Sumedang: President Prabowo Subianto touted Indonesia’s potential to become the fourth-largest economy in the world, surpassing the likes of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.
 
“Global experts have predicted that within 25 years, Indonesia will become the world’s fourth-largest economy,” he said during a speech to 1,204 graduates of the Institute of Home Affairs Governance (IPDN).
 
He highlighted the important roles they would play in Indonesia’s development, stating: “In 25 years’ time, you will be the ones running the government. You must seize the opportunities before you, and perhaps one day, it will be you standing at this very podium.”
