        "summary": "President Prabowo is executing eight flagship programmes as part of his Big Push strategy to address structural national challenges, but economists argue he must rigorously evaluate and reshuffle underperforming ministers responsible for these initiatives.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo is currently implementing eight flagship programmes\nas part of a big push strategy\u2014large scale, rapid, and\nwell-coordinated\u2014to resolve the nation\u2019s structural problems. As a\nresult, President Prabowo is advised to conduct evaluations of several\nministries overseeing these eight flagship programmes within his\ngovernment cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>Bramastyo B. Prastowo, an economist at Adidaya Institute, emphasised\nthat President Prabowo should not hesitate to reshuffle related\nministers if their performance fails to deliver economic benefits to the\npublic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, ministerial evaluation and reshuffles must be based on\nperformance that can be verified publicly,\u201d said Bramastyo in a\nstatement on Friday, 27 February 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyone unable to execute, lacking transparency, and failing to\nproduce real impact must be replaced,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bramastyo reaffirmed that President Prabowo\u2019s Big Bang and Big Push\npolicy strategy will not succeed if the government cabinet is filled\nwith figures who lack understanding of the framework and cannot execute\nthe programmes effectively.<\/p>\n<p>The President\u2019s advisors must function as pillars supporting the Big\nBang-Big Push strategy, rather than becoming obstacles. \u201cBig Bang and\nBig Push only succeed if the cabinet is filled with delivery leaders\n(executing ministers) and not merely communicators,\u201d said Bramastyo.<\/p>\n<p>Although not naming specific ministers deemed to be underperforming\nin supporting Prabowo\u2019s eight flagship programmes, Bramastyo believes\nPresident Prabowo certainly understands which ministries have yet to\noptimally execute these eight programmes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt minimum, all ministries associated with the eight flagship\nprogrammes (particularly the Economic Engine) must be evaluated by\nPresident Prabowo. We leave this entirely to the President\u2019s\nprerogative,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, a survey by Adidaya Institute concluded that 43 per cent\nof experts believe three of Prabowo-Gibran\u2019s flagship programmes\n(Fishing Village Programme, Special Economic Zones, and Three Million\nHomes) can serve as engines for new economic growth. The expert survey\nindicated that these three programmes are capable of creating\nproduction, absorbing labour, and stimulating money circulation in\nregions.<\/p>\n<p>The Expert Survey conducted by Adidaya Institute took place from\nDecember 2025 to February 2026 across 12 major cities in Indonesia,\nincluding Medan, Bandar Lampung, Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Surabaya,\nDenpasar, Samarinda, Banjarmasin, Makassar, Manado and Ternate.<\/p>",
