Bogor- 2023 is predicted to be a dark year, this was stated by the Head of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) General ( Purn ) Budi Gunawan.

The term intelligence is called winter is coming “said KaBIN Budi Gunawan at the National Coordination Meeting of Regional Heads and the Communication Forum for Regional Leaders throughout Indonesia, Sentul, Bogor Regency, Tuesday (17/1/2023).
KaBIN explained that the Russia-Ukraine war was one of the factors causing economic uncertainty in 2023. This was exacerbated by the threat of using nuclear weapons.
The war between Russia and Ukraine is expected to last a long time and will affect the entire world’s energy and food supplies, especially for European countries where most of the energy and food are supplied from these two countries.
“Furthermore, based on intelligence analysis, there are potential threats. The first is the Russia-Ukraine war. It is predicted that it will continue for a long time.

Based on this, the Head of BIN predicts, the threat of an economic recession will become a scary ghost for all countries in the world, including Indonesia. Not only that, high inflation can also make the world economy fall further into the abyss of collapse.

“Therefore, let’s make this difficult year 2023 a year of blessings by making better, more mature preparations that care more about the community,” he added.
