JAKARTA - The Ministry of Industry continues to spur the domestic electronics industry to be able to expand its export markets, including to non-traditional countries. This strategic step is in line with the government's determination to immediately improve the trade balance deficit so as to strengthen the structure of the national economy.

"Export activities are believed to have a positive impact on the country's economy. Therefore, efforts to increase capacity and capability in the industrial sector are needed," said the Ministry of Industry's Electronics and Telematics Industry, R. Janu Suryanto when PT Panasonic Manufacturing Indonesia (PMI) AC products was released to Nigeria in Jakarta on Wednesday (19 / 2).

The Ministry of Industry, as an industry adviser, gave appreciation to PT PMI for realizing its commitment to expand the export market and continue to add new shipping destinations, especially for AC products. This indicates that the country's industrial production has been able to compete internationally.

As an information, PT PMI has succeeded in relocating the production of AC type 2 PK and 2.5 PK from Malaysia last year. AC products exported to Nigeria are type 1 PK to 1.5 PK and 2 PK with R32 refrigerant base.

The Ministry of Industry noted that the overall export value of electronic and telematics products reached USD7.8 billion during 2019. The 10 main destination countries were Singapore, the United States, Japan, Germany, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand, and The Philippines. (LM)
