The Chairperson of the 2022 PAB XVIII Organizer, Aninditha Anestya Bakrie conveyed that PAB 2022 will be more special because it presents five award categories. The existence of this award is to commemorate the 77th Indonesian Independence Day and also commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Bakrie Business Group.
