Indonesia Economic Summit (IES) 2025 Brings Business Sector Collaboration to Drive High, Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Growth

JAKARTA, Feb 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire) - The Indonesia Economic Summit (IES) 2025 officially opened today in Jakarta, attended by more than 1,500 participants from 48 countries. The two-day summit (Feb 18-19), organized by the Indonesian Business Council (IBC), offers a forum for 100 speakers representing policy makers, business leaders, experts, and academics.

Chairman of the IBC Supervisory Board Arsjad Rasjid said that IES 2025 focuses on two main topics, growth and prosperity, which are expected to be catalysts for real action in various sectors.

"We hope that IES 2025 is not just a gathering place but can be a turning point where ideas become concrete steps. We want to ensure that the discussions held at IES 2025 are able to create a significant impact in driving Indonesia's economic growth and realizing people's welfare," said Arsjad.

He added that high, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth can only be achieved with strong collaboration in various sectors. IES 2025 also builds closer partnerships with the government to encourage policies that are pro-investment and pro-economic growth.

IBC Chief Executive Officer Sofyan Djalil said that IES 2025 is expected to build momentum to strengthen the contribution of the private sector to encourage growth. This can be realized with the right public policies that can strengthen competitiveness and facilitate business and economic activities.

"IES 2025 bridges business leaders, economists, and policy makers to discuss strategic steps and policies to create a public policy climate that will encourage high, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth," said Sofyan.

IBC COO William Sabandar explained that IES 2025 accommodates discussions with topics that are relevant to the economic challenges and opportunities faced by Indonesia amidst global geopolitical changes. The topics include:

 1. Economic priorities and strategies to achieve economic growth, which requires a strategic vision and targeted policy priorities.

 2. Monetary and financial policies to support high and sustainable economic growth, while balancing government spending and macroeconomic stability.

 3. Ensuring industrial policies that encourage growth in the manufacturing sector and increase the contribution of the manufacturing industry to GDP as key to achieving sustainable economic growth.

 4. Ensuring that Indonesia wins in the developing trade war, through a more active and diverse global trade strategy, including trade diversification, market expansion, and improving export performance.

ParagonCorp Co-founder and IBC member Salman Subakat, who is also a speaker at the industry session at IES 2025, expressed his support for IBC's initiative to encourage closer collaboration between business actors and policy makers.

"We need policies that can encourage the business sector, especially the manufacturing industry, because this sector plays a major role in triggering high, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth," said Salman.

IES 2025 has produced concrete commitments from various parties. Several memorandums of understanding (MoUs) were signed between the government, private companies, and international institutions to support strategic projects in the fields of renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and human resource development (HRD).

One of the flagship projects announced was the development of a renewable energy center in Eastern Indonesia and a vocational training program to improve the competence of the local workforce. IES 2025 is expected to be a catalyst for the creation of real steps that can accelerate Indonesia's economic growth in a sustainable and inclusive manner.
