JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto targets the total transactions at the 40th Trade Expo Indonesia to reach 25 billion US dollars or equivalent to Rp407.52 trillion.
"Well, of course, if it usually goes up 10 percent, this time it may be above 25 billion US dollars, yes," he said at the opening of the 40th Trade Expo, at the Ministry of Trade, Jakarta, Thursday, February 20.
He is also optimistic that this year's Trade Expo can increase foreign exchange and encourage economic growth targets to reach 8 percent.
Karena kalau semakin meningkat maka ekonomi kita semangat, karena pak presidennya pertumbuhan menuju 8 persen. Jadi di tengah ketidakpastian, kalau engine export kita bisa merapat, nah ini devisa kita bisa besar, katanya.
According to Airlangga, Indonesian products have high competitiveness. In addition, manufacturers and manufacturing sectors are optimistic about business conditions in Indonesia.
Furthermore, Airlangga said this was reflected in the Indonesian Purchasing Managers' Index which rose to 51.9.
"Thank God, our exports have been in surplus for 57 months. We also recorded a surplus of 31.04 billion US dollars in 2024. This performance is a positive trend and shows that our products have high competitiveness," said Airlangga.
