[Jakarta 20th Reuters]-Re-elected Indonesian President Joko swore on the 20th inauguration ceremony on the 20th. The term of office is 5 years. The new minister announced that he would nominate on the 21st.
In the presidential election, economic issues were the main issue, but also reflected the expansion of the influence of Islamic conservatives. The ceremony was tightly guarded following a recent student demonstration and an incident in which a cabinet member was stabbed and injured by a man who was believed to be an Islamic extremist this month.
Joko gave a speech at the parliament after the ceremony and appealed for the creation of employment opportunities. He said he would increase gross domestic product (GDP) to $ 7 trillion by 2045, making it one of the five largest economies in the world. They also decided to advance two bills in order to revise laws that impede job creation and improve the discipline of civil servants.
The Indonesian economy is expected to decelerate for the first time in four years this year, and there is a voice that expects further deceleration due to the global economic slowdown.
