public was presented as a way to expand funding sources, strengthen governance and company image, open partnership opportunities, and provide liquidity for owners, investors and employees. The session also covered the IPO stages from document preparation and evaluation to book building, IPO and listing, and what company readiness covers from business and financial aspects to legal and governance aspects.
These points show how the capital market can give companies another route to fund growth while giving investors wider participation options.
