JAKARTA - Minister of Trade Muhammad Lutfi gave an overview regarding the condition of Indonesia in 2045. Where, in that year, Indonesia will turn 100 years after independence and several trends will occur, one of which is urbanization and migration.
Lutfi said, in 2045 there will also be an increase in the world's population from 7.7 billion this year to 9.4 billion. This means that there will be more parents than young people.
"The first is urbanization. There will be a lot of migration of people in 2045. Second, it is said that 66 percent of the world's people will live in cities, 95 percent of urbanization will occur in developing countries", he said at an online Rakernas HIPMI 2021 event, Friday, March 5.
About urbanization and migration, said Lutfi, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) had predicted it. Therefore, the relocation of the nation's capital was carried out.
"Jakarta and Bandung will become a united city with a population of 75 million people. So when asked why Sir Jokowi thought he wanted to move to the capital city? Because living in a city with a population of 75 million is very difficult", he said.
Furthermore, Lutfi explained the question difficulty is how people get clean air in the midst of the increasing population in the capital.
"How is the pollution, how to dispose of the garbage, how to electrify the electricity, how to provide water, these are extraordinary challenges", he said.
Lutfi said, in 2045 international trade will show improvement. At least Indonesia's trade will grow by 3.4 percent. Meanwhile, in developing countries, it will grow 6 percent.
Not only that said Lutfi, but international finance will also move. If now using the euro and yuan, then in 2045 it will become a regional currency, it could even be like crypto and bitcoin.
"The middle class is important and this is what buys and will become the economic powerhouse", he said.
