tate-owned pension insurance company PT Taspen plans to optimize its subsidiaries’ business to improve its growth this year.
One of the strategies was to boost expansion of its subsidiary, Taspen Properti, by building more apartments for civil servants, Taspen president director Iqbal Latanro said on Sunday.
“For example, Taspen Properti is in the process of developing a civil servant apartment complex. It also has some offices that have been rented to subsidiaries of state-owned companies,” he said as quoted by Kompas.com.
