Jokowi deemed that investors were reluctant to invest in the archipelago due to issues on the investment permit. For example, the trade war between the United States and China triggered furniture business departed from China and entered Vietnam.

“Why did they enter Vietnam, while the wood, rattan, bamboo are from us? What is wrong with Indonesia?,” Jokowi questioned.

Besides, Jokowi continued, the export on Indonesian rattan, wood, and bamboo to the US only amounted to 3 percent, but Vietnam controlled the sector at 16 percent.

“We have many raw materials. So this must be fixed. Otherwise, we will lose in the competition. Seizing investment and market are our responsibilities,” Jokowi underlined, adding that he would investigate obstacle prompting the low investment and export in the country.
