Regarding The Vice Presidential Candidate, Hary Tanoe Puji Airlangga: Mumpuni In The Economic Sector

Chairman of Perindo Hary Tanoesoedibjo assessed that Golkar Party Chairman Airlangga Hartarto has extensive expertise in the economic sector.

This was conveyed by Hary Tanoe calculating the opportunity for Airlangga to run as a vice presidential candidate in the upcoming 2024 election.

"It's good if my comment is that he is indeed an economist," said Hary when visiting the Golkar Party DPP in Slipi, Jakarta, Monday, April 10.

Hary admitted that he had exchanged ideas several times with Airlangga discussing the national economy. From there, the media entrepreneur emphasized that President Joko Widodo was not wrong in choosing Airlangga as the Coordinating Minister for the Economy.

"I have a lot of discussions with him regarding the economy, the insight is very broad and indeed he is very capable in the economic field. And he is not wrong as the current Coordinating Minister for the Economy," said Hary.

On that occasion, Hary-Airlangga discussed the idea of forming a major coalition of the coalition of the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) and the Greater Indonesia Awakening Coalition (KIR).

According to Airlangga, the idea of a large coalition should be considered considering the uncertainty of global conditions, especially the economic and health sectors in the future.

"A large coalition is important, the Indonesian coalition is important. Because Indonesia is a big country and a big coalition is needed so that we can break through existing challenges, namely uncertainty both globally and related to the weather," said Airlangga.
