TKN Fanta Commander, Arief Rosyid Hasan confirmed that the development of sharia economy during the Jokowi-Ma’ruf era will be continued by Prabowo-Gibran. He stated that the potential of sharia economy in Indonesia reaches around Rp 4,000 trillion, but only about 10 percent has been leveraged.
“Investment in the sharia economy and finance sector is the most promising. Investing in the path of the sharia economy and finance is the most correct choice,” said Arief in a press release received on Monday (26/2/2024).
Arief believes that there is still 90 percent, or around Rp 3,600 trillion, that has not been optimized. This means there is a huge potential in various sectors such as fashion, property, zakat, infaq, shodaqah, wakaf, and banking.
“All financing in the sharia sector can be much bigger. So, while all financing in the sharia sector is growing, of course, the downstream businesses will also develop,” said the man who once served as Commissioner of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI).
Moreover, as the Chairman of PB HMI Period 2013-2015, he believes that the vision of Indonesia Maju Prabowo-Gibran cannot be achieved if the sharia economy and finance do not grow.
“So, with Indonesia Maju, our economic growth can reach 6-7 percent, and hopefully in the future reach 10 percent,” Arief optimistically stated.
