TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Member of the Expert Council of the Habibie Alumni Program, Rony Mamur Bishry, has urged the government to brace for the effects of the policies implemented by the newly-inaugurated President of the United States Donald Trump in the next one year.
According to Rony, the government has to start thinking of new export markets if Trump implemented his protectionism policies.
"For exports, we have to think of the alternatives of our exports,” Rony said in Jakarta on Saturday (20/1).
In the meantime, Secretary General of the US Alumni Association Jimmy Rifai Gani said that the government should also be vigilant against the plan of the US central bank, The Fed that will increase its interest rate for three times this year.
Trump’s plan to abandon the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Jimmy said, will also change the constellation and structure of global trade.
