The Head of the Government Communication Agency (Bakom), M. Qodari,\nbelieves that President Prabowo Subianto potentially faces opposition\nfrom various parties due to current economic policies. He cited examples\nranging from natural resource governance to trade regulations.<\/p>\n
Qodari made these remarks during the book launch of \u2018President\nSolution\u2019 in South Jakarta on Monday (8\/6\/2026). According to him,\nPrabowo\u2019s steps to improve national economic management could trigger\nresistance from parties that have historically benefited from the old\nsystem.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to say this: it is not impossible that Mr.\u00a0Prabowo is under\nattack, under siege, or surrounded, because Mr.\u00a0Prabowo is implementing\nvery fundamental changes to our trading methods and economic management\nacross various aspects. One of the most fundamental relates to natural\nresource management,\u201d said Qodari.<\/p>\n
He explained that Prabowo is striving to return natural resource\nmanagement to the mandate of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, which\ndictates that natural resources must be controlled by the state and used\nfor the prosperity of the people. The government is currently conducting\nevaluations of various natural resource management practices.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt that point, he is conducting a thorough evaluation. For instance,\na derivative of Article 33 of the Constitution is that mining and\nplantation lands should not belong to individuals, but to the state.\nCurrently, these are owned by individuals, and the funds used for\nmanaging and developing these plantations are often borrowed from state\nbanks. However, once the products are sold, the foreign exchange does\nnot return to Indonesia but remains abroad,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Qodari noted that the government is also working to rectify various\npractices in export activities that are deemed detrimental to the state.\nHe mentioned that practices such as under-invoicing and transfer pricing\nare major focuses for the government.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is under-invoicing and there is transfer pricing. Mr.\u00a0Prabowo\nwants to correct all of this so that the revenue for the nation and the\nstate becomes larger, and the funds can be used for the greatest\nprosperity of the people, addressing fundamental national issues such as\nfood and energy security,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Qodari touched upon the formation of a new agency tasked\nwith recording and managing natural resource commodity transactions. He\nnoted that it is possible for parties to emerge in opposition to these\ngovernment policies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis includes the establishment of an agency to record and manage\nall natural resource products to overcome issues like under-invoicing\nand transfer pricing. In this context, it is not impossible that there\nare opponents; there are dark forces that are unhappy with what\nMr.\u00a0Prabowo is doing, both domestically and from abroad,\u201d he\nasserted.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/qodari-claims-dark-forces-oppose-prabowos-natural-resource-governance-reforms-1780935103", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
