Airlangga explained that this value is an estimated calculation in the entire agenda of the meeting which will take place throughout 2022.

"For (spending) direct expenditure is not less than IDR 1.7 trillion," he explained.

Not only economic benefits in terms of economic valuation, he also revealed that the Group of 20 event in Indonesia is helping the government in accelerating the absorption of the workforce.

"Direct workers involved along with MSMEs can reach 33,000," he said.
