JAKARTA - Amid various concerns about the global economic condition, the weakening of a number of economic indicators, to the heavy debate in the public space about the Indonesian investment climate, the government claims to have received a different signal from international business actors.
Some people question Indonesia's appeal to investors, the government says foreign investment interest in the country still shows a positive trend.
This became one of the topics discussed by President Prabowo Subianto when he summoned a number of ministers at his residence in Kertanegara, Jakarta, as quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, June 14.
Based on the Cabinet Secretariat's statement, the meeting was attended by Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya together with the Minister of Investment and Industrialization and CEO of Danantara Rosan Roeslani, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia, Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Brian Yuliarto, Head of the State-Owned Enterprises Regulatory Agency Dony Oskaria, and Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi.
One of the focus of the discussion was related to the results of Rosan Roeslani's working visit to the United States as well as a number of countries in Europe and Asia in recent times.
"In the meeting, the President received a report from the Minister of Investment and Industrialization as well as the head of BPI Danantara regarding the results of his working visit to the United States and a number of countries in Europe and Asia. The report shows the facts and valid data on the increasing confidence of the international community in Indonesia, which is reflected in the high interest and inflow of investment into various strategic national sectors," said Teddy Indra Wijaya.
The statement is interesting amid the emergence of various speculations regarding Indonesia's competitiveness in competing for global investment. The government assesses that data obtained from the results of meetings with various international parties shows a different picture from a number of concerns that have developed in the public space.
Therefore, President Prabowo asked that information related to the development of investment not only be discussed internally, but also be conveyed publicly to the public.
According to Teddy, the President has instructed Rosan Roeslani to present the data and developments to the public at the Merdeka Palace on Monday (15/6).
This step, said Teddy, was taken so that the public could obtain more complete information regarding the condition of national investment based on data owned by the government.
"This step is part of the Government's commitment to provide complete and fact-based information to the public," said Teddy.
