Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto said 2022 had been designated as a period of continued economic recovery and structural reforms. The government targets Indonesia's economic growth next year to grow above five percent. In order to achieve this target, he said, legal certainty and government support will continue to be carried out for the sake of facilitating investment and doing business. The government is committed to continuing the agenda of structural reform, deregulation, and debureaucratization. He continued, the decision of the Constitutional Court regarding the revision of the Job Creation Law will be implemented and followed up by the Government as soon as possible. All material and substance of the Job Creation Law remain in full force and effect. "In addition, the momentum of the Indonesian G20 Presidency in 2022 must also be utilized as well as possible to encourage economic recovery and transformation," he said in a press release received by Republika.co.id, Sunday (12/12).

Next year will be a proud moment for the G20 Presidency for Indonesia to lead the world's largest group of income countries and overcome uneven economic recovery. There are three things that are the main focus of the G20 Presidency, namely inclusive health care, digital-based transformation, and the transition to sustainable energy. The three are arranged under the theme "Recover Together, Recover Stronger". "According to the direction of the President, the 2022 G20 Indonesia Presidency is not just a ceremony but produces tangible results that are beneficial for Indonesia and the world," he explained. Indonesia's presidency in the G20 is predicted to help create around 33 thousand jobs. With more than 150 meetings to be held in 19 cities and the presence of more than 18 thousand delegates, it will increase domestic consumption to Rp 1.7 trillion, increase the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by Rp 7.4 trillion, the total benefit is 1. 5 to 2 times larger than the 2018 IMF-WB annual meeting in Bali. "These various projections must of course be realized in the spirit of partnership and cooperation from all parties. This pandemic further emphasizes the importance of inclusiveness, cooperation, and collaboration in order to support stability and economic growth," said Airlangga.
