According to Moeldoko, the reason why Indonesia managed to overcome the Residue quickly was because the Government managed to use the right strategies.Â
"The first strategy is that the government makes maximum efforts to overcome the health and economic impacts left behind."
Second, the government distributed social assistance efficiently to ensure no one went hungry and provided much-needed support for those affected by the economy.
Third, the government maintains the role of the cooperative sector, MSMEs, and corporations in economic recovery. The government must ensure that none of these enterprises fail due to the crisis, Moeldoko continued.Â
In addressing economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic coupled with the complicated geopolitical situation, the government wisely reallocated the budget.
Successfully overcoming the economic crisis, Indonesia is now heading towards an Advanced Indonesia 2045. This can happen if it is supported by five foundations, namely; the foundation of human resource development, the foundation of infrastructure development, and the foundation of bureaucratic reform.Â
Then the foundation of regulatory improvement and the foundation of economic transformation.Â
The government also continues to encourage sustainable economic growth, among others through industrial downstream and green economy development.
