On the same occasion, Chairman of Kadin Sultra, Anton Timbang, explained that the implementation of this year's Rapimprov is one of the preparations for the implementation of the National Leadership Meeting (Rapimnas) and is a place to unite the commitment of regional administrators in reviving the regional economy. In the Rapimprov, Anton said, several agendas were discussed, such as the book review "Indonesia Emas 2045 Roadmap".

"Through this Rapimprov, they (Kadin) dissected the economic outlook of Southeast Sulawesi. It becomes our material to solve economic problems that affect Southeast Sulawesi," said Asrun Lio.

Asrun Lio hopes that Kadin Sultra will continue to be a partner of the Government in order to develop the region, one of which is controlling the inflation rate.

For example, related to inflation, in which areas there are rising prices, Kadin and the Provincial Government can intervene in the market to control it," Asrun Lio concluded.
