JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) has prepared the business world so that it can appear global with local strength. This is an effort to support Jakarta to become a global city after releasing the status of the nation's capital city.

"We will move to the capital city of Nusantara (IKN), so we try to be able to become a global city area by preparing its entrepreneurs to appear globally with local strength," said Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Chamber of Commerce and Industry Diana Dewi quoting Antara.

According to Diana, Jakarta has many local resources that are still far behind globally. Therefore, Kadin DKI has also made a number of efforts, including providing assistance and assistance to MSMEs in DKI Jakarta, especially introducing the latest technologies.

In addition, Kadin DKI is also seeking a number of business certifications for members, especially halal certification which will be required for all business levels in 2025.

"With business certification, our business quality is more trusted," said Diana.

Kadin DKI also conducts business matching between domestic and foreign business actors (B to B business matching) to explore opportunities.

It is known that the Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian hopes that the Special Region of Jakarta will become the center of the economy, such as the City of New York in the United States or the City of Sydney and Melbourne in Australia.

"We also want the City of Jakarta to become one of the main centers in the fields of economy, services, banking, and others. The point is roughly the same as America's New York or Sydney, Australia's Melbourne," said Tito.

The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government also expressed its readiness to make Jakarta a global city that is competitive or able to compete with similar cities in other countries after no longer holding the nation's capital.

"After we are no longer the capital city of the country, we are ready to become a global competitive city," said Assistant for the Economy and Finance of the Regional Secretary (Sekda) of DKI Jakarta Province Sri Haryati.
