JAKARTA - Global economic recession is predicted to occur in 2023. Global uncertainty is the dark shadow of economic growth in that year.

Arsjad's optimistic attitude is supported by projections issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Where, the IMF projects Indonesia's economic Pertumungan to be at 5 percent to 5.5 percent.

"We have to strengthen the domestic market, I said 55 percent is the support of the domestic market, so that (the crisis outside does not disturb us," he said.
Arsjad also asked the government to pay attention to imports.
According to him, this is important in order to maintain the sustainability of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia.
"That's why we take care of this import, because so that we can walk the umkm. The key is there, remember not 1998, all of which went up by MSMEs. We have to take care of this, while the commodity must go up. For example, textiles, don't disturb them from outside," he said.
"How to ensure that imports are clear. Not only policies, because sometimes policies have important implementation. This must be maintained, because the situation is like this," he continued.
