inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Ministry of Communication and Digital (Kemkomdigi) stated that it continues to strive to accelerate digital transformation as an important step in realizing the vision of 2045 Golden Indonesia.

Vice Minister of Communication and Digital (Wamenkomdigi) Nezar Patria said that digital transformation is expected to be a sector that can significantly improve the economy.

"Here we see the importance of digital transformation as an enabler, as the main catalyst. And to optimize that momentum, the digital economy is one of the sectors that must be worked on seriously," said Nezar on Thursday (12/5/2024).

He said that Indonesia is ambitious to achieve high-income country status by 2045, with a target of GDP per capita reaching US$15,700 by 2038.

To achieve this, Indonesia needs the right strategy, especially in the 2024-2029 period which is considered an important bridge towards this goal.

According to Nezarl, digital transformation acts as a major catalyst that can accelerate economic growth.

He said that Indonesia's digital economic transactions in 2024 are estimated to reach 90 billion US dollars, and are predicted to continue to grow to reach 200 to 360 billion US dollars in 2030.

One of the sectors driving this development is e-commerce, which in 2024 is estimated to contribute 65 billion US dollars and will continue to grow.

"The growth of the digital economy is certainly supported by various sectors, one of which is the e-commerce sector. The good development of domestic e-commerce certainly needs to be maintained so that it can stimulate the development of the startup ecosystem in Indonesia," said the Vice Minister of Communication and Digital.

Nezar further said that the development of the digital ecosystem, especially startups, is also key to driving the digital economy.

Indonesia has been recorded as rising in the global startup ecosystem index, with more than 2,500 startups supported by more than 120 incubators.

The programs from the Ministry of Communication and Digital such as Beta School, the National Movement of 1000 Digital Startups, Startup Studio were also held which aimed to strengthen the capacity of startups so that they could compete in the global market.

Nezar noted that the success of digital transformation requires synergy between the government, private sector, academics, and state-owned enterprises to create a resilient ecosystem.

"With solid collaboration, Indonesia has the opportunity to become a leader in the global digital economy in 2038 and achieve the vision of 2045 Golden Indonesia," concluded Nezar.
