JAKARTA - Minister of Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI), Abdul Kadir Karding said that remittance is one of the important instruments in driving the national economy.
The permit is a remittance that was made by Indonesian migrant workers to their hometowns, the remittance figure has reached Rp253.3 trillion at the end of last year and made foreign exchange contributors to the two countries after the oil and gas sector.
The permittance has entered many areas of the pockets of migrant workers. For example, said the Minister of Karding, Bumi Daya Village in Lampung, where 250 residents of migrant workers in Taiwan ship around Rp. 500 million per month.
"The incoming regime is managed by the village. Therefore, if we can send it from the village base and we manage it well, God willing, it will be good," said Karding, quoted on Saturday, June 21.
According to Karding, if the Ministry of Protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers (KemenP2MI) can send 425 thousand migrant workers within one year, it could have an impact on 0.56 percent of national economic growth.
"With the assumption that every 800 thousand growth, the absorption of the workforce is 1 percent," he said.

However, Karding ensured that the increase in Indonesian migrant workers departing to pursue an increase in remittance had gone through optimal governance, by first going through training procedures and skill improvement.
"We take the good things and it's simple. We just make sure we don't go non-procedurally. We train skills and skills, language," he said.
In addition, Karding said that in order to pursue the increase in the number of remittances, the governance system for the protection of Indonesian migrant workers will also continue to be maximized. In the near future, he said, Migrant Centers will soon be built which will become information centers, education, and training for people interested in becoming migrant workers.
"If we can build this, this will help our area. But if we don't build this, we let this be non-procedural (illegal), so pity our family, our country. The key is simple, the important thing is not to be non-procedural," said Karding.
