        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) and the Ministry of Finance\ndiscussed strengthening industrial incentive policies, including those\nfor electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion took place during a meeting between Industry Minister\nAgus Gumiwang Kartasasmita and Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa in\nJakarta on Tuesday (5\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>One of the main focuses was electric vehicle incentives, which are\nconsidered increasingly important, not only to support emission\nreductions but also to curb oil fuel (BBM) consumption and the\ngovernment\u2019s subsidy burden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo less important, this policy must be able to strengthen the\ndomestic industry and protect our workforce,\u201d Agus continued.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting also discussed various challenges faced by industrial\nplayers in the field, while formulating strategic steps to accelerate\nnational manufacturing growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe dissect various obstacles that may be faced in the field by\nindustrial business players, then find solutions,\u201d said Agus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also give appreciation from the start that the Finance Minister\nhas opened and channelled various problems faced by business players,\nincluding through the formation of a debottlenecking team,\u201d Agus\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>This step is considered important because the manufacturing sector\nremains the main pillar of national economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn essence, we discussed various policies and steps that need to be\ntaken by the government, both as stimuli and incentives, so that\nmanufacturing growth, which supports economic growth, can run better and\nfaster,\u201d said Agus.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Agus highlighted the significant contribution of the\nmanufacturing sector to national exports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to increase that achievement. However, it must be understood\nthat Indonesia\u2019s manufacturing structure differs from other countries\nsuch as Vietnam, Thailand, or Malaysia,\u201d Agus said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far, about 80 percent of our manufacturing output is absorbed by\nthe domestic market, while about 20 percent is exported,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the government is striving to boost exports without\nreducing the strength of the domestic market, while still protecting the\ndomestic industry and opening expansion opportunities to global\nmarkets.<\/p>",
