The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) is the sole parent organization of the industrial and business world and a strategic partner of the government whose formation is based on law (UU), namely Law Number 1 of 1987 concerning the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This position is strengthened by Presidential Decree Number 18 of 2022 concerning Amendments to the Articles of Association and Bylaws (AD/ART) of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
“This July, it is exactly three years since I received the mandate as the General Chairperson for the management of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the 2021-2026 period. More than 70% of the main work programs formulated in the VIII National Conference in 2021 have been completed,” said the General Chairperson of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Arsjad Rasjid.
Deputy Chairperson of the Coordinator of Organization, Law, and Communication of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Yukki Nugrahawan Hanafi, also presented a flashback of the journey of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry from 2021 to this July when the parent organization introduced a new concept regarding an inclusive and collaborative Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 2021 was a challenging year for Indonesia due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
To that end, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry supports economic strengthening through various initiatives, including the implementation of the Gotong Royong Vaccine which has successfully reached more than 4.2 million doses and the establishment of Rumah Oksigen, the first semi-permanent health facility in Indonesia. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry also participated in the Glasgow Climate Change Summit at COP26 to promote global climate policy.
Moving into 2022, Kadin is strengthening its internal organization by perfecting its Articles of Association (AD/ART) which officially strengthens its position as the sole umbrella for the business world in Indonesia. The changes to the AD/ART were ratified directly by President Joko Widodo in Presidential Decree Number 18 of 2022.
Several concrete steps have been taken, including the Upgrading MSME Partnership Movement and the launch of Wiki Wirausaha to increase the number of entrepreneurs and MSME actors. Through this program, more than 600 MSMEs have received training to increase their capacity and more than 200 MSMEs have completed certified export training.
In 2023, Kadin launched the book, the Golden Indonesia Roadmap 2045 and handed it over directly to President Joko Widodo in the Indonesian Capital City (IKN). Entering 2024, Kadin began by holding a presidential candidate dialogue broadcast live on television. (Z-2)
