JAKARTA - The government targets the achievement of per capita income to be equivalent to developed countries of around US$23,000 to US$30,000 by 2045 and has prepared a National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN) 2025-2045 to transform towards Indonesia Emas 2045.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said that the 2025-2045 RPJPN will still focus on infrastructure development by optimizing infrastructure to be built through the development of downstream industrial areas that are connected to connectivity infrastructure, maintaining IKN continuity as a national economy superhub.
Also, the energy transition towards Net Zero Emission commitment, maintaining the consistency of central and regional development, and coordinating all development actors who not only focus on the Government, but also on the private sector and the general public.
"Indonesia's investment indicators are currently showing positive results with the Manufacturing PMI index recording consistent growth of 25 consecutive months and currently at 52.3, investment realization in the third quarter also reached Rp374 trillion, and from a banking perspective that working capital credit also grew positively," he explained in a written statement, Tuesday, October 31.
Airlangga said that some of these indicators were of course greatly influenced by the Government's policies, including for the PSN Infrastructure program and the Special Economic Zone (KEK).
In accordance with President Joko Widodo's directives since 2021, the direction of infrastructure development, especially the National Strategic Project (PSN), must prioritize non-APBN projects supported by technical Ministries/Institutions and support economic strengthening policies.
In addition, this is in line with the mandate of the 2020-2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) which identifies infrastructure investment needs of IDR 6,445 trillion, where the APBN is only able to provide IDR 2,385 trillion or 37 percent of the total budget needs.
"This means that infrastructure financing still requires other sources, such as the Cooperation scheme between the Government and Business Entity (PPP). For example, the development of Industrial Estates (KI), the acceleration of the Smelter Program, and the construction of SEZs," said Airlangga.
Based on the Regulation of the Coordinating Minister for the Economy Number 7 of 2023 there are 211 projects and 13 programs in the PSN list with an estimated total investment value of IDR 5,746.9 trillion.
Airlangga said the projects were spread across several sectors including the construction of connectivity infrastructure such as ports, toll roads, trains, and airports, increasing energy security, developing areas and downstreaming industries, and providing basic infrastructure.
The acceleration of PSN development certainly cannot be separated from the debottlenecking efforts through facilities provided by the Government, such as facilities to accelerate land acquisition and provide financing facilities.

Airlangga added that the government has also drafted regulations for non-APBN financing schemes such as Limited Concession Scheme and Land Value Capture.
Airlangga hopes that PSN can be continued and in the future can socialize all these achievements to the public, in order to get support, so that the program can be continued.
"Many other lessons learned by Indonesia must also be recorded, including the success of handling the Covid-19 pandemic and Pre-Employment Cards," Airlangga concluded.
