Indonesian Vice President Ma'ruf Amin has said that the 2022 G20 forum in Indonesia could be used to present Islamic economics as a solution for supporting global economic recovery.
"The G20 can be used to offer the Islamic economy as a solution for an inclusive and sustainable global economic recovery," he suggested at the 2022 Halalbihalal and National Working Gathering of the Association of Islamic Economists (IAEI) here on Friday, which was accessed online from here.
He said the G20 can also further strengthen the synergy between Islamic economists to realize national and global economic recovery, and also achieve Indonesia's goal of becoming the world's leading halal production center.
Global economic recovery is still overshadowed by several risks on account of a number of extraordinary events, ranging from the climate crisis to wars that are disrupting the world's food and energy supplies and triggering record-high inflation rates in many countries, he noted.
However, Vice President Amin said that the Indonesian G20 Presidency could be used as a momentum for global economic recovery.
"Indonesia needs to collaborate with G20 member countries so that the global community can get long-term benefits in three priority sectors, including strengthening global health architecture, digital transformation, and energy transition," he added.

The Vice President emphasized that progress in the three priority sectors can only be realized if all elements of the Indonesian nation work together and encourage the growth of innovation.
"We must be able to create innovations and new ideas to facilitate global economic recovery," he said.
He also emphasized that all countries must work hard to help each other so that no country is left behind. This is, he said, in accordance with Islamic values, where when one recovers, then all recover.
As the country with the largest Muslim population, Indonesia must show that the Islamic economy is a solution for a just global economic recovery, which can be felt by all levels of society, he added.
