“But also with stakeholders such as Customs and Excise, Smesco, Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Industry. This is a platform to make it easier for prospective new exporters to get clear information, we are widening this to be an efficient ecosystem for actors there and make it easier for all parties," he revealed.

In addition, BNI also embraces the diaspora to meet the needs of transaction and financing services. It is not impossible, Xpora SMEs will be connected to the diaspora, so as to create a good ecosystem. Where the role of the diaspora will be to act as a buyer for Xpora MSME products, so that they can boost exports.

Royke also said that the potential for the development of the Xpora program is very large because it covers the potential for export and diaspora businesses around the world.

"There are 8 million diaspora, of which 4 million are immigrants from Indonesia. We try to help, in the end it will go to payment and remittances," said Royke. (*)
