Ada Perang Dagang AS-China, RI Berpotensi Jadi Tujuan 'Bedol Factory' Negara Asing

Chairman of The Asian Trade, Tourism and Economic Council (ATTEC) as well as Chairman of the Indonesian Shopping Center Retailers and Tenants Association (Hippindo) Budihardjo Iduansjah said the trade war situation between the United States (US) and China could benefit Indonesia.

This is because investors see Indonesia's opportunity as the destination for the transfer of their production plant. Thus, Budihardjo said, there will be the potential for "demonstration of factories" from abroad to Indonesia.

"Today is the right momentum with the trade war rate between the United States and China. We in Indonesia have a very good position," said Budihardjo at the Indonesia Investment Summit: Projects for Sustainable Growth in Jakarta, Tuesday, April 15.

"This is not only a momentum for construction or financial investors, but a momentum for those who have factories in China. Welcome to Indonesia," he continued.

With this potential, Budihardjo encouraged the government to provide policies that facilitate the relocation of factories from abroad to Indonesia. It is hoped that relocation factories will be able to cooperate with small and medium-sized industries in the country.

"I think the Minister of Trade (Budi Santoso) can provide policies for the language of 'dold factories'. So, how can factories from abroad be brought to Indonesia for the production of their goods. Joint venture with our small and medium industry businesses," he said.

Moreover, President Prabowo Subianto himself has stated that he wants to simplify the requirements for fulfilling the Domestic Component Level (TKDN).

The Chairman of Hippindo hopes that the sign from the President can be realized in the form of a policy that is friendly to investors.

"This is the momentum of how it can be given flexibility, ease and support for investors who come today," explained Budihardjo.

To note, the implementation of the Indonesia Investment Summit: Projects for Sustainable Growth, Asian Trade, Tourism and Economics Council (ATTEC) together with SYNO International presents a large-scale international investment forum which is an important momentum in strengthening Indonesia's position as a leading global investment destination.

At least 100 investors from China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia were also present at the Indonesia Investment Summit.

Through the implementation of this investment forum, it is hoped that many world investors are interested in investing in Indonesia, including building factories in the country.
