A clean and corruption-free government implementation is an important condition for economic growth and equity. It was stated emphatically by the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto at the signing ceremony of the Commitment to Implement Corruption Prevention Actions for 2023-2024 at the Corruption Eradication Commission's Merah and Putih Building on Wednesday (8/03).

In encouraging the acceleration of national economic recovery, the Government cooperates and collaborates with all parties, including the private sector and the community. From the policy side, fiscal and monetary policies are ​​always synergized, especially to maintain public consumption and the investment climate amid global economic uncertainty. Indonesia's economic fundamentals are also believed to remain solid since the recession potential based on a Bloomberg survey is only 2%.

The use of digital technology continues to be encouraged to increase access to financial services that reach the community, especially those living in rural and remote areas, including groups of low-income communities and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This group has a crucial role in supporting the achievement of the target of 90% national financial inclusion by 2024.

The Government remains vigilant and anticipatory, and continues strengthening domestic resilience in observing the current global economic conditions. The IMF projects global economic growth to slow from 3.4% in 2022 to 2.9% in 2023.

Despite of global challenges and deceleration of economic growth worldwide, Indonesia and ASEAN have become the regions with the highest growth and roles as one of the source of world economic growth. Moreover, Indonesia is recognized as the bright spot in the dark in the midst of global uncertainty.
