JAKARTA - Deputy Director of the Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (Indef) Eko Listiyanto, assessed that Indonesia could take advantage of conditions for domestic economic resilience to attract investors. Although previously many investors complained about the difficulty of licensing in the country. "Indeed, there are many investor complaints not nationally, but when managing permits in the regions. Actually, if it attracts investors' hearts or makes them interested in continuing to invest funds in Indonesia. Yes, we must be 'not good' how to make aspects of the minimum risk of recession for Indonesia a sale," said Eko, Thursday, December 1. Eko revealed, various macro indicators show the resilience of Indonesia's economic conditions. In fact, he said, international institutions also predict that the Indonesian economy will still be able to grow next year with inflation rates still at a moderate level.
In fact, many major countries are experiencing economic turmoil, such as Britain, the United States, the European Union, and China. "It's just been processed into a positive language to attract investors. Since if they wait for Europe to recover, the situation may be highly dependent on Russia-Ukrain, and may be somewhat longer," he said. In addition, continued Eko, Indonesia should also be able to take advantage of geopolitical conditions to attract foreign investors. He mentioned that several countries that are relatively dominant in investing in China are looking for new investment destinations to mitigate investment trends in the bamboo curtain country. "Several investors are worried about the large dependence on China in the context of investment. There have been several political steps in China, recently, which are somewhat relatively opposed to what is being desired by globally," explained Eko. He also reminded South Korea as an investor country that is worried about the sustainability of investment in China. "This is a problem for South Korean investors when they have to export to America. Because they make factories in China. There are long-term concerns about South Korean investors if they continue to spend money on China," he added.
However, Eko reminded, in the end investors who have entered Indonesia will also see the reality of the field. Therefore, Eko suggested that there be efforts to make investors feel at home in Indonesia. "Of course, being polished with relatively macro data we hold on to the crisis is good, but in the end the real conditions in the field are decisive," he concluded. Previously, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said that the economic situation next year would be increasingly difficult due to the threat of a global recession. The global economy was overshadowed by various problems, such as inflation, declining economic growth, fiscal crisis, energy and food. Therefore, Jokowi asked that no one not complicate the government's efforts in attracting investors and pursuing investment realization targets. "I don't want to hear any more that complicates, either at the center or in the regions. Both at the center, province, district, and city," said Jokowi.
