Strategic Review on Indonesia Development Plan for Creative Economy

Creative economy is the new age of economy in the world including Indonesia. In 2013 Indonesia creative economy indicated significant growth than previous years, but unfortunately in the next 3 years after (2014-2016), Indonesia creative economy indicated continuously decreasing. To solve the problem and to develop national creative economy sectors for next 8 years (2017-2025), Indonesia Government through interrelated ministries is preparing a new master plan for national creative economy development. Master plan will be issued as the president’s regulation and must be the national reference on creative economy development programs for all provinces and ministries. The problem facing now, how is the feasibility and the effectiveness of the master plan to address the all strategic issues on Indonesia creative economy development. Based on the conclusive research by mix method research, I conclude, that the Indonesia master plan for creative economy development mostly feasible and effective to address the all main strategic issues on creative economy development in Indonesia except for the industrial portfolio strategy of creative economy sectors. Indonesia government should prioritize and invest on the selected digital creative industry sectors, especially on movies, music and applications without leaving the main cultural creative industry sectors. They are culinary, fashion and crafts. Keywords: Creative Economy, Creative Industry, Master Plan, Strateg
