automotive industry, and the potential to keep growing."
Further, he stated, through a world-class event such as GIIAS,
supporting industries that utilize vehicles in their daily
operations, and the society at large, would also benefit. "There
are so many new technologies being launched at this exhibition, and
we hope that these will all contribute to advancing supporting
industries," he continued.
"Certainly the advancement of an industry will have positive impact
for adjacent industries, and with support from the Ministry of
Industry and the Ministry of Trade we hope that this exhibition
will contribute to strengthening and developing Indonesia's
automotive industry, and can also have an even larger multiplier
effect in stimulating our national economy in a positive way."
Kalla suggested that the strength of the auto industry reflected
the progress of a society's trade policies and aggregate income.
"The increase of automobile sales signifies a society's welfare.
We're encouraging everyone, including industry, to take advantage
of the tax amnesty that the government is offering. We hope that
GIIAS can improve our technologies and economic patterns to be
healthier for all of us," concluded the Vice President.
