4. SEA Perspectives- Indonesia’s tech-enabled lending market has been growing explosively driven by P2P models
Indonesia tech-enabled lending market has been growing massively, driven by below growth engines-
- Drivers from the demand side (loan taker) – Huge unaddressed credit need in the ‘missing middle’ segment
- Drivers from supply-side (loan provider) – High share of affluent/mass affluent financial assets are in deposits, most of the higher yield investment products (e.g. MF/ retail brokerage) still have marginal penetration
