In achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target, sustainable foreign investment is still very much needed for potential countries, such as Indonesia.
This was conveyed by the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto. He conveyed that investment is one of the significant means in moving the economy and encouraging recovery from the pandemic and can support efforts to achieve the SDGs targets.
“Sustainable investment is the answer to making global foreign investment more resilient from various future shocks and challenges,” said Airlangga citing a press release, Friday (18/3/2022).
It is known, the SDGs include four pillars of capital that are important in the post-pandemic economic recovery process, namely human, social, natural, and physical.
Indonesia and 192 other countries have committed to achieving the SDGs. One of the main agendas is sustainable economic development through the implementation of several predetermined targets. This is what is also encouraged in Indonesia’s G20 Presidency.
Moreover, the transition to a sustainable green economy presents a great opportunity and a great responsibility. Therefore, Airlangga hopes that with cooperation and active participation from all parties, economic recovery, investment in the green and blue economy, and SDGs can be accelerated to encourage sustainable economic development.
“We hope that with the active cooperation and participation from all parties, we can accelerate economic recovery and investment in the green and blue economy, as well as the SDGs to encourage sustainable economic development,” said Coordinating Minister Airlangga.
On the other hand, although investment is the most important, the private sector also cannot be separated in achieving the SDGs goals
UNDP Indonesia Representative Norimasa Shimomura emphasized the importance of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the vital role of the private sector in achieving these goals.
“Although the SDGs cannot be achieved without the active contribution of the private sector and vice versa, the private sector cannot continue its business practices without the SDGs, where the SDGs can create a supportive environment for sustainable business,” said Norimasa in his statement, Thursday (17/17). 3/2022).
