"We must begin to rethink whether the Asean Economic Community has benefitted Indonesia," said Mr Lahadalia, adding this was a rational debate and noting Britain's decision to leave the European Union.
The Asean Economic Community was established in 2015 to integrate the economies of its 10 member states. The group has had a number of free trade agreements as an economic block and is pursuing further integration in the broader economic sector as well as in political security and socio-cultural matters.
Referring to the coronavirus pandemic's impact, Mr Lahadalia said he was optimistic FDI would improve in the second half of 2020 and was praying for the outbreak not to worsen. In the second quarter, industries that received the most FDI included power, gas and water, base metals and transportation, warehousing and telecommunications.
Indonesia's coronavirus case count as of Tuesday was 89,869 with 4,320 deaths and President Joko Widodo has said the outbreak was not expected to peak until August or September.For daily updates on weekdays and specially selected content for the weekend. Subscribe to
