BANDAR LAMPUNG - President Prabowo Subianto considers that Indonesia's economic system has shifted far from the ideals of the founders of the nation, especially Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution.
This was conveyed by Prabowo when opening the XVIII HIPMI Congress in Bandar Lampung, Wednesday (10/6).
According to Prabowo, Indonesia's natural wealth should be managed for the greatest prosperity of the people. However, he sees that many people still live in poverty despite the country having large natural resources.
"Branches of production that are important for the country and control the livelihood of many people must be controlled by the state. This is Indonesian, no need to interpret it," said Prabowo.
He also highlighted the higher interest rates for small-scale people's loans than large entrepreneurs. Prabowo said micro-business actors could pay interest of up to 24 percent, while large entrepreneurs received government bank loans of around 9-10 percent.
"How can poor people pay higher interest than big businessmen?" he said.
Prabowo said the government would try to straighten out the irregularities by returning to Article 33 in a wise and wise manner.
