resident Joko "Jokowi" Widodo is set to lead a set of activities to introduce the tax amnesty program in Medan, North Sumatra, on Thursday. This is the third event in the President’s nationwide campaign to directly promote the long-awaited tax amnesty program.
Finance Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro, Bank Indonesia Governor Agus Martowodojo, Financial Services Authority (OJK) chief Muliaman Hadad and State-Owned Enterprises Minister Rini Soemarno are also scheduled to attend the tax amnesty campaign event.
Last Friday, Jokowi led a tax amnesty campaign event in Surabaya, East Java. During his speech, Jokowi called on all Indonesians to contribute to the development of the country by participating in the tax amnesty program.
"People who have money abroad will declare their wealth, which will be repatriated. This is a competition among countries. This is our chance to contribute to development in the country," Jokowi told businesspeople attending the event.
Apart from attending the tax amnesty campaign event in Medan, Jokowi is also scheduled to inaugurate Sultan Taha International Airport in Jambi. The new terminal is a pilot project for the development of small airports across Indonesia. The president is also scheduled to attend the celebration of the 69th National Cooperatives Day. (ebf)
