Takeaways

• 😀 Focus on reducing logistics costs from 14.3% of GDP to 10%, with a further goal of 8-9%. Lower logistics costs will stimulate economic growth.
• 😀 Hard infrastructure development, such as roads and transportation, has been significant in recent years, but soft infrastructure like digital integration and system tracking is now the priority.
• 😀 MRT project in Jakarta, though only 16 km, demonstrates how small-scale transportation infrastructure can significantly impact economic growth and cultural change.
• 😀 Key indicators of successful logistics systems include reduced costs, improved timeliness, and better reliability in transportation systems.
• 😀 Transit-oriented developments (TODs) and economic hubs around MRT stations are examples of how transportation infrastructure can boost local economies.
• 😀 A robust logistics system requires a skilled workforce; training programs, especially vocational training, are essential for developing skilled labor.
• 😀 The digitalization of logistics, such as an integrated platform for tracking and managing goods, is critical for improving efficiency in the logistics sector.
• 😀 The integration of private sector participation alongside government and state-owned enterprises (BUMN) is necessary for improving logistics infrastructure.
• 😀 Governance and culture around transportation services, such as MRT's focus on accessibility and reliability, should be replicated in other areas of the logistics system.
• 😀 Recommendations for national logistics infrastructure include revising the national logistics system (Sislognas), setting clear performance indicators, and fostering a more skilled workforce through training.
