JAKARTA - The Sharia Economic Expert Council of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN), Rezza Arief Budy Artha said, candidate pair number 2 is committed to optimizing the sharia economy as a'motor' for new economic growth in Indonesia.

This commitment has been conveyed by the Vice Presidential Candidate Gibran Rakabuming Raka, during the vice presidential debate held by the General Elections Commission (KPU), Friday, December 22.

At that time, Gibran conveyed the importance of preparing strategies to develop human resources (HR) in the sharia development sector, halal tourism, and the halal industry in Indonesia.

"If we listen to the debate last night, the Prabowo-Gibran pair represented by Mas Gibran as vice presidential candidates, we will listen to how the sharia economy was taken seriously," said Rezza in a Sharia Economic Discussion themed 'Love SGIE Understanding, Ga Danger Tah?' at the KKN Headquarters Fanta HQ, Jakarta, Saturday, December 23.

Not only about strategy, still at the same moment, Gibran also mentioned the State of Global Islamic Economy (SGIE), an indicator in the sharia economy issued by DinarStandard where Indonesia was ranked fourth after Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

So, said Rezza, in developing the sharia economy, the government needs to know the achievements of various countries in the world in the field of Islamic economics, each of which has its parameters.

"When we talk about sharia economics, SGIE is a parameter. Through understanding good and correct parameters, we can formulate how to develop a sharia economy that is also good and correct in the future. That's the key," explained Rezza.

On that occasion, Rezza reiterated that Prabowo-Gibran was the only participant in the presidential election who had a close commitment and strategy in developing the Islamic economy as a new motor for economic growth in Indonesia.

"Prabowo-Gibran stated clearly in the second Asta Cita but8r, the Islamic economy is a point that we will develop if Prabowo-Gibran gets the mandate to run the government in the future," said Rezza.
