The HSBC Summit 2022 hosted its annual forum on September 14, presenting national and international speakers including government officials and industry players from various key sectors. Efforts to mitigate global temperature rise and reduce greenhouse gas emissions are actions lined with the Paris Agreement, in which the climate change mitigation policy will ultimately affect private companies from various industries. The summit highlighted topics on transitions to a low carbon economy, challenges in mitigating climate change, and seeking solutions to finance and invest in a low carbon economy.

On September 9, the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Indonesia invited EuroCham to participate in an active focus group discussion for their ongoing research study at the CSIS office in Gedung Pakarti Centre. EuroCham was represented by Harimurti Listianto, Deputy Head of EuroCham Pharmaceutical & Medical Technology Working Group and Government Affairs Head at PT Anugerah Pharmindo Lestari.

The discussion was solely focused on the impact of local content requirement policies (TKDN) in the private healthcare sector, delving deeper into the direction and gradual implementation of the policy, and formulating alternatives to ensure investments in the sector. The result of the study will be used to propose policy recommendations to the government, which aims to support industrial development for economic growth.

We would like to thank CSIS for the fruitful discussion and hope to contribute to their studies in an effort to strengthen competitiveness among sectors.
