President Wants State-Owned Company Holding to be Decided Soon

In the opening of the closed meeting, he said the implementation of the holding would be the first step towards creating a state-owned enterprise (SOE) that was strong, agile, and brave in facing an era of competitive competition.
“Be it in the form of superholding or holding, or starting first with virtual holding. This must be decided immediately so that the SOE's strength and agility may be immediately carried out, especially in facing the AEC,” he said at the Presidential Palace Complex on Monday (29/2/2016).
With that, he said SOEs could become the locomotive of economic growth by giving the maximum multiplier effect for the prosperity of the people.
In addition, Jokowi said this method could make domestic SOEs not only strong within the country, but also able to achieve in international competitions.
“In addition to restructuring and focusing on business, a total change in work culture in SOEs is also needed; I am certain we have competitiveness,” he said.
Previously, in a copy of the document from the Ministry of SOEs obtained by Bisnis, it was preparing around 15 SOE holdings in the period of 2015-2019 as an effort to make SOEs the front line in national development.
The SOE holdings that were prepared include the sectors of tourism, logistics, food, plantations, fertilizer, pharmaceuticals, ports, construction and infrastructure, connectivity, mining, strategic defense, reinsurance, heavy industry, general insurance, banking, and survey services.
