JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo said that the Indonesian economy could still grow 5.72 percent in the third quarter in the midst of a recession storm experienced by a number of countries in the world. "Large countries are currently in recession. We can still grow 5.72 percent in the third quarter," said President Jokowi at the Nusantara Bersatu event, at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (GBK) Jakarta, Saturday, November 26. In the global economic recession, many countries in the world are struggling. As a result, the price of goods has doubled. Luckily, Indonesia can still control this uncertain economic situation.

Nevertheless, Jokowi still reminded all parties to remain vigilant because the global recession is difficult to calculate and predict. Therefore, the hard work of all parties must continue to be done in order to avoid an economic recession. At the same time, attracting investors to invest in the country is also important to do. The goal, in order to open the widest possible employment opportunities.

"I ask in areas where there is investment so that the community can support it," Jokowi said as quoted by Antara. Because, once there are investors who invest, economic growth will automatically increase because they absorb labor. For example, the existence of the Weda Bay industry in North Maluku has an impact on economic growth in the area by 27 percent. "Nothing in the world like this, a province grows 27 percent," he said. Finally, the former mayor of Solo said that the infrastructure development carried out in the last eight years will begin to be felt in the next five to 10 years. "This is what we are preparing from now on, the important foundation is to build our country into a developed country," said Jokowi as well.
