7 Largest Companies from G20 Countries

In a world dominated by trillion-dollar tech empires and energy giants, Indonesia’s Bank Central Asia (BCA) has quietly carved its name into the global elite. Ranked among the 7 largest companies from G20 nations as of December 2024, BCA is now rubbing shoulders with corporate juggernauts like Apple, Saudi Aramco, Tencent, and Toyota.

Valued at $71 billion, BCA might not seem as massive as Apple’s towering $3.62 trillion, but its presence on this list is no small feat. It's the only Southeast Asian company to make the cut—putting Indonesia on the map not as an emerging player, but as a serious economic contender in the G20 arena.

Why BCA? Why Now?

BCA’s rise isn’t accidental. Its strong domestic consumer base, pioneering digital banking services, and consistent profitability have fueled its growth in recent years. While banks in other countries struggled through economic turbulence, BCA stayed solid—quietly growing into one of the most trusted and tech-savvy financial institutions in the region.

This achievement is not just about valuation. It’s about trust, innovation, and scalability in a region often overlooked in global corporate rankings. Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country, is beginning to flex its economic muscle—and BCA is leading the charge.

Southeast Asia’s Seat at the Table

Apple, Aramco, Tencent, LVMH, Samsung, and Toyota may dominate headlines, but BCA’s inclusion tells a different story. It’s a sign of shifting tides, where Southeast Asian corporations are no longer just local champions, but global players with growing influence.

For young Southeast Asians, this is more than just a corporate milestone—it’s a symbol of what’s possible. A reminder that innovation doesn’t always wear Silicon Valley sneakers or ride Middle Eastern oil booms. Sometimes, it sits quietly behind a teller’s desk in Jakarta, turning savings into scale.

And now, the world is paying attention.
