“This industry (furniture) is growing quite healthily, but the trade surplus is shrinking. Why? Because there are also imports coming into the domestic market. So, here we were discussing what deregulation or incentives could be done,” said Anindya after meeting Purbaya at the Ministry of Finance, Central Jakarta, quoted from

.
The man who is familiarly called Anin also highlighted the pressure on import tariffs imposed by the United States (US) of 32 percent.
Moreover, Uncle Sam’s market absorbs around 54 percent of Indonesia’s total exports of furniture and crafts.
Finally, entrepreneurs claim to be actively diversifying exports to non-traditional markets.Delivery of furniture items is now targeting other regions, such as the European Union and Canada.
Deputy General Chair Coordinator for Human Development, Culture and Sustainable Development of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Shinta Kamdani also highlighted obstacles in the electronics sector.
Shinta said the export market for the electronics industry is even more limited.Several entrepreneurs are said to have entered the semiconductor sector, but are hampered by human resources (HR) issues.

“We also discussed the possibility of cooperation, bringing technology as well, what the training would be like if the investment was to come in, we want to develop it, we need the workforce. So, that is also a concern and what incentives can be given for the development of this technology,” explained Shinta.
Separately, Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa shared a moment of a closed meeting with Indonesian Kadin entrepreneurs on his Instagram account @menkeuri.He did not reveal the contents of the chat.
