Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia is in “survival mode” amid global uncertainty, Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said on Wednesday.During a symposium in Jakarta, he said President Prabowo Subianto views the current situation as requiring the country to optimize all resources to sustain maximum economic growth, rather than adopting a business-as-usual approach.”I want to be clear, in the President's mind, we are now in survival mode, so it is not business as usual,” Purbaya said.To help maintain the target of 8 percent economic growth, the government has established various task forces to secure state revenues and spending, as well as improve the business climate.Among them is the Forest Area Enforcement Task Force (PKH), which has addressed violations in forest areas as part of broader governance reforms.The reforms aim to ensure that natural resource management delivers optimal returns for the state.”I emphasize here, we are in survival mode. Everything must be carried out optimally. There is no more room for complacency,” Purbaya said.He added that the president's policy direction includes infrastructure development, strengthening energy security, and regional economic development.The government is also promoting budget efficiency and increasing industrial capacity to enhance value added, including through the development of the chemical sector and export-oriented downstreaming.In terms of energy security, the government is diversifying supply sources to reduce dependence on a limited number of providers, a step seen as crucial amid global disruption risks.”If all this goes well, investment will come in, and jobs will also be created,” he said.Fundamentally, he said the Indonesian economy remains strong, supported by fiscal stability, policy credibility, and robust domestic demand.He noted that around 90 percent of the economy is driven by domestic consumption, making purchasing power a key factor.He cited the 2009 global crisis, when Indonesia still managed to grow 4.6 percent while many countries experienced contraction.
