The BI governor noted that the demands to realize environment-friendly economic activities are getting higher, so Indonesia must be able to respond to it and prepare itself through various structural and digital reform policies.
Such efforts would be better undertaken jointly by the central and regional governments, so that all regions in the country can boost economic activities that are increasingly environment-friendly.

Apart from the green economy, Warjiyo noted that digitalization also played a significant role in that type of civilization.
"Restrictions on mobility during the pandemic have accelerated digitalization in various aspects of economic activities," he stated.
Hence, he believes that digital learning in education is necessary to accelerate the national digital financial economy that has turned out to be a game changer during this pandemic.
Digitization also simplifies activities in the health and other sectors, as it makes them faster, easier, and more efficient.
Furthermore, the BI governor noted that inclusion was an important element in this new civilization.
Hence, he called to continually improve Indonesia's economic and financial inclusion to reduce economic disparities between regions, business scales, and groups of people with different incomes.
"Hence, we continue to accelerate the inclusion of the economy; finance; micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs); and the agricultural sector, especially through clustering, entrepreneurship, increasing access to finance, and digitalization," according to Warjiyo.
