Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Candidate pair number 1, Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar, believe that the inequality between the rich and the lower middle class must be resolved. Therefore, this couple initiated efforts to increase taxes on the rich.
In the vice presidential debate last weekend, Muhaimin argued that the government should be able to increase tax revenues from rich people in Indonesia more massively. Meanwhile, the government can simultaneously reduce taxes for the lower middle class.
“We must have confidence, we will tax these 100 rich people, at the same time as lowering taxes on the middle class in Indonesia,” he said in the second debate in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres) which was specifically for vice presidential candidates (cawapres), at the Jakarta Convention Center ( JCC) Friday (22/12/2023).
The assets of the 50 richest people in Indonesia
Earlier this month, Forbes Magazine just released a list of Indonesia's richest people for 2023. In the last year, the total wealth of the 50 richest tycoons in Indonesia recorded fantastic growth, namely increasing by 40% to IDR 252 billion or the equivalent of IDR 3,906 trillion (assuming an exchange rate of IDR 15,500/US$) from the original US$ 180 billion (Rp. 2,790 trillion).
This means that the wealth of Indonesian conglomerates increased by 1,116 trillion in one year. As a result, half of RI's tycoons found themselves richer than the previous year's record.
The soaring wealth of Indonesian tycoons was partly supported by the IPO boom in the Indonesian capital market, with some of the biggest making significant profits. These include Barito Renewables Energy (BREN) owned by Prajogo Pangestu and Amman Mineral International (AMMN) owned by the Salim, Agoes Projo and Panigoro Family companies.
The following are the 50 richest people in Indonesia in 2023 according to Forbes
1. Hartono Brothers
Even though their combined wealth only grew slightly to US$ 48 billion (Rp. 744 trillion), Robert Budi and Michael Hartono remained in first place.
2. Prajogo Pangestu
The most spectacular spike this year occurred in the petrochemical and energy company owned by Prajogo Pangestu. With his net worth increasing more than eightfold to US$ 43.7 billion (Rp. 677 trillion) – from $5.1 billion last year, Prajogo rose five places to No. 1. 2 for the first time. His two new IPO issuers, namely geothermal energy producer Barito Renewables Energy and coal miner Petrindo Jaya Kreasi, are the prima donnas of the capital market this year.
3. Low Tuck Kwong
Indonesian mining magnate Low Tuck Kwong also recorded a fantastic increase in assets this year. His assets more than doubled to US$ 27.2 billion (Rp. 421 trillion) due to his ownership in Bayan Resources (BYAN), Indonesia's third largest coal producer. Despite this, Low Tuck Kwong slipped to 3rd place, beaten by Prajogo's meteoric rise in wealth.
4. Widjaja Family
Even though they did not record major movements in terms of business or maneuvers in the capital market, the wealth of the family that owns the Sinarmas Group was still able to grow slightly to US$ 10.8 billion (Rp. 167 trillion).
5. Salim Family
Anthony Salim and family are one of the tycoons with the most diversified businesses. Its business spans from retail, consumer, finance, technology to mining and infrastructure. This year's wealth increased, in part, from the success of the IPO of the second largest copper mining company, Amman Mineral International (AMMN). His assets are recorded at US$ 10.3 billion.
