Bima emphasized that the direction of regional economic development must align with the grand vision of Golden Indonesia 2045. Therefore, regional governments need to ensure that economic growth is inclusive, equitable, and provides benefits down to the lowest levels of society.
"Our main narrative is inclusive economic growth, that's the point. Remember, ladies and gentlemen, there's the word 'inclusive', which means, as the President often says, not just pursuing economic growth without trickling down, without achieving equality," Bima said.
These efforts are necessary so that economic growth is not only reflected in statistical figures, but also has a real impact on society.
Bima made this statement while speaking as a keynote speaker at the 2026 Regional Economic Acceleration Forum for the Sumatra Region in Medan City, North Sumatra.
The forum held by the Ministry of Home Affairs carried the theme "Strong Regions, Sovereign Indonesia".
