The collaboration targets to raise the digital economy’s contribution to Indonesia’s gross domestic product (GDP) to 19 percent by 2045.
“To achieve the target of a 19 percent digital economy contribution to GDP, mastery of technology and digitalization is required,” Hafid said in a statement released in Jakarta on Saturday.
As one of the 17 national development agendas, the digital transformation is expected to be a key driver in driving economic transformation and governance toward the Golden Indonesia 2045 goal.
“We are targeting to become a developed country with the fifth-largest GDP in the world by 2045,” she said.
According to Hafid, the collaboration between her ministry and Prospera is an effort to realize the Golden Indonesia vision.
The collaboration will focus on two main pillars: strengthening governance and the direction of digital transformation policies, as well as mapping and strengthening internal capacity.
The initiative will strengthen the role of the ministry in driving agile and adaptive national digital transformation.
Deputy director of Prospera, Della Temenggung, welcomed the ministry’s strategic steps. She expressed her support for the Indonesian government’s efforts to accelerate digitalization.
“This is a time when we see an opportunity to leap toward 2045,” she said.
As a bilateral cooperation program backed by Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Prospera is committed to strengthening economic and digital transformation policies in Indonesia.
On Thursday, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, said that the digital economy is currently a crucial pillar for inclusive and sustainable national economic growth.
Hartarto noted that the e-commerce sector accounts for a significant 72 percent of the total value of the national digital economy.
Indonesia, he said, is the largest digital market in the Southeast Asia (ASEAN) region, and its value is expected to reach US$600 billion by 2030.
