In the efforts to strengthen its role in the global arena, Indonesia is currently an accession country to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) alongside Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Peru, Romania and Thailand. Indonesia is currently in the process of self-assessing national policies, regulations and standards in comparison to OECD instruments, to be later submitted in the Initial Memorandum document. In relation to the accession process, OECD Secretary General Mathias Cormann made a working visit to Indonesia from Nov. 25 to 28. During the visit, Secretary General Cormann attended a luncheon with Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto on Wednesday (27/11/2024). The meeting discussed the development of the Indonesian economy, including the focus of the government of President Prabowo Subianto , as well as the development of Indonesia's membership process in the OECD.Secretary General Cormann explained that the accession process will bring benefits to Indonesia and the OECD. The OECD will gain a lot of learning in new sectors, one of which is the digital economy where Indonesia is a pioneer through the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework Agreement. Furthermore, Secretary General Cormann also expressed his hope that the OECD membership efforts currently being taken by Indonesia can support the achievement of the vision to become a developed country with a high-income economy by 2045.Source:https://www.thejakartapost.com/business/2024/11/28/oecd-secretary-general-indonesia-membership-supports-golden-indonesia-2045-vision.html (ICE GIACARTA)
