Bali – National Police Chief General of Police Drs. Listyo Sigit Prabowo, M.Sc. asked all administrators and members of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI) to monitor and support all policies issued by the government related to Indonesia’s economic growth during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sigit said that when he was one of the speakers at the HIPMI Plenary Session Business Forum with the theme “Young Entrepreneurs Collaborate to Promote Economic Recovery of the Nation Post-Pandemic”, Friday at the Trans Resort Hotel Bali (18/3).
“Achieving the economic growth target in 2022 is a challenge for all of us. We have to really keep it so that it can continue to grow above 5%. Because that’s where we are. Because it’s our condition, we can be separated from what is usually called the Middle Income Trap,” explained the National Police Chief.
In the presence of HIPMI members, the National Police Chief reminded the direction of Indonesian President Joko Widodo in his speech at the 2021 HIPMI National Working Conference.
The National Police Chief added that President Joko Widodo at that time said HIPMI cadres could definitely turn challenges into opportunities and the Covid-19 pandemic disaster into economic recovery.
“So I specifically remind my colleagues. Currently, the government is implementing various national economic recovery programs. Of course, the role of HIPMI in it is to do various things to support the program. Business actors carry out business cooperation. Then there is the distribution of KUR and FGD assistance as well as talk shows, of course we want to develop new entrepreneurs,” added the National Police Chief.

Synergy to Restore the National Economy
The National Police Chief said, with the development of the global environment, of course, this would also have an impact on the State of Indonesia. Thus, it is necessary to cooperate and synergize all stakeholders in overseeing the national economic growth program.
“The challenge for us today is because we are trying to escape the Middle Income Trap. But on the other hand, with the existing Covid-19 pandemic conditions, this is certainly a formidable challenge. What we have to do, of course, is a strong consolidation to be able to maintain it,” said the National Police Chief.
According to the National Police Chief, to continue to achieve Indonesia’s economic growth target, of course, it must be accompanied by optimal control of the Covid-19 pandemic. Regarding this, the National Police Chief said that Indonesia’s economic growth in the fourth quarter was 5.02. He also hopes that in the first quarter of 2022 it can be at 5.3 to 5.5.
In terms of controlling Covid-19, based on Nikkei Index data late last year, Indonesia was the first country in this regard. Meanwhile, from the United States CDC, Indonesia is in the level I category. In fact, Indonesia is currently ranked fifth in the world for the most vaccine doses injected, with a total of 360.8 million.
“Of course, the hard work of all stakeholders, including HIPMI colleagues. And all of this is important to support so that in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the economy can grow. Because the key is which country can control the rate of Covid-19, then he is the winner and that is what we are continuing to do now,” said the National Police Chief.
