        "summary": "Indonesia's attainment of WHO-Listed Authority (WLA) status is expected to enhance the global export potential of its cosmetic products by bolstering international confidence in the national regulator. The head of BPOM noted that this reputation facilitates product acceptance in 39 other WLA-recognised countries. With an annual economic value exceeding Rp180 trillion, the domestic cosmetics industry is seen as having significant room for growth, supported by Indonesia's vast natural resources.",
        "content": "<p>The Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) has stated that the\nWHO-Listed Authority (WLA) status held by Indonesia can increase export\nopportunities for local cosmetics by boosting global confidence in the\nnational regulator. According to the WHO\u2019s official website, Indonesia\nis the first middle-income country to achieve this status, owing to its\ncommitment to strengthening oversight, particularly in the field of\nvaccines. \u201cThis reputation certainly has an impact. In many parts of the\nworld, cosmetics are often included in drug or medical evaluations,\u201d\nsaid BPOM Head Taruna Ikrar in Jakarta on Monday. He explained that this\nreputation provides several advantages, such as product reliance, where\nproducts that have been assessed by BPOM have the potential to be more\neasily accepted by regulators in the 39 countries with WHO-Listed\nAuthority (WLA) status. Therefore, he said, this status plays a\nsignificant role in advancing the Indonesian cosmetics industry. To\ncapture a potential market of 8 billion people, both new and existing,\ncompetitiveness is required, along with proof that Indonesia can offer\nefficacious products that match their claims. \u201cI am optimistic that\nIndonesian products can compete internationally because of our raw\nmaterials. We can be self-sufficient in cosmetics,\u201d he said. He\nexplained that Indonesia has more than 31,000 plant species with the\npotential to be extracted into cosmetic ingredients, as well as mineral\nwealth and animal proteins. Cosmetics, he noted, are extremely popular\nproducts currently. Citing the Indonesian Consumers Foundation, the\neconomic value of this industry reaches approximately 10 billion US\ndollars per year. \u201cBecause it is so large, we hope that business actors\nor the cosmetics industry can be assisted by BPOM to further develop and\ngrow,\u201d he said, adding that economic growth in the cosmetics sector is\nincreasing by around 6.7 percent annually.<\/p>",
