‘Up to 7% GDP growth if we have continuity’

OUTGOING President Joko Widodo said South-East Asia’s largest economy can attain its fastest expansion in three decades under the next leader, if they build on the reforms he’s trying to cement.

Jokowi, as the president is known, forecasts 6% to 7% gross domestic product growth by 2027 to 2028 as the country reaps the benefits of his policies that include an aggressive infrastructure rollout and the push for onshore processing of mineral resources.
