“How to keep a fast growing economy green?”
H.E. Arif Havas Oegroseno, Ambassador of Indonesia to the Kingdom of Belgium,
the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg and the European Union

Asia is rising rapidly amidst crisis in Europe and the United States. The global economic's centre gravity is once again shifting to Asia. The Asian Development Bank talks about the return of the Asian Century in the middle of this century. Standard Chartered published a special report on 15 November 2010 entitled "The Super-Cycle Report". which contends that "the balance of the world economy will reverse, with the combined share of the US, the EU and Japan shrinking from 72% in 2000 to 29% in 2030". Indonesia will be the region's star performer; the 28th largest economy in 2000, it may be the world's 10th largest in 2020 and fifth-largest in 2030 with $9.3 trillion dollar GDP". With current growth of 6.5 percent, such prediction could indeed be the reality of the year 2030 for Indonesia. One of the critical question would be whether such growth is a growth of brown economy or green economy. Key is whether such growth is at the expense of the environment or is a growth that is sustainable and does improve human well being and social equity. These are valid questions to pose on how Indonesia, the archipelago of 17508 islands, home to 240 million people and the world's richest biodiversity, humming on 6.5 percent growth can keep its economy green.

The lecture will be introduced by Prof. Dr. Jo Swinnen, Director of Licos Centre for Institutions & Economic Performances, and will be concluded by an open question and answer session.

Wednesday, 10 October from 11 a.m. till 12.15 p.m.

Promotion Hall
Main University Halls
Naamsestraat 22
3000 Leuven

The lecture will be in English 

Please register by October 6
