President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has stressed that the government he leads pursues the vision of building a digital economy. One aspect of this is the reform of public services, which will be based on electronic platforms to facilitate and accelerate delivery.

Private firms in the digital economy ecosystem will be encouraged to play a leading role in development. On various occasions, the President has also stated his determination to make Indonesia the country with the largest digital economy in Southeast Asia. An economy based on digital technology is a smart way to simultaneously make progress on two key pillars of the five-pillar development program envisioned by President Jokowi: infrastructure and human resources. The development of infrastructure, including digital infrastructure, will increase the connectivity needed to facilitate trade and accelerate growth. These two things, in turn, will accelerate efforts to overcome poverty and increase public welfare.
