JAKARTA -- Indonesian mobile tech giant Gojek has invested in state-owned payments company LinkAja, both companies announced on Tuesday, a move aimed at further expanding the digital ecosystem in a country where consumption habits have greatly changed due to coronavirus.

Gojek's investment follows one in LinkAja by its Singapore-based competitor Grab in November, making the platform a rare company into which both bitter rivals have invested.
