Indonesia IT Minister Plays Up Opportunities in Country’s Digital Transformation

(Bali, Indonesia) — Indonesia’s IT minister touted investment opportunities in the country’s digital economy as data showed that fewer than one-third of its smaller businesses have undergone a digital transformation.

A digital makeover can help the Southeast Asian country’s micro, small, and midsize enterprises (MSMEs) gain “resilience and opportunities” in the face of economic recession and pandemic restrictions, Johnny G. Plate, Indonesia’s minister of communication and information technology, told Caixin in an interview Tuesday at the Group of 20 (G-20) summit in Bali.
