Partnership to Overcome Inequality

The commemoration of National Cooperatives Day in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on July 12-15, 2017, has a special meaning for the national economy, which has been characterized by economic dualism between conglomerates on the one hand and micro, small, medium enterprises (MSME) and cooperatives on the other hand.
The national economy in the 1998 Reform era experienced three major problems: a conglomeration process with business integration from upstream to downstream under a single ownership, a high market share in strategic sectors, and a Gini ratio reflecting a wide gap in income per capita.
