Seminar | Whither Indonesian Economy in 2045 | Teguh Dartanto

In this joint LIAS (Leiden Institute for Area Studies) and KITLV Southeast Asia Seminar Series, Teguh Dartanto will share his insights on three interrelated Indonesian economic issues.

First, whether Indonesia would meet its target to become a high-income country by 2045 (Indonesia Emas 2045) – and why such obsession may potentially have limited effects on poverty alleviation. Second, whether at the current level of income per capita, Indonesia has met the necessary and sufficient conditions to reach the goal on time. And third, whether and why Indonesian long-run economic policies on the road to 2045 need a significant reorientation to accelerate the country’s socio-economic mobility, reduce income inequality, and improve equality of opportunity i.e., social protection system and access to quality education.
