00:00Ladies and gentlemen,
00:02We are aware that
00:04in carrying out our responsibilities
00:06as a government agency,
00:08we are indeed
00:10dependent on the needs provided.
00:12However,
00:14in this uncertain
00:16global economic situation,
00:18it is important for every agency
00:20under the PKKW
00:22to take steps
00:24towards independence.
00:26I have stated this
00:28many times in the past,
00:30namely, to change
00:32the attitude of being forced
00:34to the cost center, to the profit center.
00:38However, I repeat this
00:40so that we
00:42can stay focused
00:44and find a way
00:46to be independent
00:48while maintaining our own interests
00:50and not too dependent on the
00:52profit of the state.
00:54The success of
00:56Kerkera has announced
00:58the number of
01:00interim benefits
01:02which is
01:04129 million rupiahs
01:06with
01:08an increase of
01:1082 million rupiahs
01:14or 168%
01:16compared to
01:18last year.
01:20It is a success for Kerkera.
01:22Let us give a round of applause.
01:24On this occasion,
01:26I am also proud of
01:28the efforts of Kerkera in
01:30various business opportunities
01:32related to the agricultural sector
01:34and urban development
01:36which has opened up
01:38sectors such as
01:40bio-economy,
01:42renewable energy,
01:44and also the export of
01:46source-based products.
01:48These sectors offer
01:50great potential
01:52for the development
01:54and expansion of the global
01:56economic community.
