Indonesia seeks to strengthen halal value chains to boost GDP

JAKARTA, 29th August, 2026 (WAM) - Indonesia is seeking to strengthen its halal value chains to increase the halal industry's contribution to gross domestic product (GDP), Head of the Halal Product Assurance Organising Agency (BPJPH) Ahmad Haikal Hasan said.Haikal said about 27% of Indonesia's GDP was linked to activities in halal value chains in the third quarter of 2025, underscoring their role in the national economy."This shows that halal is not only about certification, but also makes a significant contribution to the national economy," he said in a statement, carried by Indonesian news agency (ANTARA).He said the halal industry should no longer be viewed mainly as a matter of certification or Muslim consumer needs, but as part of economic activity spanning production, trade, and investment."Halal should not only be understood as food and beverages. That is only a small part. There are still many halal opportunities and potentials that can be developed," Haikal said.He said strengthening the halal industry should go beyond increasing the number of halal-certified products and include production capacity, trade, investment, job creation, and product competitiveness.Growing global demand for halal-compliant products and services offers an opportunity for Indonesia, which has a large domestic market, diverse resources, and a growing number of businesses."Indonesia must not only become a market. We must become producers. We must use our potential to build industries, create jobs, increase trade and drive economic growth," he said.

Cryptocurrency trading in Russia may reach $46.43 bn

MOSCOW, 29th August, 2026 (WAM) -- Cryptocurrency trading volumes in Russia are not expected to exceed 4 trillion rubles ($46.43 billion) a year in the first year after legalisation and may reach around 7.5 trillion rubles ($87.06 bn) by 2029, Anatoly Popov, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Sberbank said."According to Finance Ministry data as of February, the daily volume of cryptocurrency transactions in Russia is around 50 bn rubles, or roughly 18 trillion rubles a year. SberCIB Investment Research analysts have a fairly conservative estimate: in the first year after legalization, around 20% of this volume, or 3.5-4 trillion rubles a year, will be traded on exchanges. This figure could rise to 4.75-5.25 trillion rubles by 2028 and to 7.5 trillion rubles by 2029," he told TASS in an interview ahead of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).Popov explained that the conservative forecast reflects the fact that a significant share of transactions will continue to be conducted through cryptocurrency exchange services, bypassing exchange trading. In addition, the law takes effect on September 1, but professional market participants have until July 1, 2027, to obtain licenses, meaning the market will not reach full maturity over the next year.The Eastern Economic Forum will be held on September 1-4 in Vladivostok on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University. The forum is organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Russian government. TASS is the general information partner.
