JAKARTA - Indonesia only has 13 years to be able to get out of the Middle Income Trap. This is Ganjar Pranowo's effort, the presidential candidate (readpres) to get out of the trap of the middle-income country. "About Middle Income Trap, actually today what must be done is, one we have a high demographic bonus opportunity. This is a lot of productive people," said Ganjar after attending the 11th US-Indonesia Investment Summit event organized by Amcham Indonesia and the US Chamber of Commerce in Jakarta, Tuesday 24 October. To maintain the quality of Human Resources (HR), Ganjar explained, the government needs to prepare easy access to education. In addition, it is important to be supported by health services. "So there are two things that must be done to improve its human resources. Namely health and education. Access must be easy," he explained. Second, to get out of the trap of middle-income countries is optimizing economic potential. "With less than 10 to 13 years, gaspol must be fast. We can't order beans or slowly. So we prepare all the power," he added.

Ganjar also added that these efforts must be supported by the right budget system. "If the language is Pak Jokowi, if the gaspol has been directly inaugurated and executed. And one of them is food that must be sovereign and resistant. Second, we are talking about energy transition, the third is health and education. That can be done, our budget must be increased and optimal. I am sure everything will be able," he said.
