The success of holding a series of G20 2022 Summits is considered to be able to open investment opportunities in Indonesia, which in the end is expected to have a double impact on the economy and people's welfare. Head of the Communication Bureau of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Kemenko Marves) Andreas Dipi Patria in a discussion entitled "Maintaining the Face of the Nation in the G20" which was broadcast online in Jakarta, Monday, said the series of the 2022 G20 Summit with 150 side events in 20 major cities will bring many foreign participants and delegates. "This is the door on how we promote not only people coming for tourism, but also opening opportunities for people to see Indonesia's readiness as a place of investment, a place for people to invest," he said.
Andreas hopes that both tourism and investment will be able to have a double impact on national economic growth and create jobs for the community. In a temporary count, it is recorded that at least 33 thousand workers are needed to be able to provide services for 150 side events of the G20 Summit series next year. "Our calculations are temporary, if the activity runs for one year, it can reach 33 thousand workers needed to provide services for more than 150 events," he said. Thus the implementation of the G20 in Indonesia will not only have an impact on Bali - which is the location of the summit - but also nationally move the economy. "Indeed, this is an opportunity or momentum for our economy to quickly rise from the last two years, which really plummeted due to the pandemic," said Andreas. On the same occasion, the Governor of Bali Wayan Koster said the initial meeting of the 2022 G20 Summit series had begun in Bali, last week, with the participant's response being claimed to be very satisfactory.
From the first meeting on 9-10 December 2021, it was observed that the implementation went smoothly starting from the arrival of the delegation, security, meetings, implementation of health protocols, news to entertainment and food served. "There is a strong impression that Indonesia is capable. And Bali is an area that is highly appreciated in this meeting. The Financial Track Meeting in Jakarta also seems to be decided to be held in Bali," said Koster Wayan Koster said as directed by President Jokowi, as the first developing country hosting the G20 Summit as well as the first country in Southeast Asia, the Indonesian Presidency at the G20 must make an impression. "He (the President) emphasized that there must be something new, not just regular regular meetings. There must be a new taste," said Wayan Koster, promising to prepare an atmosphere with a better atmosphere for the follow-up meeting in Bali.
