President Jokowi is optimistic about the strength of Indonesia's sharia economy

President Joko Widodo said he was optimistic about the strength of Indonesia's sharia economy.

"I want to give our sharia economic position which in 2014 was in the 9th position, in 2020-2021 we have risen to 4th in the world," said President Jokowi in Jakarta, Friday.

President Jokowi conveyed this at the opening of the Second Islamic Economic Congress which was also attended by the Deputy Chairperson of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Anwar Abbas and 250 people who attended directly and the remaining 1,250 were online.

"My estimation is God willing, in 3-4 years it will enter the 2nd or 1st place, if it is growth , if the growth is as we see now, the market will enter all countries very quickly," added the President.

President Jokowi estimates that the development of Indonesia's sharia economy in 6-7 years will continue to grow because it is supported by a large Muslim population.

"And we hope that with the largest population, the largest Muslim population in the world at 87 percent or 207 million people, we have committed to become the center of the sharia economy in 2024 and we will work hard for that," said the President.

In addition to the Islamic finance industry, President Jokowi also revealed the development of the halal industry.

"Including the development of the Islamic finance sector, the development of the Islamic social finance sector, the development of sharia entrepreneurship, we will all encourage because we are a country with the largest Muslim population in the world," added the President.

This is supported by the performance of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI), which not only serves large but also small customers.

"The big ones, the small ones, the medium ones to big ones can be served by BSI because now they have entered the big 8 banks with stronger capital strength and we hope that later it will be related to the halal industry, halal tourism, halal products , which has a very large market share, this can be served by a large bank," explained the President.

Moreover, since December 1, 2021, Indonesia has assumed the task of becoming the G20 Presidency.

"It means that we are the heads of big countries, developed countries with a GDP with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) that is in the top 20. We are now at number 16 but as previously stated by Buya, God willing, in 2040-2045 we will count. "McKinsey's calculations, calculations from the World Bank and the IMF, indeed we will enter the top four," said the President.

Although it is predicted to become the fourth largest economic power, President Jokowi admits that the obstacles are not small.

"The challenge is also not an easy challenge. There are conditions for us to get there because our estimated GDP at that time in 2040 - 2045 was approximately 23 thousand - 27 thousand US dollars, that is the income per capita of our society, a very large number. , said the President.

To achieve this, President Jokowi invites MUI to also work together to achieve this goal.

"But it requires all of our hard work," said the President.
