Though it sounds utopian, in 2045 or one hundred years of independence, Indonesia is forecast to reach the target was ranked the top six countries with the best economy. So it is with that delivered by the Rector of Bandung Institute of Technology, Akhmaloka which revealed that Indonesia’s economy is forecast to more advance.
He said that some of this month he had the chance to go abroad, America, Korea, Thailand, they are very concerned about Indonesia because it is considered the world civilization shifted from America, Western Europe moved to Asia, East Asia, to Southeast Asia, with a very strong motor are China and India. That said, India is the third country after Indonesia. According Akhmaloka, large population into the capital is the best improvement of Indonesia’s economy. The population of Indonesia ranks third largest in Asia after China and India.
When the 2009 crisis, Indonesia is included in the four states that positive economic growth, namely China, India, Brazil, and Indonesia. Currently, Indonesia is also included in the G-20.
Furthermore, there are challenges ahead that must be faced by Indonesia in improving the rate of economic growth. One challenge is how to educate the younger generation may be the key to Indonesia’s progress next 20 years, if successful wake of education, its economic success in the world.
Indonesia’s economic growth during the period 2012-2016 is the highest among the other ASEAN countries. Of the indicators of gross domestic product, is Indonesia’s highest. Based on the study of the Organisation for economic co-operation and development (OECD), the gross domestic product of six ASEAN countries for 2012-2016 average of 5.6 per cent. These countries include Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Viet Nam and the Philippines. The average growth in Indonesia during that period amounted to 6.6 per cent or one of the highest among the five countries sections. Indonesia also is expected to be the only ASEAN countries that its growth for 2012-2016 above average growth during 2003-2007. While the average economic growth of other countries under the reach in the period 2003-2007.
This is support in strengthening the economy of Indonesia itself is Domestic Market. It is characterized by the contribution of the domestic market by 60 per cent of total Gross Domestic Product (GDP). If the domestic market was developed further by increasing efficiency, connectivity, and facilities, the Indonesian economy can withstand the impact of the crisis of Europe and the United States. Therefore, the government especially the Ministry of Commerce will seek to improve human resource capacity to the facility permit. Regarding licensing, Domestic Market players expect all local governments can facilitate entrepreneurs in getting a permit for his business.
Actually Indonesia economy supported by non-tradable factor was not fair, because Indonesia is the world’s natural resources-based. According to the time span that the data presented since 2001, growth in non-tradable sector has always been above GDP growth. Data of 2010, GDP growth is only 6.1 percent, while non-tradable sector could grow 8.19 percent. Meanwhile, in the same year, tradable sector grew only 2.86 percent. This condition does not correspond to natural resources owned by Indonesia, particularly in the agricultural sector resources. As a result, there was a disparity of income between the lower class people, especially farmers, with the upper class.
So the solution is with a sense of socio-economic system build of Indonesia. In addition, policies should also processing of agricultural resource-based economy or the industry as the program returns to the village because many rural people in need of attention if it is associated with poverty and unemployment.
