Text A, Paragraph 1
With a population of 273 million people, Indonesia is the 4th largest country in the world, recently emerging out of the COVID-19 pandemic with growth accelerating to 3.7% in 2021. This growth is forecast to reach 5% by the end of 2022, a return to pre-pandemic levels. Indonesia’s president, in power since 2014, has implemented what is hoped to be a bold new package of economic reforms, coined the ‘going for growth plan’. Included within this package are measures aimed at increasing global competitiveness, creating new jobs, and educating one of the world's youngest workforces. With GDP per capita (US$ PPP) steadily rising to 11,555 in 2021, the population on average is becoming richer. Opponents of the current government, however, point to the slow progress in improving inequality and poverty across the economy.
