Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia- Deputy Director of INDEF, Eko Listiyanton, revealed a number of challenges that the Indonesian government must be aware of in cooperation with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) or ‘China’s Modern Silk Road’.
Apart from strengthening trade cooperation, this agreement can also be balanced by increasing the competitiveness of domestic industry so that it can take advantage of BRI. If not, Chinese imports will flood the domestic market.
Eko also reminded us of the need to be careful with debt management, especially in the infrastructure sector. So what is the strong impact of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on Indonesia’s development?
