JAKARTA - Deputy Head of the Monetary Agency of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Aviliani assessed that currently entrepreneurs are starting to prepare production to anticipate a possible spike in inflation.
"The growing demand will be followed by entrepreneurs from the supply side so that it will not cause such a large inflation," said Aviliani at the Merdeka Barat 9 Forum online, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, May 17.
After the Lebaran moment has passed, entrepreneurs are increasingly optimistic and have prepared themselves for economic growth that is starting to improve, along with the recovery of almost all sectors, especially the manufacturing industry.
Therefore, he hopes that the government can help several other sectors that have not been able to grow positively after COVID-19 begins to subside and cause various easing.
One of the sectors that is still moving quite slowly in the midst of improving the current economic situation is infrastructure.
"This can be accelerated so that it will also affect job creation," he said.
Aviliani suggested that the government could help the sector with incentives such as those given to the automotive and property industries so that they could move significantly.
The provision of incentives is considered to have implications for government consumption growth which has not increased significantly in the first quarter of 2022.
He explained that the current inability of several economic sectors to grow positively is in line with the fact that there are still entrepreneurs who are not quick to seize opportunities with existing business changes, especially through digitalization.
Even though the current economic situation has changed rapidly and consumers are increasingly turning to businesses that are adopting digitalization.
