The government of Indonesia under the leadership of President Joko Widodo has a long-term orientation in economic development through infrastructure development that takes a long time. Towards the implementation of the elections in conjunction in 2018, it is expected that the infrastructure development can be completed so that domestic conditions can be more stable. This was conveyed by economic observer from the University of Indonesia who also served as Program Director of INDEF (Institute for Development of Economics and Finance), Berly Martawardaya in a special interview with Voice of Indonesia in Jakarta more recently.
"...So, we see that the government has long term orientation by focusing on the infrastructure. So, the infrastructure takes more than one year or even three years to be built; that's complicated one. So, that's why, we see that the situation must be stable within the two years. So, we hope some of the infrastructure is already finished this year," Berly said.
Berly also expects that with the completion of infrastructure development, foreign investors will be interested to come to Indonesia and invest their capital before the political year or the change of regime in 2019. (Rezha)
