Belitung, 2-4 July 2023: The Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS), with support from the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), organised the first ASEAN Blue Economy Forum from 2-4 July 2023, in Belitung, Indonesia. The forum marked a significant step toward finalising the ASEAN Blue Economy Framework, which is set to be endorsed by ASEAN Leaders during the 43rd ASEAN Summit in September.

Indonesia's Minister of National Development Planning Suharso Monoarfa said ASEAN views the blue economy as a multifaceted cross-cutting concept in advancing economic prosperity and facilitating value-creation, resiliency, inclusivity, and sustainability. He stressed Indonesia's commitment to delivering the ASEAN Blue Economy Framework as one of its priority economic deliverables (PED) in 2023. He said 66% of the total Southeast Asian area is covered by seas and oceans, so without a doubt the blue economy will be ASEAN’s new engine of growth to improve people’s wellbeing and welfare.

SEJALAN dengan komitmen Indonesia dalam penerapan ekonomi biru, Kementerian PPN/Bappenas meluncurkan Indonesia Blue Economy Roadmap. Yaitu sebuah pedoman pelaksanaan ekonomi biru yang lebih kompetitif, inovatif, berkelanjutan, dan inklusif. Peluncuran tersebut dilakukan saat kegiatan ASEAN Blue Economy Forum di Belitung, 3-4 Juli. Sekretaris Kementerian PPN/Sekretaris Utama Bappenas Taufik Hanafi menegaskan, peluncuran Indonesia Blue Economy Roadmap menunjukkan, terutama bagi negara-negara ASEAN, bahwa Indonesia sudah siap dalam penerapan ekonomi biru.

Since achieving independence on Aug. 17, 1945, Indonesia has been enjoying significant improvements in almost all aspects of human life, from food security to health, education and infrastructure to people’s prosperity. Over that period, the country’s poverty rate has declined from 75 percent in 1950 to 60 percent in 1970 and then to 9.57 percent last year (Statistics Indonesia/BPS, 2022). However, after 78 years of independence, Indonesia remains an upper middle-income country with gross national income (GNI) per capita of US$4,580. According to the World Bank (2022), the GNI per capita of upper middle-income countries range from $4,466 to $13,845. It was therefore timely that President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo coined his admirable vision of Golden Indonesia 2045 on Aug. 16, 2019, during a House of Representatives plenary session.
