[00:01:00] large domestic market. We really
[00:01:03] hope that investors will truly
[00:01:06] see that we are very promising.
[00:01:09] Indonesia is very promising. This is also evident from what I
[00:01:13] mentioned earlier, downstreaming, right? From
[00:01:16] natural resources such as nickel, coal,
[00:01:20] and also agri-based products, for example
[00:01:23] palm oil,
[00:01:26] which is now bioethanol and so on. This is very,
[00:01:30] what, it has a lot of interested parties,
[00:01:34] especially from East Asian
[00:01:37] countries that are currently dominating in downstream processing.
[00:01:41] downstream,
[00:01:43] The economic relationship between Indonesia and Singapore also continues to develop. Singapore's
[00:01:47] selection as the Chairman of ASEAN 2027
[00:01:51] is expected to bring potential new cooperation to increase
[00:01:54] FDI flows in Indonesia.
[00:01:57] According to the Indonesian Ambassador to Singapore, Hotmangaraja
[00:02:00] Panjaitan, the cooperation between the two countries is clearly growing stronger,
[00:02:04] as seen in the leaders' retreat in early July. He
[00:02:08] explained that the diminishing land space in Singapore can be met with
[00:02:11] Indonesia, which offers economic industrial
[00:02:14] zones, thus creating opportunities for investment.
[00:02:18] Now, in this case, if we talk about Singapore, Singapore
[00:02:21] has an advantage in terms of
[00:02:24] financial capacity and expert personnel. We,
[00:02:28] Indonesia, have
[00:02:32] land, and land in Singapore is also starting to become scarcer, and we
[00:02:36] have a lot of land that is realized in special economic
[00:02:39] zones, and
[00:02:42] this is an attraction for Singapore
[00:02:46] so that they don't always have to conduct their industries
[00:02:49] in Singapore but can also do so in these
[00:02:53] special economic zones.
[00:02:55] Data from 2025 shows that ASEAN continues to strengthen
[00:02:59] economic integration and connectivity amidst
[00:03:02] global uncertainty. ASEAN Economist UOBN Rico
[00:03:05] Tanwijaya assesses that the 14% year-on-year decrease in
[00:03:09] FDI flow in 2025 reflects an adjustment of
[00:03:13] global investment strategies rather than a weakening of
[00:03:16] Indonesia's economic fundamentals.
[00:03:19] According to him, Indonesia still has long-term attractiveness supported by a large market,
[00:03:22] a productive working-age population, and an ongoing
[00:03:26] structural reform agenda. So maybe
[00:03:29] we are seeing a slight decrease,
[00:03:33] not significantly, but perhaps investors are reassessing
[00:03:37] which sectors are worth looking at for the long term.
[00:03:40] But the message is that we remain optimistic that in the future, Indonesia will remain
[00:03:44] a key market and primary destination
[00:03:48] for foreign direct investment to
[00:03:50] enter. The ASEAN Conference 2026
[00:03:54] brings together the business community with policymakers from various
[00:03:58] countries to discuss ASEAN's economic growth
[00:04:01] opportunities through collaboration with government,
[00:04:04] industry players, and cooperation with the Ministry
[00:04:08] of Investment and Downstreaming PKPM. UOB Indonesia
[00:04:11] is optimistic that it can connect global investors with the industrial
[00:04:15] ecosystem and drive sustainable economic
[00:04:18] growth.
[00:04:21] From Sentosa Island, Singapore, Ifdal, Guntur Sri
[00:04:25] Wibowo, Metro
[00:04:26] TV.
[00:04:29] Viewers, it's time for us to listen to regional
[00:04:33] economic information in the regional
[00:04:35] blueprint segment.
[00:04:38] Trade Minister Budi Santoso stated that Indonesia's goods
[00:04:41] trade deficit in June 2026 of
[00:04:45] 0.45 billion US dollars was caused by
[00:04:49] a surge in global crude oil prices. According to Budi Santoso,
[00:04:52] the increase in global crude oil prices in March and
[00:04:56] April had an impact on the trade balance in May and
[00:04:59] June. He explained that without pressure from high oil prices, Indonesia's
[00:05:02] trade balance in that period actually still recorded
[00:05:06] a surplus. Nevertheless, cumulatively for the period
[00:05:10] January to June 2026, Indonesia's
[00:05:14] trade balance still recorded a surplus of around 4
[00:05:18] billion US dollars. The government is also
[00:05:21] optimistic that the trade balance will return to surplus as
[00:05:25] global crude oil prices stabilize. On the other hand, the government
[00:05:28] continues to maintain US market access through the Agreement on
[00:05:32] Reciprocal Trade or ART, because that country
[00:05:35] is still the largest contributor to Indonesia's trade
[00:05:38] surplus. The government will also encourage increased exports and investment
[00:05:42] to face the challenge of a weakening rupiah exchange rate and maintain
[00:05:46] national trade
[00:05:47] performance.
[00:05:50] in May and June? Because of high
[00:05:54] oil prices. Because previously, in March and April,
[00:05:57] oil prices peaked above
[00:06:00] 100, above 100. Whereas
[00:06:04] previously it was below 100. So actually, if we
[00:06:07] calculate the oil price figures for May and June,
[00:06:11] we had a surplus. That's why we
[00:06:14] are optimistic that if oil prices start to stabilize
[00:06:18] in June-July, the figures will only come
[00:06:22] out in July, so hopefully it will be a surplus for the month.
[00:06:26] But cumulatively for January-July, we are
[00:06:29] optimistic. Now, that AR is actually a big opportunity
[00:06:33] for us. We just have to have an agreement with the government
[00:06:36] because our market there is very large,
[00:06:40] as evidenced by the surplus. Don't
[00:06:46] let our exports be 30.9. Don't
[00:06:49] let the large market in America, the Wiraraja
[00:06:53] Industrial Estate, Madura International, officially establish strategic cooperation
[00:06:56] with Guangdong Agent Industrial Park from the People's Republic
[00:07:00] of China. This cooperation was carried out to strengthen
[00:07:04] regional supply chains and accelerate the relocation of manufacturing investment
[00:07:07] at the foot of the
[00:07:08] Suramadu Bridge.
[00:07:11] The industrial estate
[00:07:14] in China, some of its clusters
[00:07:17] that can no longer be in China
[00:07:21] will move to Madura. So
[00:07:24] a cluster whose government
[00:07:27] no longer allows factories to operate
[00:07:30] there will move as
[00:07:32] one cluster. The signing of the agreement, which took place
[00:07:36] at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs office in Jakarta, was witnessed directly by the
[00:07:40] Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Erlangga. This partnership
[00:07:43] enhances investment connectivity in Bangkalan
[00:07:46] Regency, with an initial focus on polyester industrial clusters,
[00:07:50] household equipment, and labor-intensive sectors. The receipt of
[00:07:53] cluster-based investment is expected to absorb labor
[00:07:56] and drive the MSME ecosystem in East Java.
[00:08:00] The entry of cluster-based investment is projected not only
[00:08:03] to strengthen global supply chains but also to boost local MSME
[00:08:07] growth and absorb thousands of workers
[00:08:09] on Madura Island.
[00:08:45] What is certain is that the industrial
[00:08:48] estates in China, some of the clusters
[00:08:52] that can no longer be in China
[00:08:56] will move to Madura. So
[00:08:59] a cluster whose government
[00:09:02] no longer allows factories to operate
[00:09:05] there will move as one cluster to
[00:09:08] Madura. What is certain is that Indonesia's
[00:09:12] potential is still full of opportunities. As the owner
[00:09:15] of the industrial estate, we continue to expand
[00:09:19] the industrial estate. However, as you all
[00:09:22] know, there are obstacles that need to
[00:09:26] be synchronized between the regional government and the central government,
[00:09:30] but I believe that we can overcome that,
[00:09:33] and God willing, Indonesia will
[00:09:36] still be a destination for investment.
[00:09:40] Purbaya's finances. The government extended
[00:09:44] the placement and surplus budget (SAL) of
[00:09:47] 200 trillion rupiahs in state-owned banks (Himbara) until
[00:09:51] July 2027. Previously, these funds were planned to
[00:09:55] be withdrawn at the end of
[00:09:56] 2026.
[00:10:01] Met in his office, Purbaya said the extension of the placement and SAL
[00:10:05] was done to provide certainty to banks and also to maintain
[00:10:09] liquidity so that credit disbursement can run more optimally.
[00:10:56] When I met the banks earlier,
[00:10:59] with the state-owned banks, I called them here earlier before meeting
[00:11:02] with Padunia this morning around 12 o'clock.
[00:11:05] It seemed like the banks were hesitant whether
[00:11:09] my original money would be withdrawn or not by the end of the year, which
[00:11:13] affected their behavior in disbursing
[00:11:15] credit. So I told them that I would extend the 200 trillion
[00:11:19] until July next year so they could freely
[00:11:23] disburse credit from that money. And the 100
[00:11:26] trillion until the end of the year, I also told
[00:11:30] them that this afternoon I would
[00:11:33] inject an additional 40 trillion next week.
[00:11:36] I will add another 30 trillion. So, in total,
[00:11:40] the government's money in the banking system is almost 400 trillion,
[00:11:44] as I promised before. This is to
[00:12:00] Which one do you want to choose?
[00:12:12] Every choice can be a game changer for
[00:12:15] today.
[00:12:22] Easy access, stay updated.

[00:12:32] Healthy: Diabetes remission does not mean permanent cure. What does that
[00:12:36] mean? I had a stroke and my blood pressure
[00:12:38] was 160. I had
[00:12:42] a blood vessel blockage. The changes I felt
[00:12:45] were that my blood pressure, cholesterol, and
[00:12:49] sugar levels were more stable, below normal. Watch the
[00:12:52] full discussion only on Go Healthy, the right way to
[00:12:56] live healthy. Thursday, August 6th,

[00:13:05] Afternoon. Viewers, DTI Series 2026 was officially opened at
[00:13:08] the Jakarta International Convention Center Senayan on Tuesday
[00:13:11] morning. The largest digital technology exhibition lasted for 2 days,
[00:13:15] August 5th to 6th, 2026. Entering
[00:13:18] its fifth year, DTI Series 2026 presented four
[00:13:22] sub-events, namely DTI CX.
[00:15:37] In the Integrated Sharia Economic Ecosystem. This collaboration
[00:15:40] brings together many services ranging from AI-based digital
[00:15:44] asset management, real-world asset tokenization, to
[00:15:47] independent sharia ratings. In addition,
[00:15:50] this initiative also utilizes machine learning technology and
[00:15:53] plans to use the rupiah stablecoin
[00:15:56] IDRX as a transaction
[00:15:59] settlement instrument. The development of AI and blockchain
[00:16:03] is expected to expand the inclusion and efficiency of the national
[00:16:06] while still paying attention to governance and ethical
[00:16:09] responsibility. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Communication and Digital provides
[00:16:13] full appreciation and support for
[00:16:16] the initiative to adopt AI into the sharia
[00:16:19] economic ecosystem. Sharia principles are considered to strengthen
[00:16:23] the national AI governance framework, such as transparency,
[00:16:27] accountability, and an ethical foundation that is in line
[00:16:30] with laws and regulations and global digital economic
[00:16:34] developments through asset-based digital participation
[00:16:38] methodologies. We will now create an Islamic
[00:16:41] economic ecosystem, right? Here we have
[00:16:45] the Association of Islamic Economists,
[00:16:48] the Sharia Economic Community (MES), and
[00:16:51] there are also stakeholders. Now,
[00:16:54] if these synergize, it will definitely make an extraordinary
[00:16:58] contribution to this nation. That is
[00:17:01] what we hope for in the future, all potentials that can empower
[00:17:04] the ummah, we must synergize. So far, we have been big but
[00:17:08] scattered. Now, if we gather this into a
[00:17:11] force,
[00:17:14] the government, through the Ministry of Communication and Digital, gives
[00:17:18] full appreciation and support for the initiative
[00:17:21] to adopt AI into the sharia economic ecosystem. Sharia
[00:17:25] principles are considered to strengthen the national AI governance framework,
[00:17:28] such as transparency, accountability, and an ethical foundation
[00:17:31] that is in line with laws and regulations and
[00:17:34] global digital
[00:17:37] economy. This sharia actually
[00:17:40] strengthens the governance of artificial
[00:17:43] intelligence that we are currently building, where the principles
[00:17:46] of transparency, accountability, and also
[00:17:49] how AI programs
[00:17:52] or AI platforms, AI applications, can
[00:17:56] run based on a strong ethical foundation. Now,
[00:17:59] in the sharia economy, we find these
[00:18:02] things, and so it can become a complement
[00:18:06] that will strengthen the governance
[00:18:09] of artificial intelligence in our
[00:18:12] country and be adopted in various
[00:18:15] sectors, including
[00:18:30] drinking Neo Ultra Cup Gold. If needed, supplemented with Vitamin C,
[00:18:34] a combination of B complex vitamins, Vitamin E, caffeine,
[00:18:37] and zinc, which are needed to help maintain your
[00:18:40] body's immunity. Neo Ultra Cup Gold.
[00:18:43] The controversy of proving Febri's case, Thursday, August
[00:18:47] 6th. This Thursday in Go
[00:18:50] Healthy: Diabetes remission does not mean permanent cure. What does that
[00:18:54] mean? I had a stroke and my blood pressure
[00:18:57] was 160. I had
[00:19:00] a blood vessel blockage. The changes I felt
[00:19:04] were that my blood pressure, cholesterol,
[00:19:07] and sugar levels were more stable, below normal. Watch the
[00:19:11] full discussion only on Go Healthy, the right way to
[00:19:14] live healthy. Thursday, August 6th,
[00:19:17] 1:30 PM.
[00:19:24] Viewers, behind the stretch of hills in Sidamanik, Simalungun, North Sumatra,
[00:19:27] nature not only presents a captivating view, but also
[00:19:31] biodiversity and cultural heritage that are continuously
[00:19:35] processed by the community into value-added products,
[00:19:38] from honey to ulos fabric. Local potential grows into an economic
[00:19:42] driver while preserving regional identity.
[00:20:03] The cool mountain air and still existing forests.
[00:20:50] How do we create an educational park? So this
[00:20:53] is one of the markets we created in the educational park,
[00:20:57] which people used to say, 'Why would anyone want to go into ravines?'
[00:21:01] But I said this will become an iconic part of our
[00:21:05] village. Takoma's development is part of Bank Indonesia's
[00:21:08] efforts to build a tourism village ecosystem through
[00:21:12] MSME mentoring, strengthening local communities, and empowering
[00:21:15] the community. Various regional potentials are connected in one
[00:21:18] supporting economic chain. Indonesia is
[00:21:22] not only for individuals,
[00:21:25] but more for a territory,
[00:21:28] for a group that
[00:21:31] will expand
[00:21:34] employment opportunities. And
[00:21:37] to expand employment opportunities
[00:21:41] is not just about business opportunities,
[00:21:44] but also the entrepreneurial spirit of
[00:21:48] the youth. From natural wealth, the journey continues
[00:21:52] to Simalungun's cultural heritage. In the hands
[00:21:54] of artisans, every thread of ulos is not just
[00:21:58] woven into fabric, but also preserves a tradition that has
[00:22:01] been passed down through generations. To
[00:22:04] this day, Ulos Simalungun is still present in various traditional ceremonies
[00:22:08] and is part of the community's identity. This cultural
[00:22:11] value is what Elmin Damanik continues to preserve
[00:22:14] through Bahpison. The distinctive Simalungun
[00:22:17] motif is maintained, but presented in various products
[00:22:21] to reach a wider market. Through Bank Indonesia's
[00:22:24] assistance, Bapison continues to improve product quality,
[00:22:28] expand marketing, and open opportunities to penetrate
[00:22:30] international markets.
[00:22:33] We are more guided in our mindset, our
[00:22:36] mindset as winners, our mindset as
[00:22:40] businesspeople, not just weaving,
[00:22:43] weaving what is available or just
[00:22:46] selling. We must understand this business.
[00:22:50] We are currently in the process of understanding exports and
[00:22:53] its stages. We are currently
[00:22:55] undergoing training.
[00:22:59] In the eyes of fabric lovers, Ulos Simalungun not only
[00:23:02] has cultural value, but also is a work that has
[00:23:06] its own appeal. The products are good,
[00:23:09] and the models are not rigid, so young people can actually
[00:23:13] wear them every day, to the office, or for travel.
[00:23:16] I also asked earlier and it turns out that the ulos is authentic.
[00:23:25] It's originally from Simalungun, so it's authentic. From honey born in the middle of the forest to ulos woven with
[00:23:29] preserving tradition, Sidamanik shows that local wealth
[00:23:33] can grow into a source of prosperity.
[00:23:36] When nature, culture, and community empowerment go
[00:23:39] hand in hand, regional potential is not only preserved
[00:23:43] but also continues to develop
[00:23:45] to reach a wider market.
[00:24:51] for Special Crimes, Febri Adrian, is expected to enter a new
[00:24:54] phase. After the determination of suspect status, Febri's
[00:24:58] legal team stated that they will pursue legal action through a pre-trial motion.
[00:25:02] The public now awaits how the entire legal process
[00:25:04] unfolds. Guided by not
[00:25:08] accepting being named a suspect, Febri fights back in Cover
[00:25:12] Both Sides today at 1
[00:25:14] PM.
[00:25:24] Do you want to live healthy? Start here. Every
[00:25:28] day we greet you at
[00:25:30] home,
[00:25:34] providing education and
[00:25:36] solutions.
[00:25:39] Come watch and follow us to
[00:25:43] live healthier, full of spirit.
[00:25:47] Go healthy, Go healthy, the right way. Live
[00:25:50] healthy. I think many people have their lives
[00:25:53] turned upside down. People in this modern era spend
[00:25:57] hundreds of millions to billions of rupiah.
