Feeling proud Jokowi is not without reason. He compared Indonesia's economic growth with other countries. For example, Malaysia, which is said to be able to grow by 3.3 percent, the United States by 2.9 percent, South Korea by 1.4 percent, and the European Union by 0.1 percent.

"This is what we should be grateful for, we are still at the once again 5 percent."

"tegasnya." in English translates to "firmly."

Jokowi also assessed Indonesia's inflation rate, which is considered to still be within the normal limit at 2.6 percent. However, he advised that every level of his government should be able to take strategic steps.

"Inflation is also still relatively stable at 2.6 percent, just be cautious, especially for food, particularly rice."

The translation of the text "kata dia." from Bahasa to English while preserving any HTML tags is: "he said."

However, amidst the positive economic growth, Jokowi highlights the budgets of ministries or institutions and local governments that are still far from the target before the end of the year.

Jokowi also regrets the low realization of government budget spending until the end of November 2023. He routinely asks for explanations from Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati regarding this condition.

"The realization of regional government spending, if there are governors, regents, mayors, the realization of regional government spending even though it's only 3 weeks left is still at 64 percent. The central government is also at 76 percent," he said. "I follow and call about things like this almost every day. But not calling Governor (Bank Indonesia). I always call the Minister of Finance, what is the condition," said Jokowi."
