The 2045 vision is Indonesia's target to become a high-income nation, so it can rank among the top five world economic powers.
"We have started the implementation of SDGs in Indonesia since 2016. SDGs are one of the main instruments in the efforts to achieve Indonesia's 2045 vision," Monoarfa noted at the event to disseminate information on Presidential Regulation Number 111 of 2022 here on Tuesday.
Monoarfa expounded that to achieve the SDGs target, Indonesia must overcome various challenges, such as recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, achieving the 2030 agenda target, and increasing its per capita income.

Monoarfa noted that it could increase efficiency in reaching economic development targets, and concurrently, continuously drive the development of the green and blue economy or circular economy.
