Making Investments Easier, President Jokowi Reminds The Ministry Of Energy And Mineral Resources To Simplify Regulations

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo reminded the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) to always simplify regulations to facilitate the entry of investment.

This was conveyed by Joko Widodo while attending the Peak Night of the 79th Anniversary of Mining and Energy in Jakarta, Thursday, October 10 evening.

"It is related to regulations. This is also careful. Everything related to taking a long time, circling from table 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, must start to be simplified so that investment comes to our country," said the President, quoted from Antara.

With the entry of investment in the ESDM sector, job opportunities will be open and exploration will increase, as well as increase oil and gas lifting.

On the other hand, without simplification of permits and regulations, Indonesia will find it difficult to compete and compete with other countries.

"Because once again I say, in the future a fast country will beat a slow country. Not a big country beating a small country. Not a rich country beating a developing country. But a country that will quickly beat a slow country," he said.
