Sir, what were you referring to by saying to stay alert for next year in your explanation earlier?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)
Well, we need to remain optimistic and stay alert since it has been confirmed that we are facing global uncertainties. It is hard to calculate or predict. Therefore, we need to remain careful with policy. Do not let it disrupt investment activities, including exports. In terms of monetary policy, Bank Indonesia maintains it with prudence, which is good. We need it because the situation is not normal.
