        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has announced plans to create a Special Financial Centre in Indonesia to position the country as a secure investment destination amid global geopolitical tensions. The initiative, originally proposed by Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan and eyed for Bali, aims to attract investors deterred from the Middle East, including those from Russia and Ukraine who have already relocated there. Prabowo views current global instability as an opportunity for Indonesia to leverage its potential through strategic initiatives and accelerated priority programmes.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has stated that the government plans to\nbuild a Special Financial Centre to optimise Indonesia\u2019s role as a safe\ninvestment destination amid global geopolitical turmoil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur plan is to create a Special Financial Centre. We are currently\nlooking for a location,\u201d Prabowo said during the Working Meeting of the\nMerah Putih Cabinet at the State Palace in Jakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the proposal was put forward several years ago by\nLuhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Chairman of the National Economic Council\n(DEN), and is planned to be located in Bali.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, the President explained that many Russian and\nUkrainian citizens have moved and settled in Bali since the conflict\nbetween the two countries began in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the President believes that this initiative can attract\ninvestors who previously planned to invest in the Middle East but\nreconsidered due to escalating tensions in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt turns out that now the money from the Middle East, where does it\nwant to go? Which country is not at war now? Indonesia is one of the\nmost sought-after,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Prabowo conveyed that global turmoil should be seen as a\nmomentum for Indonesia to present strategic initiatives and accelerate\npriority programmes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe point is, we have a lot of potential. But this also, as I said,\nrequires us to work harder and more meticulously now,\u201d Prabowo\nadded.<\/p>",
