ank Indonesia (BI) held on Thursday in Nusa Dua, Bali, an international seminar on building pathways for making policies using big data, to expand understanding on the use of big data in the digital era.
The event was organized in cooperation with the Bank for International Settlements-Irving Fisher Committee on Central Bank Statistics (BIS-IFC).
