Abstract: The COVID-19 crisis has caused untold disruption of lives and economies. As the current patterns of globalization are being questioned, the regional level will become more necessary in dealing with cross-border problems. It is at this level that reconnecting economies, reversing the disruption of trade and transport links, and addressing transboundary risks offer more immediate benefits. The critical task of strengthening trust in concerted action may yield clearer results in the context of regional frameworks of collaboration, which should be reinforced as a critical building block for multilateralism. Effective regional actions require reaching out to multiple partners. The potential of regional collaboration to build back better and meet the promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development should be fully leveraged. Regional economic commissions can be catalysts for such actions, as they engage different actors across common goals. This study analyzes the impact of sustainable investment on economic indicators considering five main banks in Indonesia, namely PT Bank BRI (BBRI), Bank UOB Indonesia (UOYB), PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BBCA), PT Bank Negara Indonesia Tbk (BBNI), and PT Bank BJB Tbk. (BJBR). Statistical data involving economic growth, unemployment rates, greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing added value in local communities are analyzed. The results show that sustainable investment provides a significant positive impact, creating sustainable economic growth, reducing unemployment rates, improving the welfare of local communities, and reducing environmental impacts by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The broader implications emphasize the importance of integrating sustainability in economic policy to achieve inclusive and sustainable growth. This study also tries to find out the major economic differences and ways to combat it. In the Sustainable development goals there were many agendas but Post Covid it was getting difficult for the entire corporate strutchure to maintain the balance in econmomy. Everywhere there were cost cutting. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is the defining crisis of ourtime. Building back better while we exit the crisis will be the litmus test of the international community’s determination to drive forward the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Decade of Action to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Multilateral action is needed if we are to turn the challenges into an opportunity towards an inclusive, resilient and green sustainable development pathway. To bring this opportunity to fruition, regional cooperation and coordination will be essential and can spearhead global efforts towards a much-needed transition of economies and societies. Regional actions during and after the crisis can lay the basis for longer-term cooperation on issues that will likely grow more acute after the pandemic has receded as the world seeks new pathways towards achieving the 2030 Agenda.
