(ENGLISH) After the 1998 Reformation, the Province of Riau was divided into two distinct administrative parts: the Province of Riau Islands, and the Province of Riau. Pekanbaru is the capital of the Province of Riau, having the Minangkabauans, Malays, and Chinese as the majority ethnic groups. During the era of regional autonomy, the region became one of the richest provinces in Indonesia, as it is the biggest crude oil producer in Indonesia. This has turned Pekanbaru into the largest business and services developments region on Sumatra today. One of the dreams of the city leaders is to turn Pekanbaru into a 'City of a Million Shop-Houses'. The city is also a transit area for job-seekers before they go to Malaysia and Singapore. Besides, with the growth of the manufacture and plantation industries, the existence of immigrants from Java and other parts of Sumatra has made the city, lying as it is on the equator, a multiethnic city.

(BAHASA-INDONESIA) Setelah reformasi 1998 Provinsi Riau berubah menjadi dua wilayah yaitu Provinsi Kepulauan Riau dan Provinsi Riau. Pekanbaru adalah ibu kota Provinsi Riau dengan etnis mayoritas adalah Minang, Melayu, dan Cina. Pada era otonomi daerah, wilayah ini berubah menjadi salah satu provinsi terkaya di Indonesia karena Riau adalah penghasil minyak mentah terbesar di Indonesia, menjadikan Pekanbaru sebagai kawasan pengembangan bisnis dan jasa terbesar di Sumatra saat ini. Salah satu cita-cita pemimpin kota ini adalah menjadikan Pekanbaru menjadi Kota Sejuta Ruko (rumah toko). Kota ini juga menjadi wilayah transit ke Malaysia dan Singapura bagi para pencari kerja. Selain itu dengan berkembangnya industri manufaktur dan perkebunan, keberadaan para pendatang dari Pulau Jawa dan beberapa daerah Sumatra menyebabkan kota di garis Khatulistiwa ini menjadi kota multietnis.
