Indonesia’s President-elect Prabowo Subianto is setting his sights on becoming the world’s fastest-growing economy early in his term, with more aggressive spending to achieve food and energy self-sufficiency.
“I am very confident of achieving 8%” gross domestic product growth in the next two to three years and “determined to go beyond” that, Prabowo, who’s set to start his five-year term in October, told Bloomberg Television’s Haslinda Amin at the Qatar Economic Forum on Wednesday.
