PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BNI) is actively aiding Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in their expansion into global markets through its BNI Xpora initiative, aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of domestic MSMEs worldwide. Launched in August 2021, BNI Xpora serves as a comprehensive solution hub for Indonesian MSMEs seeking to export their products globally, offering capacity building, quality enhancement, financial reporting, and product marketing expansion services, including business match-making with international buyers. One notable success story is CV. KAYTAMA, a trading company from Banjarnegara, Ciamis, West Java, which received a Rp.150 million loan from BNI Xpora in 2014. Under the guidance of Yudi Eko Santosa since 2021, CV Kaytama has significantly expanded its market reach by leveraging BNI Xpora's support, connecting with over 35 clients in 17 countries across the globe.
CV Kaytama's evolution into an international trading company, supplying processed wood products to various countries, is attributed to BNI's robust domestic and international services. Yudi, acknowledging BNI's pivotal role, expresses gratitude for the ongoing collaboration and support, highlighted by a recent IDR 1.5 billion loan injection from BNI. BNI Xpora, as part of BNI's innovative initiatives, utilizes the bank's extensive international network, including branches in key global trade centers like the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul, and New York, along with sub-branches in Osaka, to effectively support MSMEs in accessing global markets. Yoli Rinadi, Branch Service Manager of BNI Banjar Branch, underscores BNI Xpora's significance in facilitating MSMEs' global market access, emphasizing BNI's commitment to empowering MSMEs through innovative solutions and extensive international presence. In conclusion, BNI's steadfast support through initiatives like BNI Xpora plays a crucial role in empowering Indonesian MSMEs to thrive in the global market, fostering growth, and facilitating international trade opportunities for local businesses.
