BANDUNG - The Indonesian government must boost investment to secure economic growth target of 8% in 2025, according to Agustinus Prasetyantoko, Lecturer at Unika Atmajaya’s Applied Economics Master’s Program, in a discussion at Top CEO Indonesia Awards 2024 on November 15, 2024.

Prasetyantoko believes that Indonesia's economic landscape is still dominated by domestic consumption. In the future, the proportion of investment should be increased to attain said target.

"New ideas have been considered; for example, merging State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) into one entity in order to boost investment. That is what I believe is a novel idea," he said. (LK/ZH)
