Of the 18 projects, 8 downstream projects in the mineral and coal sectors, 2 projects on energy transition, 2 energy security projects, 3 agricultural downstream projects and 3 marine and fishery downstream projects. This is outside the special car battery ecosystem that we will build," Bahlil explained, Tuesday, July 22.
Bahlil emphasized that the investment value in the downstream project will create hundreds of thousands of jobs. The downstream project will also create an even distribution of national economic growth.
It (the downstream project) will create a good job with a decent wage. No longer wages, sorry, no longer UMR wages (Regional Minimum wages). And this is an instrument of penetration in order to provide justice in regional economic growth," he said.
The Downstreaming Task Force, continued Bahlil, is always ready to continue to coordinate with Danantara, discuss further regarding the determination of financing schemes, business capital determination, project implementation, location determination, or completion of project constraints, which include land licensing and environmental social mitigation.
