Kadin Focuses on Driving 92% of Economic Engine Supported by Consumption, Investment, and Exports
The Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), Anindya Bakrie, has affirmed that the organisation will focus its contributions on the sectors that support the majority of the national economy: domestic consumption, private investment, and exports.
Referring to data from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Anindlar noted that approximately 92% of Indonesia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is driven by these three components. Consequently, Kadin feels a significant responsibility to drive economic growth by strengthening the business sector.
“Looking at the BPS data, almost 92 per cent of the GDP comes from public consumption, private investment, and exports. Therefore, Kadin feels called to contribute to this 92 per cent of our economy,” Anindya stated during a report presented at the Kadin Indonesia Presidential Briefing with President Prabowo Subianto at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, on Friday (31/07/2026).
He noted that this contribution involves not only large corporations but also businesses of various scales, ranging from micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), cooperatives, state-owned enterprises (BUMN), and regional state-owned enterprises (BUMD), to private companies at both central and regional levels. “This includes, of course, MSMEs, cooperatives, BUMN, BUMD, and large companies, both central and regional. Therefore, the relevant associations are present here,” he added.
Anindya stated that Kadin’s optimism in facing global economic challenges is reflected in the organisation’s logo philosophy. He explained that the boat symbol in the Kadin logo represents the business community’s ability to endure and thrive amidst various economic conditions. “If you look at the Kadin logo, there is a boat. This boat signifies that a strong entrepreneur is one who can navigate all types of seas.”
Furthermore, the presence of two horses in the Kadin logo serves as a symbol of the vital spirit of collaboration between the business world and the government in driving national economic development. “In the logo, there are not just one horse, but two horses, meaning we must work hard side-by-side to support the government,” said Anindya.
He added that the core values held by Kadin remain unchanged: “Resilient, Honest, Loyal,” as a manifestation of the business community’s commitment to serving the interests of the nation and state. “The logo remains the same as it has always been, namely: Resilient, Honest, Loyal. Resilient, Honest, Loyal for whom? For the Red and White (the Indonesian flag),” he concluded.
