Indonesia’s Bukalapak reverses loss as net profit soars over 400% in 9M

Its income stood at IDR3.61t over the said period.

Indonesia’s PT Bukalapak reported its net profit grew by 421% to IDR3.618t in the first nine months of the year, up from a net loss of IDR1.128t.

Over the same period in 2021, PT Bukalapak also noted that its operating income stood at IDR3.533t, representing a 391% growth from an operating loss of IDR1.216t.
