JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir invited Indonesian migrant workers to save or invest in Bullion Bank or Gold Bank.

The invitation is part of the collaboration signed by Erick Thohir with the Minister of Protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI), Abdul Kadir Karding today, at the P2MI Ministry Office, Jakarta, Wednesday, February 19.

Erick ensured that SOEs would provide service support for Indonesian migrant workers, ranging from access to funding to saving while working abroad.

Furthermore, Erick said migrant workers can also use the Gold Bank to save. Remember, the government will launch a Golden Bank in time.

"So that migrant workers can also start saving with the gold system in the future, which for investment fluctuations is quite well maintained. This is one of the ecosystems that we offer in the future to be socialized (to Indonesian migrant workers)," said Erick at the P2MI Ministry Office, Jakarta, Wednesday, February 19.

Erick said that in terms of funding support, state-owned banks also provide people's business loans (KUR) that can be accessed to support the business of migrant workers and their families.

In addition, said Erick, the Ministry of SOEs and the Ministry of P2MI also agreed that there would be synchronization of data on Indonesian migrant workers.

According to Erick, the unification of this data will later become a reference for maximizing protection for Indonesian migrant workers.

"One of the most important things is how we unite data, unite the system, so that we can really maximize this migrant worker database into a data that can be monitored and protected in the future," he said.
