Asia Future Summit: Luhut Outlines Prabowo’s Vision for a Digital Indonesia

Singapore, VIVA – The Chairman of the National Economic Council, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, served as a speaker in one of the discussion sessions at the Asia Future Summit 2024 in Singapore.

On his Instagram account, Luhut expressed that it was an honor for him to be a speaker at this prestigious event.

"Before coming to Singapore, I sought permission and also listened to messages and directions from President Prabowo regarding the points I should convey, including to private sector audiences, directors of Temasek, fund managers, and senior bankers," Luhut said, as quoted from his Instagram @luhut.pandjaitan, Tuesday (Nov 12).

He revealed that President Prabowo gave him two directives related to Indonesia's economic strategy pillars.

The first is digitalization as a priority program, aimed at improving the efficiency of public services and governance.

The second is the utilization of natural resources and renewable energy to achieve energy and food self-sufficiency. According to Luhut, this is a step toward sustainable welfare and national self-reliance in facing global challenges.

"Indonesia is a strong partner and a resilient nation. In an increasingly interconnected world, true strength lies in solid and mutually supportive partnerships," Luhut explained.

He added, "With optimism and thorough preparation, Indonesia is ready to maintain domestic stability and growth, while also contributing to building a better future at both regional and global levels,"

Currently, Indonesia is feeling the impact of global pressures, from Europe's economic downturn to potential Middle East conflicts, as well as digital disruptions that accelerate global economic change.

These challenges are pushing Indonesia to maintain stability and sustainable economic growth.

However, on the domestic front, Luhut emphasized that Indonesia continues to demonstrate resilience across various aspects.

Starting with controlled inflation, stable government debt, and a fiscal deficit target of 2.3 percent of GDP for 2024, Indonesia has successfully placed itself on the right track.

"The government is also enforcing spending discipline and expanding productive initiatives to ensure that every budget allocation brings real benefits to the people," he concluded.
