He inaugurated the groundbreaking of 13 Phase II strategic national projects worth Rp116 trillion in Cilacap, Central Java, focusing on energy, minerals, and agriculture sectors, including gasoline refineries and coal-to-DME facilities projected to reduce fuel imports by $1.25 billion annually and substitute 80% of LPG imports. These initiatives, involving major state-owned enterprises, aim to deepen value addition, integrate sectors, and create approximately 600,000 jobs, strengthening economic sovereignty through mastery of the full production chain.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo\nSubianto has affirmed that the downstreaming programme is the path for\nthe resurgence of the Indonesian nation to become a prosperous and\nself-reliant country in terms of energy and economy. \u201cDownstreaming is\nthe only way for us to become more prosperous. We do not want to just\nsell raw materials; we want to process their derivatives in Indonesia so\nthat the added value is enjoyed by the Indonesian people,\u201d stated\nPresident Prabowo after inaugurating the groundbreaking of 13 Phase II\nstrategic national downstreaming projects worth Rp116 trillion in\nCilacap, Central Java, on Wednesday. According to the Head of State, as\nmonitored via the YouTube broadcast of the Cabinet Secretariat, the\ncourage to process domestic natural resources is the key to ensuring\nIndonesia no longer depends on other nations. The President emphasised\nthat strengthening the economic foundation through energy and food\nself-sufficiency must be realised immediately. He stated that true\neconomic sovereignty can only be achieved if Indonesia masters the\nproduction chain from upstream to downstream on its own soil. Minister\nof Investment and Downstreaming\/Head of BKPM and CEO of Danantara Rosan\nPerkasa Roeslani explained that the 13 projects cover the energy,\nminerals, and agriculture sectors. In the energy sector, development is\nfocused on gasoline refinery facilities in Cilacap and Dumai. Rosan\nreported that the refinery projects are projected to reduce fuel oil\nimports by $1.25 billion per year. In addition, there is the\nconstruction of a coal processing facility into Dimethyl Ether (DME) in\nTanjung Enim as a step to substitute LPG imports, which currently\naccount for 80% of national needs. \u201cThis second phase focuses on\ndeepening added value and total inter-sector integration. The target is\nfor these projects to create jobs for approximately 600,000 people,\u201d\nRosan reported to the President. Overall, these downstreaming projects\ninvolve significant synergy among strategic state-owned enterprises such\nas Pertamina, MIND ID, Krakatau Steel, and PTPN to ensure that\nIndonesia\u2019s transformation towards high-value-added industry proceeds on\nschedule.<\/p>",
