For example, Mr Joko said, his administration had cut to 58 from 259 the permits required for power plant investments, but that was still too many and he wanted the figure cut to five.Aides have said Mr Joko will pursue bolder economic reforms in his second term, which runs until 2024.
However, some analysts question whether he will be prepared to take on powerful vested interests and shake up a huge bureaucracy that often manages to blunt reform efforts.Still, Mr Joko warned government agencies they could not stick to business as usual, at the risk of missing the 2045 target and trapping Indonesia as a middle-income country.
Achieving the target demands average annual economic growth of about 5.7 per cent, exceeding the last few years' figure of about 5 per cent. "In the next five years, I do not have any burden," Mr Joko added."I cannot run again. So anything that is the best for this country, I would do." -
