Chairman of Commission XI of Indonesia’s House of Representatives overseeing financial affairs, Ahmadi Noor Supit, on Saturday said that if the bill on tax amnesty is passed, it will bring many economic advantages.

He added that both the government and the people of Indonesia who keep their assets abroad, will benefit, NewsNow reported.

“Indonesian nationals who bring their money to the country will receive interest,” he added.

In the meantime, DPR Speaker Ade Komaruddin said that he wants to accelerate the process of deliberating and passing the bill. Ade also said that the tax amnesty bill is a priority.

Regarding the possibilities that a number of fractions which do not agree with the bill, Ade said that it cannot be concluded yet.

Meanwhile, Indonesian Industry Minister Saleh Husin believes that Indonesia is able to become an automotive hub of the world.

Saleh asked automotive companies to build more machine and component factories, instead of just building assembly plants.
