A group of volunteers supporting President Prabowo Subianto and\nVice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, known as the 98 Resolution\nNetwork, has set out a number of policies from the Prabowo-Gibran\ngovernment\u2019s first two years. The areas highlighted include the economy,\nnatural-resource management, education, healthcare and public\nhousing.<\/p>\n
The group made the statements on Wednesday (21 October 2026) in a\ndeclaration titled \u2018Tangible Action in Two Years of the Prabowo-Gibran\nGovernment: One Resolve to Grow from the Grassroots, Prosper Together\u2019.\nIt said the government had taken steps to promote a more even\ndistribution of economic activity and improve public welfare.<\/p>\n
The volunteers said that, over the past two years, Prabowo had\ninstitutionalised economic democracy. They said this was intended to\nimplement Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, which they argued had\nbeen neglected throughout the Reformasi era.<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Prabowo believes the 1945 Constitution, particularly\nArticle 33, is a basic norm (grundnorm) which, according to the\nhierarchy of norms, should underpin and be referred to in all government\npolicies and programmes,\u201d the volunteers said in a statement.<\/p>\n
They also said Prabowo had redirected government policy so that the\npublic could become the principal actor in driving development and\neconomic growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Prabowo has also made a fundamental correction to\nnatural-resource management. To date, natural resources have been\nmanaged undemocratically and concentrated in the hands of a handful of\ngreedy elites. President Prabowo is restoring the state\u2019s \u2018right of\ncontrol\u2019 over national wealth as a step towards democratising the\nmanagement and use of natural resources for the greatest possible\nprosperity of the people,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the financial sector, President Prabowo has also taken a major\nstep by ordering a shift in banking finance towards serving the people\u2019s\neconomy. He has also reallocated the state budget (APBN) to stimulate\nproduction and productivity in the people\u2019s economy,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
The volunteers said Prabowo had also revised the pillars of economic\ngrowth. They criticised reliance on natural-resource investment to\nsupply raw materials to industrialised countries, as well as growth\ndriven by consumption of imported goods and commodities, which they said\nreduced Indonesia to a market.<\/p>\n
In the economic sector, the group highlighted efforts to strengthen\nthe people\u2019s economy and national economic independence. The programmes\nit cited included Free Nutritious Meals (MBG), Merah Putih Village\nCooperatives, Merah Putih Fishing Villages and subsidised housing for\nthe public.<\/p>\n
The volunteers also pointed to natural-resource policies, including\ndownstream processing, smelter construction and food self-sufficiency.\nThey described these as efforts to increase the added value of national\nresources and reduce dependence on foreign capital.<\/p>\n
They also mentioned the establishment of Danantara, saying it was\nintended to consolidate state-owned enterprise (SOE) assets and support\nfinancing for national economic development.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndonesia has a large surplus from natural-resource exports and\nsubstantial foreign-exchange reserves. However, these funds are not kept\ndomestically and managed as a source of national capital. This is the\nbasis for President Prabowo\u2019s policy requiring natural-resource export\nproceeds to be placed within the national economy for at least one\nyear,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n
The volunteers said Prabowo had also reshaped natural-resource policy\nduring his two years in office. They cited the establishment of the\nForest Area Enforcement Task Force (Satgas PKH) and a moratorium on\nplantation cultivation rights (HGU) held by companies.<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Prabowo established Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI)\nas the sole channel for exporting strategic commodities. The aim is to\nstop all fraudulent practices in these exports and ensure that the large\nsurplus from natural-resource exports is not stolen and contributes to\nthe national economy,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n
In education and healthcare, the programmes highlighted were Sekolah\nRakyat and Free Health Checks. In housing, the volunteers cited\ndisbursements under the Housing Finance Liquidity Facility (FLPP),\nPeople\u2019s Business Credit (KUR) for housing-related micro, small and\nmedium-sized enterprises, and home-renovation programmes.<\/p>\n
The group also referred to legislation and public-protection\npolicies. These included Presidential Regulation No.\u00a027 of 2026 on\nprotecting the digital transport ecosystem, which, according to the\nstatement, caps app operators\u2019 commissions at 8 per cent.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegulations long pursued by social movements but stalled for years,\nsuch as the Labour Protection Law, the Agrarian Reform Law and the\nDomestic Workers Protection Law, have been passed by the House of\nRepresentatives. The Criminal Code Bill and Criminal Procedure Code\nBill, which had remained in draft form for decades, were also passed\ninto law under the Prabowo-Gibran government,\u201d the volunteers said.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder the Prabowo-Gibran government, Presidential Regulation No.\u00a027\nof 2026 was also issued to protect the digital transport ecosystem,\nlimiting app fees or operator commissions to a maximum of 8 per cent,\u201d\nthe group added.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/98-resolution-network-highlights-prabowo-gibran-governments-actions-over-two-years-1792576349", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
