Saikyo Bank said April 21 that it has established a local subsidiary in Jakarta, Indonesia, called Saikyo Consulting Indonesia. It is the bank’s first overseas entity and will support client companies’ recruitment of Indonesian talent and their expansion into the country.
The subsidiary was set up April 17 with capital of 2.749 billion rupiah (about 25 million yen) and is wholly owned by the Saikyo Bank group.
Through the local unit, the bank plans to strengthen support for hiring in Indonesia, including highly skilled workers. It will also expand consulting aimed at developing key personnel and helping clients move overseas. A bank official told NNA the group plans to partner with three Indonesian universities by the end of September to bolster support for recruiting highly skilled talent.
The bank began consulting services in April 2024 to help companies recruit Indonesian workers and enter the market, and has served more than 30 firms so far. In Yamaguchi Prefecture, labor shortages have worsened due to a declining birthrate, an aging population and young people moving to the Tokyo area, prompting the bank to deepen ties with Indonesia, which has a large population and is expected to keep growing as a market.
