 Thus GDP Growth more or less 5-5.5% -4

 If Indonesia wants to achieve 6% GDP growth: -8

-12
 I/GDP should be 6%x6.2%=37.2 %

 S/GDP=35%  S-I= 2.7% (current account deficit).

 To get higher growth:

1. increase domestic savings (S)

2. lower ICOR (improve productivity and efficiency)
3. Attract FDI

 Geographical condition (making transaction cost become very

high)

 Size of the country (making transaction cost become very high)

 Credit score (making monitoring cost become very high)

 Interest rate or access?

Some questions about the role of

government in the future?
 How fast can regulator catch up with innovations?

 Can government has an agile public policy?

 Can government has an agile fiscal policy?

 What government can do to mitigate the inequality: robot tax?

Training?
