The Deputy for Development Financing and Investment at the Ministry\nof National Development Planning (Bappels\/Bappenas), Putut Hari Satyaka,\nstated that development priorities in the context of the relationship\nbetween business entities and the government are food, energy, and\nindustrial downstreaming.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegarding priorities, those funded by the State Budget (APBN) are\ncurrently more focused on human capital development and social\ndevelopment. However, for infrastructure, we are placing more emphasis\non food sovereignty, energy sovereignty, and downstreaming,\u201d Putut said\nduring a press briefing following the Government and Business Synergy\nagenda for National Development Acceleration in Jakarta on\nWednesday.<\/p>\n
According to him, downstreaming steps are crucial so that Indonesia\nno longer merely sells raw materials but is capable of producing goods\nwith high added value. Regarding the energy sector, the global\nuncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz issue makes the development\nof renewable energy sources an urgent necessity that must be addressed\ncollaboratively.<\/p>\n
Currently, the government is facing the timelines of the 2025-2029\nNational Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) and the 2025-2045 National\nLong-Term Development Plan (RPJPN). Consequently, 60 priority national\ndevelopment programmes and National Strategic Projects (PSN) must be\nrealised immediately through the involvement of appropriate business\nactors and sound project planning.<\/p>\n
\u201cProject preparation cannot be undertaken by the private sector or\nthe government alone, as we must formulate what the business model\nstructure will look like. We need to determine how the government\u2019s\ninvolvement via the state budget will work, what the private investment\ncomponent will be, and what the risk mitigation entails. We are\ncurrently mapping these projects in detail,\u201d Putut explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom these 60 projects, we will determine which ones align with the\nefforts of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), and\nin what manner. The milestone will be the success of several National\nPriority Work Programmes (PKPN), which are expected to commence in 2026.\nThis does not mean that the PKPN or national strategic projects will be\ncompleted immediately, but they will begin based on increasingly solid\ninformation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Taufan Eko Nugroho, Vice Chairman of Organising at Kadin Indonesia,\nemphasised that synergy with the government is vital to achieving these\ndevelopment targets.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegional areas require significant development. The business\ncommunity is ready to synergise with the government. We are simply\nwaiting to see which priorities need to be built and what the synergy\npattern will look like, so that development can be accelerated, as the\nrequired development is much larger than what the current state budget\ncan provide,\u201d said Taufan.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, with the potential available in the business world, God\nwilling, we can further accelerate development,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bappenas-maps-out-development-priorities-between-government-and-business-sector-1790780624", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
