ide-hailing service provider Grab Indonesia has dismissed rumors circulating online that it is considering leaving Indonesia following the government’s decision to cap commissions charged on app-connected on-demand motorcycle drivers, reaffirming its long-term commitment to Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
In a statement on Wednesday, Grab Indonesia CEO Neneng Goenadi stressed that reports suggesting the company was preparing to exit the country were unfounded.
“Grab affirms that rumors regarding plans to leave Indonesia are not true,” Neneng said.
She added that the company remained committed to supporting Indonesia’s digital economy and would continue aligning its business operations with government policies aimed at fostering inclusive and sustainable growth.
“Indonesia is an important ecosystem for Grab. We have been present in Indonesia for more than 10 years and remain committed to growing alongside the communities we serve,” she said.
Neneng noted that Grab currently accounted for around half of Indonesia’s ride-hailing and online delivery industry and has helped create an estimated 4.6 million economic opportunities through the digitalization of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
The company has also allocated more than Rp 100 billion (US$6.1 million) through its “Grab untuk Indonesia” program to support driver-partners, she added.
