Public Urged to Understand the Economic Concept Behind President Prabowo's Policies

Ramadan discussions and geopolitical dynamics set the stage as the concept of Prabowonomics was officially introduced through activist Syahganda Nainggolan’s book ‘Prabowonomics, Democracy, and the Challenges Ahead’, launched at the Barat Hall of Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) on Thursday (5/3). On site, Syahganda explained that although not the entire work, around 30 percent of its content specifically examines ‘Prabowonomics’, which he describes as a national strategy to confront global uncertainty. The idea emerged amid a volatile global economy and the impact of wars in various regions that affect national stability. He emphasised that the main message of the book is to build public trust to keep the nation united under national leadership in order to achieve tangible policy results, and to navigate Indonesia out of the grip of economic crisis and the dynamics of global geopolitics. ‘The world economy is turbulent. I hope Prabowo Subianto’s leadership can lift the nation. The book’s message is simple: for the people to trust President Prabowo as the right person to lead the republic in times of crisis as it is today,’ he said. At the same venue, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, who attended as keynote speaker, said the work not only talks about economic figures but also a critical reflection on democracy and national unity. ‘I have read this book. The title is fantastic, but its contents contain various views on democracy, constructive corrections, and national unity. This book really should be read,’ Dasco said. In agreement with Dasco, ITB Rector Tatacipta Dirgantara welcomed the book as a space for ideas for Indonesia’s future. The event was also attended by the Minister of Manpower Yassierli, Minister of Cooperatives Ferry Juliantono, and Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Brian Yuliarto. In addition to the ministers, Chairperson of Commission X of the DPR, Hetifah Sjaifudian, Chairperson of Commission XI Misbakhun, and labour figure Jumhur Hidayat attended, turning the launch into a platform for cross-sector idea consolidation. (Ant/P-3) Delpedro Marhaen raised the Iranian flag at PN Jakpus, demanding President Prabowo resign from the Board of Peace (BoP) in a courtroom ruling on incitement. President Prabowo Subianto officially appointed Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia as Head of the Task Force for Accelerating the Energy Transition to curb the state’s subsidy burden. The gathering occurred during an iftar, simultaneously serving as a space for discussion between the president and leaders of Islamic organisations. He outlined several fundamental questions that remain unanswered, such as the mechanism for disarmament and who would carry out operations in the field. The addition of TKD is a realisation of a proposal from the Minister of Home Affairs to President Prabowo Subianto and the DPR. According to Ferry, the Kopdes Merah Putih programme forms an important part of the economic concept known as Prabowonomics, i.e., an approach that places the people at the centre of the economy. IKATAN Alumni SMAN 37 Jakarta (IKA SMAN 37) formed a division for micro, small, and medium enterprises (UMKM) within its organisational structure. Prabowo Subianto’s appearance at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, Switzerland, is not merely a ceremonial diplomatic event. President Prabowo arrived in Zurich to attend the WEF Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos and is scheduled to present the Prabowonomics concept. President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to attend WEF 2026 in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday (22/1).
