Previously, President Joko Widodo emphasized that Indonesia is a country capable of facing the current global economic crisis. This is supported by Indonesia's strong economic fundamentals.
President Jokowi explained that the world economy has not fully recovered at this time. The war that erupted between Ukraine and Russia also worsened the recovery conditions for COVID-19. So, food crises, energy crises, and financial crises were unavoidable.
