Ministry provides free counseling and guidance on quitting smoking

Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Health Ministry provides free counseling and guidance on quitting smoking to the public via the Quitline.INA number on 08001776565 or through the official WhatsApp number on 082125900597.”Those who want to quit smoking can receive counseling, guidance, and referrals if needed. This service will help anyone keen to quit smoking but unable to come to a health facility for a consultation,” stated Maria Endang Sumiwi, the ministry’s director general of public health, in Jakarta on Tuesday. Sumiwi remarked that the provision of services was based on the potential dangers of smoking, especially on the growth and development of children, as evidenced by research conducted by the Center for Social Security Studies at the University of Indonesia (PKJS-UI) in 2018. Findings from the study showed that toddlers living with smoking parents grew 1.5 kilograms less than children living with non-smoking parents. Moreover, 5.5 percent of toddlers living with smoking parents had a higher risk of stunting. She noted that smoking was also one of the obstacles hindering efforts to reduce Indonesia’s stunting rate, which remained at 21.6 percent until 2022, while the stunting percentage limit set by the World Health Organization (WHO) is only 20 percent. Sumiwi stated that based on data from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey, adults in the family spend an estimated Rp382 thousand per month on buying cigarettes. She suggested that in addition to contributing to the prevention of stunting through smoking cessation, the money spent on cigarettes could be allocated to provide animal protein sources, such as eggs, to children in order to prevent stunting. “I hope Indonesian families can allocate their spending and reprioritize it, not on cigarettes,” she emphasized. Meanwhile, Maxi Rein Rondonuwu, the ministry’s director general of disease prevention and control, said that the service was provided because the consumption of cigarettes and tobacco products had socioeconomic and health impacts. Data from the 2021 National Socioeconomic Survey stated that family spending on cigarette consumption was three times higher than spending on protein needs in the family, making spending on cigarettes the second-largest in the family and three times higher than the money spent on buying eggs. ccording to Rondonuwu, cigarettes constituted the second-largest percentage of family spending, reaching 11.9 percent in both urban and rural areas, which could have been used instead to consume nutritious foods such as eggs, meat, and chicken.

Expect Indonesia to become world food barn by 2045: Minister

Padang, West Sumatra (ANTARA) – Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo has said he is optimistic that Indonesia will become a world food barn by 2045 by utilizing existing natural resources with the help of technology.”We have quite a good land and nature. By using technology, we can plant from the coast, lowlands, to highlands,” he noted in Padang, West Sumatra, on Tuesday. He made the remarks while reviewing preparations for the XVI National Week of Indonesian Farmers and Fishermen (Penas Tani) in Padang. To realize Indonesia as a world food barn by 2045, all stakeholders must focus on determining a road map for the long term, Limpo stressed. He said his optimism is also based on policies issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, which, in the past three years, have succeeded in increasing national rice production. Currently, the Ministry of Agriculture is also focusing on a pilot project to plant soybeans through the application of machinery technology. ccording to him, Indonesia, especially its farmers, must gather the courage to change farming methods, as seen in a number of countries, by optimizing technology and machinery. Currently, the central government has tasked the West Sumatra provincial government, which has been appointed as the host of the XVI National Week of Indonesian Farmers and Fishermen, to conduct a pilot project on soybean seeds, which will later be expanded to all provinces. The minister said that the average size of onions and soybeans grown in Indonesia is relatively small, but the commodities have a better aroma when compared to soybeans from other countries. He further said he believes that if all parties work together, then the goal of realizing Indonesia as a world food barn by 2045 can be realized. “Let us achieve it. If we continue our food dependency, it will never end,” he added.

Minister outlines efforts for reviving aviation industry

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadihas outlined the government’s efforts to revive the national aviation industry post the pandemic at the 2023 International Civil Aviation Organization’s Global Implementation Support Symposium (ICAO GISS).One of the fundamental policies pursued by the government to survive the COVID-19 pandemic was to balance policies between controlling COVID-19 and keeping the economy moving, including aviation services. “As an archipelagic country, flight services cannot stop supporting connectivity and the sustainability of public activities,” he said as quoted in a statement received here on Tuesday. Sumadi, according to the statement, was one of the speakers at the symposium, which is held in Seoul, South Korea, andthemed “Working Together for an Innovative and Sustainable Global Aviation Community.” He informed that several policies were implemented by the government along with aviation stakeholders to realize safe, comfortable, and healthy flight services by implementing a number of health protocols. “As a result, in 2022, the national aviation industry began to improve and showed a positive trend,” he said. However, there are still several post-pandemic problems that must be resolved, such as the high public demand for aircraft services that is not balanced with the availability of aircraft fleets, he added. He emphasized that there are still many airports that need to improve their capacity and service quality. Therefore, he said he is hoping for global support and collaboration in the civil aviation industry through ICAO. The collaboration can be carried out in many ways, such as funding to support development that aligns with ICAO’s strategic goals. “For this reason, we are seeking to bolster partnerships with several countries. Given the limited capacity of the state budget (APBN), we open opportunities for cooperation through public-private partnerships,” he said. ICAO GISS is a conference of the global civil aviation community initiated by ICAO in collaboration with member countries. The 2023 ICAO GISS is being held in collaboration with South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport in Seoul from May 30June 1, 2023.

Ministries, institutions should work optimally for YDI target: VP

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Vice President Ma’ruf Amin called on government ministries and institutions to rev up their efforts to achieve the Youth Development Index (YDI) target of 57.67 percent by 2024.The vice president’s remarks were delivered during the ministerial-level meeting on cross-sectoral strategic coordination on youth service and Presidential Regulation No. 43 of 2022 regulating it at the Vice Presidential Palace here, Tuesday. “First, our Youth Development Index in 2020 was (recorded at) 51 percent, which declined from the 2019 score of 52.8 percent. Despite the slight decline caused by the pandemic, we must catch up with our losses since our 2020-2024 RPJMN (National Middle-term Development Plan) targets the level at 57.67 percent by 2024,” Amin stated. The vice president pressed to take into account the index related to the five domains of education, welfare and health, job opportunities, participation and leadership, and gender and discrimination. Citing the Statistics Indonesia (BPS) data, Amin noted that 65.82 million residents, or equivalent to 24 percent of the total Indonesian population, are classified as young in the age bracket of 16 to 30 years. However, the National Workforce Survey in August 2022 showed that the open unemployment rate among the youth had reached 13.93 percent, thereby translating to the fact that 14 out of every 100 young members of the workforce are not working. “The central and regional authorities should be mindful of this condition. We need strategic measures from the ministries and institutions to empower all potentials either by improving youth services activities, synchronization, and programs and researches on youth activities and other breakthroughs,” Amin explained. The vice president also called on government institution leaders to report their preparedness and commitment to supporting cross-sectoral strategic coordination of youth service organizations for the 2023-2024 period. “Hence, I urge Coordinating Minister (Muhadjir Effendy) to report the coordination result, in general, and Youth and Sports Minister (Dito Ariotedjo) to explain about the implementation of Presidential Regulation No. 43 of 2022,” he remarked.

S. Korea’s household debt to GDP at highest level among 34 economies

South Korea’s household debt-to-gross domestic product (GDP) ratio stood at the highest level among 34 major economies in the first quarter, global financial data showed Monday.

The ratio stood at 102.2 percent in the January-March period, followed by Hong Kong with a ratio of 95.1 percent, Thailand with 85.7 percent, Britain with 81.6 percent, the United States with 73 percent, Malaysia with 66.1 percent, Japan with 65.2 percent and China with 63.6 percent, according to the Institute of International Finance (IIF).

Korea was the only country whose household debt exceeded its GDP in the first quarter. But its debt-to-GDP ratio fell 3.3 percentage points from 105.5 percent in the same period of last year, the IIF data showed.

The Bank of Korea’s continued rate hikes last year helped keep the country’s household debt from rising further in the first quarter. The central bank raised its key interest rate by 3 percentage points since August last year to 3.5 percent in January.

But it was difficult to sharply lower the ratio, as some households took bank loans for investments and their living due to the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
