Rasjid stated that to reach economic growth targets, the country must attract investment by establishing sustainable enterprises, a key driver for long-term growth across Southeast Asian economies.
Indonesia, rich in biodiversity, ranks second globally in biodiversity after Brazil. By managing this resource effectively, the country can lead the formation of a Southeast Asian carbon market alliance.
Additionally, its abundant skilled workforce offers further advantages for attracting foreign investment.
