Dicky conveyed that one of his visions and missions is to encourage the development of Indonesia's digital to support economic growth.
When asked about his optimism to be elected as Deputy Governor of BI, Dicky left it entirely to the will of God Almighty.
He emphasized that he had tried his best and left the assessment entirely to Commission XI of the DPR RI, and assessed this process as part of the dedication and career journey that must be lived.
"We leave it to God. God is the one who arranges everything, if it's a matter of how Commission XI sees it. If I'm the main thing, it's enough what we've done, this is our best effort," he told the media, Monday, January 26.
Dicky said that the main task of Bank Indonesia is to maintain stability to ensure sustainable economic growth.
According to him, these efforts are carried out through a mix of policies that include monetary, macroprudential, and payment systems.
He emphasized the importance of synergy and collaboration with all stakeholders, ranging from the government, banking industry, finance, real sector, to parliament.
Dicky assessed that the balance of the policy must be maintained in order to optimally support national economic growth, which is targeted to reach 8 percent as stated by President Prabowo Subianto in the Asta Cita program.
"We try to continue to encourage and we from the payment system policy are trying to find various innovations together, of course, all stakeholders to be able to facilitate this, because if the digitization is good, everything is smooth, this is the velocity of money, the money in circulation will be fast," he said.
According to him, digitalization that runs well is believed to be able to increase the velocity of money, so that liquidity can be more quickly channeled to sectors that need it.
He added that optimizing the digital push is the key to achieving economic growth while maintaining inflation.
On the other hand, Dicky said that the volatile global conditions were one of the main challenges, so Bank Indonesia needed to continue to encourage public consumption and strengthen the real sector as an engine of economic growth.
He emphasized the importance of financing, technology, and digitalization support to encourage sustainable economic growth.
"Our financing is encouraged so that it can encourage various sectors that currently of course need liquidity, support from digital, support from technology, because if we encourage economic growth, this is a strong theory that we must master technology, have financing, and have labor. Well, this is what we have to strive for," he concluded.
