JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate (Capres) Ganjar Pranowo revealed, there are two ways that can be done to bring Indonesia away from the middle-income country or middle-income trap if it is elected president in the 2024 presidential election.

Furthermore, Ganjar said, Indonesia can take advantage of demographic bonuses as well as human resource productivity (HR).

Maka ada dua hal pertama menyiapkan SDM-nya dari kesehatan dan pendidikan aksesnya harus mudah, katanya di Hotel Mandarin Orental, Jakarta, Selasa, 24 Oktober.

Second, said Ganjar, Indonesia can also optimize economic potential within the next 10 to 13 years.

He admitted that he had prepared a team to do this.

"Second, so that we don't get trapped in the middle income trap, optimize the economic potential with a time of approximately 10-13 years, then we must gas the pol, must be fast. We can't sequence nuts and slowly. So we prepare all our strength, so my team is preparing all the work of the technocratics," he explained.

"If the language is Jokowi at that time, if it has been inaugurated, just gaspol, just execute it immediately," he continued.

On this occasion, the former Governor of Central Java also highlighted the food sector. He said, the food sector must be sovereign and have durability.

This includes the energy transition and the ease of access to health and education.

"These three are interlocutors between education and health whose access must be together. If that was the case, our budget should not be like this, it must be optimal. And I believe many of us are able to do that," he said.
