        "summary": "Senior economist Aviliani from Indef has called for a strategic boost in Indonesia's creative economy to increase national foreign exchange reserves. She highlighted the potential of digital industries, artisan products, and large-scale events to drive significant economic value.",
        "content": "<p>The creative economy is widely discussed and even has its own\ndedicated ministry, but its actual contribution remains relatively low.\nIn reality, if we look at its potential, it is immense, stated\nAvilability during the ANTARA Business Forum held in Jakarta on\nWednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Aviliani, a senior economist at the Institute for Development of\nEconomics and Finance (Indef), urged an increase in the country\u2019s\nforeign exchange earnings from the creative economy sector, including\nthe music, gaming, tourism, and artisan industries.<\/p>\n<p>Aviliani outlined three main strategies that can be utilised. The\nfirst is the \u2018Red Hot Industry\u2019 pillar, which comprises gaming, music,\nanimation, and digital services. She explained that the potential to be\ndeveloped through this pillar lies in the enhancement of digital\ntalent.<\/p>\n<p>The second pillar is the artisan sector, consisting of traditional\ntextiles (wastra), coffee, tea, and crafts. According to her, this\npillar can be expanded further because the added value can reach 25 to\n1,000 times the original cost if developed properly.<\/p>\n<p>The third pillar is \u2018multi-event\u2019, which includes sporting events,\nconcerts, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions).\nAviliani cited how Singapore successfully attracted tourists from\nvarious countries through hosting Taylor Swift\u2019s concerts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaylor Swift is famous, indeed. Once she was in Singapore, the whole\nworld came there,\u201d said Aviliani.<\/p>\n<p>Such breakthroughs, she noted, also need to be developed in Indonesia\nto serve as major tourism attractions.<\/p>\n<p>Aviliani stated that while the manufacturing sector is vital for job\ncreation, the creative economy sector plays a crucial role as a creator\nof added value and foreign exchange for the nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe actually have the potential there. Therefore, if this can be\ndeveloped, there could at least be an upward trend in terms of foreign\nexchange,\u201d concluded Aviliani.<\/p>",
