- During a recent central government coordination meeting attended by the Regional Government Coordination Forum (Forum Koordinasi Pimpinan Daerah/Forkopimda), President Joko Widodo emphasized the importance of improving the national business climate in order to attract more investment to Indonesia, thus creating more job opportunities.
- With this objective in mind, the president is hoping to simplify the current business licensing regime. One of the measures that he is hoping to introduce is a set of new omnibus laws which should ultimately shorten the currently lengthy licensing procedures.
- In order to support these efforts, President Widodo is encouraging regional government officials to offer prompt services to investors and to steer clear of corrupt practices, while also inviting law enforcers to take part in efforts to eradicate corruption.
- Voicing her support for the president's directives, the Minister of Manpower, Mrs. Ida Fauziah, asserted the importance of developing better human resources and stated that the Ministry of Manpower is currently preparing a number of strategic programs aimed at the development of the country’s labor force during the 2020-2024 period. These programs will specifically target a reduction in the current unemployment rate (Tingkat Pengangguran Terbuka) from 5.28% to the 4.0% - 4.6% range.
