Jakarta (VNA)ꦍ – The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) has launched a white paper on the proposed direction of economic development for 2024–2029 as the country has set a target of achieving an economic growth rate of 8% during President Prabowo Subianto's leadership term.
Kadin chairperson Arsjad Rasjid said the white paper is a strategic document prepared by Kadin as a guide and policy recommendation to achieve the economic growth.

Based on these projections, there are seven top growth themes that have the potential to contribute more than 80 percent of the estimated total GDP impact in 2024–2029 including health infrastructure, energy security, MSMEs, manufacturing, green and sustainable businesses, and food security.
