Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid highlighted the opportunities for digital growth in strengthening the domestic economy.
According to him, digital growth alone is not the true economic force. This is because he highlighted that while various regions have successfully recorded growth in their digital economies, the real value flows to digital platforms based outside those regions.
"So, large numbers don't automatically mean greater power. Therefore, in Indonesia, we are considering how to transform this growth into real power through two approaches," said Communication and Digital Minister Meutya while speaking at an economic conference.
Meutya stated that in driving growth, two approaches are needed, including value retention and economic value distribution . This involves ensuring a fairer distribution of digital economic value, with the value created remaining within the digital infrastructure and the domestic real economy, rather than solely being enjoyed by global platforms.
