Jakarta – President Jokowi’s government has made significant contributions to Indonesia’s economic and political development in the last decade.
In the near future, the baton of leadership will be handed over to President-elect Prabowo Subianto. The transition of government from President Jokowi to President Prabowo must run smoothly and without turmoil, in order to maintain conducive conditions.
Director of the School of Global Strategic Studies/UI Economic Observer, Athor Subroto stated that Indonesia’s stable economic growth at the 5 percent level is an indication of extraordinary economic resilience.
He emphasized that President Jokowi has built a strong foundation through the downstreaming program, which allows Indonesia to survive and grow amidst global dynamics.
“We have become a country that is developing quite well because of the foundations whose multiplier effects are being drawn, such as the downstreaming program to maintain the economic process that occurs internally so that the multiplier becomes bigger,” he said.
Athor Subroto also highlighted that a smooth transition from President Jokowi’s administration to President-elect Prabowo is crucial so that the initial success of the new administration can be achieved and implemented immediately.
“The commitment to a smooth transition from the Jokowi government to Prabowo is a good thing so that the quick win of the next government can run quickly because that is something that must be implemented immediately,” explained Athor.
Meanwhile, Bung Karno University’s Political and Economic Observer, Faisyal Chaniago, added that the harmonization approach implemented by President Jokowi needs to be emulated by the President-elect, Prabowo Subianto.
“President Jokowi’s government approach can be emulated by Prabowo, namely with a soft approach, how he embraces all his political competitors so that they are involved in his cabinet, he explained.
Faisyal also appreciated that during President Jokowi’s 10 years of leadership, the downstreaming program has had a positive impact and must be supported by the next government.
“We appreciate President Jokowi’s leadership for 10 years. The program can be felt by all, especially downstreaming and needs to be supported by the next government,” he continued.
Faisyal also emphasized that the government transition period is important to prevent overlapping policies and ensure that programs run smoothly until the new cabinet is formed, for the sake of sustainable development in Indonesia.
“In this transition period, it is very important that there is no overlapping of policies so that all programs can run well. So this transition must be carried out until the new cabinet is formed,” he concluded.
With the support and synergy between President Jokowi’s government and the President-elect, Prabowo Subianto can ensure the sustainability of the development that has been achieved.
This sustainability is very important to ensure that the achievements that have been achieved are not only maintained, but also improved for the welfare of all Indonesian people.
