Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo) released the Digital Indonesia Vision (VID) 2045 at the end of last year. This program is an alternative policy roadmap in the digital sector to realize a Golden Indonesia 2045.
Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Budi Arie Setiadi said VID prioritizes infrastructure as the foundation for realizing a responsive digital government, an innovative digital economy, and digital inclusion for all Indonesian society.
“We hope that VID 2045 will be a contribution to the thoughts of the Ministry of Communication and Information to support Indonesia's efforts to get out of the middle income trap,” he said at the CNBC Indonesia Economic Outlook 2024 event at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Pacific Place, Jakarta, Thursday ( 2/29/2024).
Budi Arie said the government has big aspirations to bring Indonesia into the ranks of the 10 countries with the largest gross domestic income (GDP) in the world.
To realize this vision, the Ministry of Communication and Information supports the collaboration of all parties, including industry players, to align plans with the national digital transformation agenda.
“I think there is no other way to achieve national prosperity, other than joining hands, shoulder to shoulder, working together in national harmony and unity,” he said.
Furthermore, Budi Arie said that nationally the digital sector valuation is predicted to reach US$ 109 billion in 2024. Regionally, the digital economy in ASEAN countries is predicted to be worth US$ 1 trillion by 2030.
In the midst of the threat of recession hitting various countries around the world, Budi Arie emphasized that the role of the digital economy is crucial. This sector brings optimism because of its great opportunities.
“This sector [red: digital] projected to grow exponentially. “For example, the artificial intelligence (AI) market at the global level is projected to continue to accelerate with a value reaching US$ 207 billion in 2030,” he explained.
