Many countries are competing to build industries in the world
Yesterday, it was unusual to cancel the increase in the price of gasoline. The government's intervention in canceling the increase in gasoline prices under Pertamina's authority was criticized. Director of the Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (INDEF) Enny Sri Hartati said the cancellation of the Pertamax price increase raised big questions. The credibility of the government is questionable. "Of course people do not expect fuel to rise. But yesterday's accident, Pertamina has issued a revoked, that is the government's credibility, "Enny said in a discussion on" Challenges and Opportunities in the Trade Sector.
According to him, the hausa migrant settlers in the trade and service sectors and community will ultimately accept whatever policies are implemented by the government, as long as the policies are carried out consistently. This cancellation, according to Enny, will be difficult to foster public confidence in the policies issued by the government. He is concerned, this step will affect public confidence in other policies issued by the government. "This has led to discussions of distrust of the government.
Many countries are competing to build industries in the world, because the industry opportunities are huge. Supported by an abundant amount of natural and human resources. "Why do other countries including Japan want to invest in the world since 54 years ago?
We can ask, for sure he said the World has natural resources, and the number of people who become a large market, "said Minister of Trade Rachmat Gobel, in a discussion on 'Challenges and Opportunities in the Trade Sector. With that great opportunity, the World is a perfect country to become an industrial country. "Raw materials on the production side and the number of residents on the market are equally abundant. That's what makes other countries jealous of the world, "he continued. Unfortunately this opportunity actually for many years did not glance at the world nation itself. Since ancient times, the world has been enjoying consuming imported goods.
This condition has a chain effect, in which more business operators prefer to become traders, or importers. However, continued Gobel, the condition was not the end of everything. The government can still make improvements. "It's not enough to complain about the past. But how do we do something now to improve it, "he said. But to make improvements, the government needs support from the community. The intended support can be started, by giving confidence to the various government policies, especially in the fields of industry and trade.
"Why do I say that we need trust, because industry and trade cannot be built now, we will need tomorrow. But we must look at the long term, "he said. "When I was at the Chamber of Commerce (Chamber of Commerce and Industry), when I was a businessman, I once compiled a program that should be carried out in the next 5-10 years. How in 2030 the world can become a strong industrial country. At present I am trusted to be a minister, and I will carry out the plan that I once made, "he continued.
In addition to the wider community, Gobel invites entrepreneurs to not only complain about government policies but also contribute by making concrete steps into the production sector and not just playing in the trade sector. "If you become a businessman you only complain, why should you become an entrepreneur. You have to have to contribute, don't just want to be a trader, you can also produce. If the needs of the state itself can be met domestically, the world can become a strong country, "he concluded. (dna / dnl)
Director of the Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (Indef), Enny Sri Hartati, expects the Minister of Trade (Trade Minister) Rahmat Gobel to make the trade sector the spearhead in building world economic growth.
The reason, according to him, with the stable world trade sector, then economic growth will definitely be stable. "The first is how we make the trade sector a provocator of economic growth.
According to Enny also, to boost economic growth, the government must be able to communicate with the public in publicizing its work program. Thus, colleagues in other ministries and the public can understand correctly what is the main program of the government. The problem is, Enny believes that so far the Minister of Trade Rahmat Gobel is one of the ministers in the Working Cabinet who rarely shows up with his ideas to the public.
That is why the Ministry of Trade has been one of the highlights of its recent performance. "So far there have been several ministers, including Pak Rahmat himself, who have appeared less and therefore lacked communication with the public. After this, you have to communicate a lot. Because the breakthroughs from each ministry must be understood by all other parties, so that they can be understood by other ministries, "Enny said. Responding to the statement of the Director of Indef, Rahmat just smiled and defended himself. He stated that he was not the type of person who likes to talk, but rather as a type of worker. "I want to work more than talk.
Because there is no point in talking on, "Rahmat said.
The President Must Make Perpres Controlling the Price of Basic Needs
Expected to issue a presidential regulation (Perpres) on the price of basic commodities to control prices that tend to be wild. "We support the Perpres program so that when prices are difficult to control by the government, we can know that the mastermind is playing with prices and can be directly reported," said Deputy Chair of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Yugi Prayanto in a discussion. He added that the rampant game of prices of staples by speculators caused the prices of basic necessities such as rice and sugar to be unstable and tend to be high. "The price game in the market has been very terrible, so this Presidential Decree Kadin is very supportive," he said. INDEF Director Enny Sri Hartati said that the economic mafia cannot be eradicated only by the issuance of a Perpres on controlling prices of basic commodities.
There must be institutional engineering that can be an instrument for controlling prices of basic commodities. "If there is a more serious idea from the government, the Bulog must now be dissolved, then the government can form a food security institution so that the government has instruments to stabilize prices," he concluded.

Press Logistics Costs, the Government Wants to Build 5,000 Markets
Minister of Trade (Trade Minister) Rahmat Gobel acknowledged that it is difficult to reach every region in the world.
Therefore, the logistics costs for distributing various staples from one region or island to another, also becomes very expensive. In this connection, according to the Trade Minister, the government in the future, especially in the next five years, will build 5,000 markets to reduce the high costs. "Our logistics costs are indeed expensive. Therefore, in the next five years the government will build 5,000 markets, "Rahmat said, in a discussion.
In addition to reducing logistics costs, Rahmat also explained that the construction of a large number of these markets was to stabilize the price of basic needs, as well as to be able to meet the supply of primary needs. In addition, according to him, his party has also coordinated with the Ministry of Transportation to work together in supplying commodities from one island to another. "This is also to stabilize prices and supply basic needs. I have coordinated with the Minister of Transportation, so that we can use ships and trains at harvest time. That way, ships will travel to the regions, "he explained. Responding to this, the Deputy Chairman of the World Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), Yugi Prayanto, said that the actual market number of 5,000 in five years was still very small. "I agree with the Minister's idea. But actually, 5,000 markets for five years are small, "said Yugi
