He supported his call for economic transformation by noting that Indonesia's economic growth rate has hovered around 5 percent for the past two decades, preventing the country from attaining high-income status.
Pambudi made these remarks during a meeting with representatives of the Asian Productivity Organization (APO) in Jakarta, according to a statement from the PPN Ministry issued on Sunday.
He noted that the ministry and APO signed a letter of intent last year to initiate the formulation of the National Productivity Master Plan (RIPN).
The master plan is expected to provide Indonesia with a roadmap to boost productivity, establish a more innovative and competitive ecosystem, and achieve an inclusive and sustainable economy.
Pambudi affirmed that the ministry is committed to supporting the entire drafting process of the RIPN and developing derivative provisions to be implemented across ministries and agencies to ensure the plan's effective execution.
He also emphasized the need for regional governments to adopt the RIPN to tailor productivity-boosting strategies to local needs.
According to Pambudi, the master plan must align with the National 2025-2045 Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN) and the 2025-2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN).
"That way, we can comprehensively integrate the strategies being formulated with national development policies," he stated.
