PRESIDENT Joko Widodo (Jokowi) emphasized the importance of adapting to the digital era in marketing Indonesian products. This is in line with the challenges of unstable global economic conditions.
“The global economy is currently growing slowly, only around 2.6% to 2.7%. Apart from that, global inflation, which is estimated to reach 5.9%, is one of the biggest challenges faced by many countries,” said Jokowi, quoted from Between, Thursday (10/10)
Not only that, tensions resulting from conventional wars and trade wars have also worsened the situation with various trade restrictive policies taken by countries.

Apart from that, concerns about overproduction in China have also become a global issue, where cheap imported products from China are putting pressure on the domestic market, including Indonesia. In these conditions, the protection of local products is more important than ever.
Responding to these global dynamics, Indonesian companies are not remaining silent. One of them is CV Vies Indo Abadi, a company that has focused on the production of garment accessories since 1994.
This company is taking part in Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI) 2024 with the aim of expanding the reach of its products to international markets.

In facing global challenges, the active role of the government and local companies such as CV Vies Indo Abadi is very important.
By taking advantage of the digital era and international exhibitions such as TEI 2024, Indonesian products can continue to develop and strengthen their position in the global market, face pressure from cheap imported products, and maintain economic stability amidst global uncertainty. (Z-10)
