According to Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has responded positively to Indonesia's membership request. “Our interest has received a positive response from the OECD considering the constructive cooperative relationship between the Indonesian government and the OECD, Indonesia's leadership role in various global forums, and Indonesia's good economic performance,” he said on Wednesday (2/8). The minister informed that Indonesia is focusing on using its demographic advantage to achieve its vision of becoming a high-income developed country, as outlined in the 2025–2045 National Long-Term Development Final Draft (RPJPN) and Golden Indonesia 2045 plan. According to him, Indonesia's accession process to OECD will support the structural reforms at the domestic level, which are currently being actively carried out by the government. He said that becoming a member of the OECD will also provide reputational advantages and increase investor confidence due to Indonesia adhering to advanced and trusted policy standards. “OECD has shared with Indonesia the experience of other OECD member countries in taking advantage of demographic bonuses and things that must be considered to become a developed country with high income per capita,” he disclosed.  (ICE GIACARTA)
