"Singapore still sees Indonesia as the most attractive country for investment. Nearly 30 percent of the total FDI that in Indonesia comes from Singapore. Last year, Singapore's investment in Indonesia reached US$9.8 billion, while this year in the first half of 2021 it reaches US$4.7 billion. This is an opportunity for Indonesia and Indonesian entrepreneurs to seize the opportunities and attract investors from Singapore to invest in Indonesia."

"Indonesia's economy is set to emerge stronger amid the revival in domestic and favourable external demand, further supported by accommodative fiscal and monetary policy stances, as well as sustained infrastructure spending. Further structural reforms aimed at increasing productivity and investment, improving net export and creating sustainable economic growth will be fundamental to the country's acceleration of post-pandemic economic growth."

And this is part of our task at Ministry of Trade. Next year, we are committed to assisting at least 1 million new economic players to trade, to sell products, and to do business in digital media, at least in the online e-commerce market."
