Deputy Minister Of Trade: Economic Positive Trends Increase Potential To Win Indonesia Gold 2045

JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Trade (Wamendag) Jerry Sambuaga said Indonesia Gold 2045 was not just a dream. According to him, the current condition of the Indonesian economy supports this achievement.

"For example, from the achievement of a consistent trade surplus, as well as the inflation rate which is also always maintained stable," he said in a press release quoted on Sunday, July 30.

Jerry emphasized that the Indonesian economy is currently in a conducive condition, especially when monitored from the trade balance. It is stated that it is a big picture of the Indonesian economy that maintains a positive trend and how trade exports contribute significantly to Indonesia's economic growth.

"Indonesia has the potential to become a big country that is calculated in the regional or global arena. This has been proven by the success of Indonesia's G20 Presidency and this year we also have the mandate to become Chair of ASEAN," he said.

Jerry also encouraged students to play a role in this economic progress, one of which was through support for local products.

"The simple way that young people can do is to buy and use the products of Indonesian micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs)," he added.

Furthermore, Jerry explained several policies and programs of the Ministry of Trade that focus on preparing and training MSMEs to be more proficient in developing business and even being ready for export.

"The government continues to try to improve 3K in the context of MSMEs, namely, quantity or production capacity, quality of the products produced, and continuity that can make people's business actors more competitive," he concluded.
