Jenggik Utara – Mataram, 25 May 2019 --- Ramadan 1440 Hijri or May - June 2019 which promises the blessing was used by BNI as a momentum to share with around 5,000 Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) and their families by holding a nine-basic food bazaar (Sembako) in the PMIs area of origin. The bazaar was also a form of appreciation for PMI and their families who always entrust remittance transactions to BNI.

Eko conveyed, through this Ramadan moment, BNI expects PMIs and their families are able to continue on trusting their banking needs and remittance services to BNI, either currently and in the future.

"The achievement of BNI's remittances so far cannot be separated from the support and trust of the Indonesian people, specifically the Workers and their families," he said.

The low-cost basic food packages are only sold at Rp. 17,000 or a discount of Rp. 73,000 from the actual price of Rp. 90,000. The package contains rice, oil, sugar, syrup, canned milk, coffee, instant noodles, and tea.
