Dato Sri Tahir, Chief Commissioner of Mayapada Group:
The best opportunities are still in Indonesia
The banking business is in a flux as a result of the war of interest rates among banks. But the owner of the Mayapada Group, Dato Sri Tahir, is optimistic that the banking sector in Indonesia will continue to grow. "Growth depends on situations and conditions," Tahir told Tempo, two weeks ago. Having travelled all over the world, Tahir concluded that the best investment opportunities are still found in Indonesia.
He believes that investment opportunities in Indonesia are still better and that includes the business prospects of his Mayapada Group. He told Tempo reporter Christine Munthe in an interview that he would never sell Mayapada for whatever price. Excerpts:
