To improve the Islamic economic and financial sector, it is necessary to develop technology-based infrastructure and digitalisation, and enhance cooperation between the government, the community, and businesses, he said.
Indonesia planned to launch a master plan for developing its halal industry and halal industrial estates (KIH) to optimise the Islamic financial economy through the application of financial and non-financial incentives such as halal certification in KIH, and providing certificates and finance for sharia businesses to develop and elevate their business./.
