Advancing Indonesia's Governance Reform Towards Achieving the 'Indonesia Emas 2045' Vision
This study utilizes the World Governance Indicators (WGI) framework, developed by the World Bank, to provide a comprehensive analysis of Indonesia’s governance landscape. It highlights effective practices and offers practical recommendations to address the challenges faced by Indonesia. IBC believes the pressing need for governance reform is not only a matter of improving administrative efficiency but also a strategic imperative for Indonesia’s long-term development objectives. Without comprehensive reforms, the nation risks overcoming persistent issues like corruption, inefficiency, and inadequate public services.
The document emphasizes the importance of systematic and thorough governance reform as a high-priority agenda, crucial for achieving ambitious economic growth targets and enhancing the well-being of the Indonesian people.
Forecasting the Course Ahead
The Indonesian Business Council (IBC) hosted the ‘IBC Business Competitiveness Outlook 2025,’ emphasizing four key approaches to enhance collaboration with the business sector and attract investment. These include governance reforms to improve ease of doing business, private-public collaboration in infrastructure development to boost socio-economic quality, advancing industrialization through downstream strategies, and promoting a green economy.
