Reflecting on the past year, navigating the challenges and triumphs of the CCS landscape in Indonesia, the importance of collaboration versus going it alone has never been clearer to me. In life, we often face the choice between tackling obstacles solo or embracing the power of teamwork and partnerships. Looking back at our progress in CCS development, from establishing Presidential Regulations to spearheading the CCS Center and leading the IICCS forum, it's evident that our achievements were made possible through synergized partnerships. Here are some insights on the benefits and strategies for fostering effective partnerships: 1. Building Connections and Trust: Initiating partnerships starts with establishing genuine connections and fostering trust. Shared challenges and mutual support are vital in gaining trust among partners. In challenging times, trust becomes the foundation that keeps partnerships resilient. 2. Taking Action: It's not just about talking the talk but walking the walk. Consistent action and delivering on commitments are crucial for maintaining strong partnerships. Demonstrating reliability and competence ensure that partners stay engaged and committed to the shared goals. 3. Enjoying the Journey: Amidst the complexities of partnership, it's essential to find joy in the process. Cultivating genuine relationships and injecting fun into collaborations can make the journey more enjoyable and memorable. Keeping the partnership authentic and enjoyable fosters long-term success and sustainability. As we continue to navigate the CCS landscape and tackle future challenges, let's remember the power of collaboration and the value it brings to achieving our shared objectives. Together, we can drive meaningful change and create a sustainable future for Indonesia and beyond.

Such a great fun participating in the ASEAN Investment Challenge of which organised by CGS-CIMB Securities Malaysia, and gain a transformative experience in sustainable investing. With the theme ‘Level Up Your Game’, this initiative is meant to promote learning and development among students from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore as well as Thailand in responsible investing. From its inauguration on 1st July 2023, the contest has received nearly 2800 registrations of students from higher education institutes in MIST markets. The journey was enlightening, featuring two phases: a national competition, where we broadened our horizons by conducting classroom and experiential activities on responsible investing into the real world scenario. I am honored to be among the 1,519 students from Malaysia that took part in this initiative. The national challenge, which was launched from the 7th of August2023 to the 30th September 2023, not only provided valuable insights into environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-related securities but also equipped us with the skills to make informed investment decisions. This initiative by CGS-CIMB aims to empower the youth with skills and knowledge in investment for a successful career that will ultimately result to a strong capital market in Malaysia. Happy about the support of partners and looking forward to using this knowledge for brighter financial days ahead! #ASEANInvestmentChallenge #FinancialLiteracy #SustainableInvesting #CGSCIMB #LevelUpYourGame
