JAKARTA - On February 12, based on Chinese calendar calculations, the Metal Buffalo year will begin. A number of events are predicted to occur this year.
"2021 is a year full of changes and mobility," said feng shui expert Yohan Suyangga.
Yohan is optimistic that the economy and defense sector in Indonesia will improve in Metal Buffalo, including businesses in banking and real estate.
The election of Joe Biden as president of the United States is considered to have a positive side to the Indonesian economy, compared to the Donald Trump era.
"Economically, it will improve, better than the old one. But in this world, it will still have an impact which is not too positive," he said while mentioning the trade war between the US and China is still continuing.
"Broadly speaking, the stock market economy has a lot of positives. From February to January 2022, it will be mostly positive."
He also said that there would be many Indonesian companies that would merge with other companies.
"Not because they are weak, but it would be great if a merger, or collaboration."
He also emphasized this collaboration as something important for individuals, for example people in the creative world who collaborate to produce better work.
The good news from the Metal Buffalo year, he continued, is that there will be many alternatives to viral medicine, an improving food industry and increased car sales, as well as tourism.
However, he predicts that there will be many electronic data thefts, as well as lawsuits related to patents or copyrights. Some international fashion brands that have stores in Indonesia may also lose hope and eventually close.
"For certain products, it will be good, like fashion bags, but for clothes, it will decline a bit."
Given the changing lifestyles that make people dependent on technology, traditional jobs are also predicted to disappear a lot. He gave an example, the waiter who used to take notes on the menu has now had his role eroded by the presence of an electronic menu that can be scanned by a device.
In addition, heart problems, lung problems and infectious diseases are also predicted to emerge this year, as are disasters such as earthquakes, fires, drought and floods.
Contacted separately, feng shui expert Yulius Fang told Antara he believed Indonesia's economy would be better than 2020.
"The Metal Buffalo Year is one of the years in which Indonesia will triumph in its economy," said Yulius when contacted, Sunday, January 31.
In the second semester, investment has the potential to enter Indonesia. Indonesia has the potential to get a good income and be able to bounce back, although not one hundred percent like it was before the pandemic.
In September 2020, Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati stated that economic growth in the 2021 RAPBN, which was originally targeted to be at a level of between 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent, has now become 5 percent.
Maybe the results will be quite encouraging, even if they don't exactly reach the target, provided that the COVID-19 pandemic is more under control.
He said, another thing that might happen in the Metal Buffalo year is that the relationship between the people and the government is less harmonious, related to legal systems and regulations.
"Like the Omnibus Law and Job Creation, people will still protest."
