Presidential Staff Office ensures swift and accurate implementation of priority industrial programmes

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Presidential Staff Office (KSP) has reaffirmed its full commitment to overseeing, controlling, and ensuring the President’s priority industrial programmes proceed swiftly and accurately.

During a meeting with the Indonesian Industrial Estate Association (HKI) at the KSP office in Jakarta on Friday, Presidential Staff Chief General (Ret.) Dudung Abdurachman expressed hope that government-industry synergy could be strengthened to support national development agendas.

‘I will oversee and control these programmes. My main duties include monitoring and ensuring the President’s priority programmes are executed swiftly and accurately,’ Dudung stated in Jakarta on Friday.

First, creating quality jobs, promoting entrepreneurship, and developing creative industries. Second, continuing downstreaming and industrialisation to increase domestic value addition.

Lastly, building from the village level and grassroots to achieve economic equality and eradicate poverty.

To realise this vision, Dudung said his office will conduct strict on-the-ground monitoring.

He noted foreign investors are interested in Indonesia, but execution speed remains a key challenge.

‘Field obstacles and speed factors include lengthy inter-agency coordination processes, inconsistent central and regional policies, differing interpretations of regulations on the ground, and uncertain timelines for resolving basic investment permits,’ Dudung explained.

In response to the report, the Presidential Staff Chief stated they would promptly map issues in national priority industrial zones and Special Economic Zones classified as national strategic projects.
