REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BEIJING--Indonesian Chief Economics Minister Sofyan Djalil said he was optimistic the country's economic growth target of 5.6-5.8 percent would be achieved this year.
"We have to be optimistic," Sofyan said here on Tuesday(27/1) after a meeting with Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang.
He said Indonesia has continued to improve the investment climate such as with simplification of licensing procedure.
"Yesterday we announced 'one stop service' for investors seeking license. A prospective investor needs only to deal with BKPM (Capital Investment Coordinating Board) for investment license," he said.
With improved investment climate, simple licensing procedure, competitive pay for human resources, many investors are expected to come to Indonesia, he added.
Investors are expected to come not only from China but also from other countries, he said.
He said Indonesia could also gain from Chinese economic slowdown.
Chinese economic slowdown, over capacity and deflation , provide an opportunity to attract Chinese investors even to move their industrial base to Indonesia, he said.
