Sustained growth depends on the wealth accumulation and human development not by any particular sectors. Most of the developed countries dont have any automotive industry which does not mean they are not developed or industrialized. BD is a small country, so we dont need all the sectors or invest in everything. We should focus on the sectors where our strength lies. The biggest strength of BD is the GDCF (gross domestic capital formation) and demographic dividends. I dont see any reason that BD can not grow more than 7-8% for the next 10 years which is more than enough to take us to the upper middle income country of 7000 USD per capita. Then even if we can grow 5-6% we should not have any problem to become a high income country like Turkey.
From the bottom base level - there is no where to go but up....I concur 110%.
As i said before in other thread , Bd need to made progress in manufacturing and heavy industry to boots. Even till now Bd doesnt got proper automotive industry and must relying from importing items.
Well, aircraft industry is good to have but at least put a proper road maps to begin with, beside this news i dont see any articles or such from BD news outlet or the need from Airforce or Bd National flag carrier to order jigs and tools for assembly and major overhaul of aircraft. Not even Bd starting to build major repairing hangar at this moment.
Btw, the largest aerospace industry player in Indonesia by revenue and assets is actually not PTDI, but Garuda Maintenance Facility Aero. With annual revenue almost 500 million US dollar, thus GMF is leader in overhaul, maintenance and repairing Aircraft industry in ASEAN. The most successful services of them is to repairing and maintenance engines components and block.

I laud your brave effort to present a great progressive picture of Indonesia, but I have personally been to Indonesia (Jakarta) and have many close friends from there and speak passable Bahasa Indonesia as well. I know your culture closely, and have observed the ground reality from a Becak (rickshaw) driver's point of view on the ground.
There are teeming suffering millions in Indonesia just like there are in Bangladesh. You get past the main cities, situation is the same like Bangladesh....open sewers, slums....lack of living wage jobs, same deal.
There are many sectors in Indonesia that need a lot of improvement. To start with, your leader H.E. Joko Widodo should concentrate on the air transport sector, which is notoriously unsafe. It is all I think about when I travel in Indonesia. Typically I will try to fly Garuda only.
I know both our countries face issues - but its silly to brand one as marginally better than the other. It's like one beggar claiming that his shirt has less stains than the other beggar.
Indonesia's GDP may be higher but on the ground you would not really feel it's that much better except on some glitzy Jakarta thoroughfares, the income disparity between the have and have nots is a W..I..D..E chasm. I thought it is almost on par with how India is on non-inclusive development for women and minorities.
Indonesia is also a powder keg of differences just waiting to explode between multiple tribes and ethnicities.
Before claiming high tech aerospace honors like you've outlined, saving lives and basic steps needed to ensure air travel safety for the traveling Indonesians should come first. This is a friendly observation and not mudslinging.
