In Front of OECD: Kadin Affirms Commitment to Sustainable Growth
On January 19, 2026, a significant meeting took place at Boston Consulting Group’s London office, where the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) outlined its strategic program to support Indonesia’s sustainable economic growth during its accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Kadin’s Chairman, Anin Bakrie, emphasized the importance of active participation by Indonesian businesses in global economic integration processes rather than remaining passive observers. OECD accession is seen as a strategic path to enhance the nation’s credibility, competitiveness, and long-term growth.
Kadin plays a pivotal role in providing a liaison among economic sectors, ministries, and government bodies to coordinate actions for OECD accession. Particularly, there’s a focus on forming a private sector working group to oversee the implementation of relevant standards in investment, competition, corporate governance, responsible business practices, and environmental issues.
The economic partnership prospects between Indonesia and the UK were highlighted as a critical development strategy element. In the first half of 2025, the trade volume between the two nations reached $3.9 billion, marking a 12.2% increase from the previous year.
Government initiatives aimed at accelerating the OECD accession process are spearheaded by Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance as part of the ambitious ‘Indonesia Gold 2045’ agenda. Emphasis is placed on developing green jobs and introducing innovative financial tools that can support sustainable economic growth and job creation.
