Economic Equality in the Era of President Prabowo, Encouraging Prosperity from Sabang to Merauke
Jakarta – President Prabowo Subianto is bringing a new direction to the Indonesian economy, focusing on economic equality and increasing welfare that touches all regions of Indonesia.
Through a community-based approach, the government of the eighth President of the Republic of Indonesia is committed to building an independent economy that involves the community as the main actor, especially in villages that are often neglected.
Golkar Party politician Bayu Airlangga assessed that the Pancasila Economic concept used as a basis by President Prabowo was able to create a balance between economic growth and equality.
Bayu said that MSMEs will be a pillar in this effort, because this sector is considered to have great potential to drive the people’s economy.
“The idea that Pancasila Economy becomes the basis for building a more independent and equitable economy is in line with President Prabowo’s vision,” said Bayu.
He added that a community-based approach that supports small businesses would strengthen national economic independence.
BPIP Expert Council, Prof. Dr. Ermaya Suradinata, stated that the Prabowo-Gibran government focuses on development starting from the village as a strategy to overcome inequality between regions.
According to Ermaya, this approach allows villages to become active subjects in development.
“Equal distribution of welfare will be difficult to achieve if villages are left behind in development,” said Ermaya.
The BPIP Expert Council admitted that they were optimistic that fairer policies for rural communities would significantly change Indonesia’s economic picture.
Meanwhile, the seventh President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, also expressed his appreciation for the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program initiated by President Prabowo.
This program is considered to have a positive impact, not only on children’s health, but also on local MSMEs that are empowered in the distribution of nutritious food.
“The MBG program is in line with the government’s long-term goal of increasing inclusiveness and sustainability of development,” Jokowi explained.
With a focus on equal distribution of prosperity, President Prabowo’s government is seeking to build a more just, equitable and independent future for Indonesia.
From Sabang to Merauke, people’s hopes for economic growth that reaches the grassroots are now increasingly real, providing a strong foundation for a more prosperous Indonesia.
