BANDUNG - Cawapres Gibran Rakabuming Raka, admitted that he had received many ideas for the development of the creative economy sector from the city of Bandung.

According to Gibran, the creative economy ecosystem, including in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) line, has formed quite well in the city of Bandung in the last decade, through the support of local governments that accommodate the creativity of young people to express themselves, to be able to produce unique products.

"What is clear is that we are very happy that the ecosystem here has been formed. Young people are creative, even parents are creative. I have learned a lot to go to Bandung, to Mr. Ridwan Kamil, to creative MSMEs, we imitate many from here. Bandung children are grateful because the supportive leadership is finally running, all roads are cool," said Gibran at Kosambi Market, Bandung City, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, January 30.

Gibran also wants the development of the creative economy from the city of Bandung to be nationalized to help encourage Indonesia's economic growth to accelerate.

Moreover, continued Gibran, currently in Indonesia there are around 60 million MSMEs that need to be optimized so that they can "upgrade" and be able to reduce the open unemployment rate (TPT).

"In Bandung, it can be imitated to the national level. We have a lot of MSMEs, more than 60 million. The largest contributors are GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Some are small, chaotic. The government must intervene, so that it goes up in class," he said.

The implementation of the creative economy model for the City of Bandung is also expected by the former Governor of West Java and the Mayor of Bandung, Ridwan Kamil, who were met at the same location.

"Hopefully it can be nationalized later, lifting the creative economy," said the Head of the Prabowo-Gibran Regional Campaign Team (TKD) in West Java.
