PT Jasa Armada Indonesia Tbk (IDX: IPCM) on Friday (17/11/2023) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PT Pelabuhan Indonesia Investama (PII) regarding corporate commercial and business communication. The signing of this MoU was carried out by Shanti Puruhita, Main Director of IPCM with Ikhwanoel, Main Director of PII at Pelindo Tower, Jakarta. The synergy of this collaboration further strengthens IPCM’s steps in expanding the dissemination of information regarding IPCM’s performance and business prospects as an investment option.

Currently, financial literacy among Indonesian people is increasing. People increasingly understand the importance of financial stability to survive with increasing needs and prices in the future. The 2022 National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion (SNLIK) shows that the financial literacy index of Indonesian society has increased by 49.68% from 2019 and has now reached 85.10%, this figure shows that more and more people are aware of the importance of financial stability.

On the other hand, the widespread presence of online loans (Pinjol) also needs attention. This then initiated collaboration between IPCM and PII in presenting programs such as Financial Investment Education for internal Pelindo Group employees and also for the public.

These programs are a medium for providing awareness not only about capital market and investment literacy but also financial literacy and knowledge to be wiser in its management and use.

Shanti Puruhita, President Director of IPCM, expressed his appreciation for the financial investment education activities carried out by PII at Pelindo Group by collaborating with a number of securities. Through this kind of activity, participants can directly choose the investment instrument of their choice through the appropriate financial institution registered with the OJK.

“In addition to introducing IPCM to the public, IPCM always supports Pelindo Group’s efforts to increase financial literacy and investment provided to employees.” Shanti said.

PII Main Director, Ikhwanoel said that PII wants to further introduce IPCM and IPCC as two Pelindo Group open companies to Pelindo internals in every port area starting from Regional 1 Medan, Regional 2 Jakarta, Regional 3 Surabaya to Regional 4 Makassar.

“Apart from that, in the future we also want to expand this collaboration to universities in Indonesia so that IPCM is more widely known,” he said.
