Indonesia

They've had injunctions against two of the big virtual private network, you know, the likes of NordVPN and so on.

Um, which means that now you, you cannot, uh, you cannot access, uh, La Liga matches in Spain, for example, via an account that was pretending to be in Indonesia, where perhaps you could get a subscription-

Oh

... from a local TV channel at a fraction-

Thank you for joining us now.

Uh, Grab already has its own BNPL product and holds a, a digital banking license in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia through its joint venture entities.

What will Atome give Grab that it doesn't already have?

Good morning, folks.

He founded the Council on New Guinea Affairs, believing that the independence of that territory would have profound consequences for Australia's future strategic interests.

Peter travelled extensively throughout Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, including down the Sepik River in a dugout canoe, and by foot along much of the Indonesia PNG border.

He visited Indonesia over 60 times, being banned from entry on one occasion for reporting on preparations for the invasion of East Timor in 1975.

By example, Peter talked the importance of curiosity, the need to get out and see the world as it is, to report fearlessly, and as an Australian, to evaluate everything in terms of what it meant for Australia.

It's a great shame that the Lowy Award did not exist in Peter's time, as I firmly believe he would have been a worthy and proud recipient.

So I completely agree, Andy Nomad, and that is why unfortunately we will see several of these, as we also saw later in Colombia, in Thailand, etc., etc.

Well, Indonesia, forgive me, which was a complete disaster.

It was one of the worst that were seen.

Well, let's continue, I leave it here, and thank you from the bottom of my heart to Andinomade for always supporting me, brother, I love you! And here, Coralín Coralín is there controlling the chat, and I wanted to close before to put another chat here.

A new report from Traction finds that the region's data centre companies have raised roughly US$11.5 billion in equity funding since 2020, with nearly 85% of that arriving since the start of 2024 as AI demand reshaped infrastructure needs.

Yeah, just five companies account for almost all of that funding and all five are headquartered in Singapore, even as the actual data centres are being built across Malaysia, Indonesia and also Thailand.

With Soren Fund's pension capital and infrastructure investors now treating data centres as core infrastructure assets.

What does this tell us about how the region's digital infrastructure market is really structured?

Neha, why might sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and infrastructure investors be particularly interested in data center assets given their rise recently?

So that's correct.

So if you look at the investors across these platforms, it includes names like Indonesia Investment Authority, Ontario Teachers Pension Fund, PE players like KKR, Warburg, Stone Peak, etc., which are not your typical investors.

usual vc investors right so in terms of the risk profile these investors are seeing uh data center investments not like your high risk vc tech investments but more closer to a bond like stable investments right so going slightly earlier in the investment cycle so these investors have also uh you know not waited for the finished data centers they are also now taking construction risk So this is little lesser riskier than your typical tech investments.
