Indonesia's Digital Competitiveness Still Needs Improvement
Indonesia's competitiveness ranking in the digital sector has recently become a focus of attention for many parties. Based on the latest data, Indonesia's position in global competition has experienced a significant decline, triggering discussions regarding the readiness of technological infrastructure in the country.
One of the main indicators of concern is internet speed. Currently, the average internet speed in Indonesia is recorded at only about 28.9 Mbps. This figure is still far behind the global average internet speed, which has reached 138 Mbps.
This internet speed gap is considered a major obstacle to digital economic growth. Many observers assess that uneven infrastructure can affect business efficiency and the productivity of a society that is now highly dependent on online connectivity.
This condition also raises concerns among investors. The quality of adequate digital infrastructure is one of the main requirements for foreign companies to invest their capital in a country. Without rapid improvements, Indonesia risks losing its appeal in the eyes of international investors.
The government and internet service providers are expected to work together to accelerate the development of digital infrastructure. Improving the quality of internet connections is a crucial step for Indonesia to be able to compete again and support national economic growth targets in the future.
