Indonesia to curb import of used shoes, clothes to protect MSMEs
15 Mar 23 1 min read
Through the ‘Proud of Indonesian Products’ movement, the government has issued a policy mandating 40-per cent spending on MSME products in goods procurement.
The policy could make national economic growth reach 1.85 per cent and create 2 million jobs without new investment, Statistics Indonesia (BPS) has estimated.
If similar efforts are made regarding household consumption, the national economic growth will improve further, the minister was quoted as saying by a news agency.
