JAKARTA, Investortrust.id — Chairman of the Indonesia Chamber of Commerce and Industry Anindya Novyan Bakrie calls for unified action across the business community to navigate domestic volatility and keep investor trust intact, closing a virtual meeting with the chamber’s extraordinary members on Monday, Sept 1, 2025, in Jakarta. He says the agenda is to consolidate business input for the government while coordinating security and information flows so companies can plan operations with clarity and avoid rumor-driven disruption.
Kamar Dagang dan Industri Indonesia (Kadin) said it would compile feedback from national associations and provincial chambers into a sharp, actionable narrative for policymakers. “Aspirasi ini akan kami sampaikan kepada Presiden dan pimpinan pemerintah agar kebijakan yang diambil sejalan dengan kebutuhan pelaku usaha,” Anindya said, noting the document would focus on practical measures to support investment and industrial continuity.
Kadin also emphasized that maintaining calm on factory floors and logistics hubs required close coordination with law enforcement. The chamber planned audiences with the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI), the National Police (Polri), and regional governments to ensure clear lines of communication on security risks and to keep industrial centers operating safely.
Anindya said the move aimed to dispel misinformation and signal a united front between business and the state. He added that collective engagement would help firms assess near-term risks more accurately and keep investment decisions anchored in fundamentals rather than sentiment.
“We needed to hear concerns about security and about what might come next,” he said, explaining why the chamber would meet with the law-enforcement community and local officials. “This is also a signal that Kadin Indonesia, together with associations and provincial and district/city chambers, is concerned about security.”
Kadin further encouraged companies to proceed with investment and trade plans despite temporary work-from-home advisories in some areas. The chamber said manufacturing must continue with proper safeguards in place for workers and facilities, stressing that predictability mattered for order books and supplier commitments.
To cushion households and dampen price spikes, Kadin said it would work with the Ministry of Home Affairs to expand affordable market programs, including discounted rice sales, as part of a broader effort to stabilize expectations and demonstrate the private sector’s tangible contribution to society.
The chamber said more than two hundred associations took part in the virtual meeting, a turnout Anindya described as proof of a shared voice within the business community. He said Kadin would also seek meetings with the Investment Minister and other senior officials to ensure investor communication stayed consistent and credible.
“We must make sure that government and business truly control the situation so the signal of confidence remains intact,” Anindya said, underscoring that clarity from authorities and a disciplined message from industry would help calm markets and sustain capital spending.
