Badung, Bali The agendas for Indonesia’s G20 Presidency will have a multiplier effect on the national economy, an official from the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment has said.

“Our national economy, social, and political sector would be directly, or indirectly, advantaged by the multiplier effect,” the ministry’s deputy for tourism and creative economy communication department, Odo RM Manuhutu, said at a media briefing on the G20 Summit in Badung, Bali, on Saturday.

Besides benefiting the local industry that could promote its products to delegates at the G20 events, the summit will also enhance the global community’s trust in Indonesia, he added.

“We expect the ‘Recover Together, Recover Stronger’ theme promoted for Indonesia’s G20 Presidency to reflect positive impacts presented by G20 events in the country,” Manuhutu remarked.

Indonesia’s G20 Presidency agendas will comprise more than 150 meetings and summits hosted in 18 Indonesian cities from December 1, 2021, to November 2022, with Bali designated as the main host, he informed.

Indonesia will focus on three strategic issues of digital transformation, healthcare, and post-COVID-19 global recovery while presiding over the G20, he noted.
