Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) and the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs have reinforced their strategic synergy to attract global investment, rallying international diplomatic support for Indonesia's 2027 economic agenda.

The collaboration was highlighted during the Kadin Monthly Economic Diplomatic Breakfast in Jakarta on Friday, drawing over 70 ambassadors, foreign diplomats, and international chamber representatives.

Kadin’s Deputy General Chairperson for Foreign Affairs Coordinator James T. Riady emphasized that robust synergy between the government and the private sector is crucial for weathering global economic headwinds and driving sustainable, equitable development across the regions.

“Today we have more than 70 ambassadors and diplomats who are present, wanting to hear what our economic program is for 2027," James said.

Riady noted that developing countries globally face a major challenge in generating an estimated 1.2 billion new jobs over the next 15 years against a projected output of 400 million, making enhanced international partnerships and regional investment crucial for job creation.

Therefore, discussions during the forum—which also involved the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP)—focused heavily on expanding regional investment and job creation.

Addressing the diplomatic corps, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto outlined Indonesia's robust economic fundamentals under President Prabowo Subianto's administration.

During the briefing, Airlangga outlined several key policy updates for international stakeholders.

First, he provided clarification on Government Regulation Number 40 of 2026, which extends the deadline for mandatory halal certification to accommodate business actors.

Second, addressing Export Proceeds Foreign Exchange (DHE), he announced the expansion of approved fund placement jurisdictions to 16 countries, incorporating recent additions such as South Korea, Japan, and the European Union alongside the US, Canada, China, and Australia.

Third, he discussed frameworks governing natural resource exports—such as coal and palm oil—alongside the upcoming January launch of PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (PT DSI) as a sole intermediary.

Airlangga also shared Indonesia’s upcoming priorities and schedules for key international engagements within ASEAN, APEC, and the G20.

The Indonesian government and Kadin leaders expressed confidence that proactive transparency and strengthened international partnerships will reinforce investor trust and support sustainable national growth.
