JAKARTA: The Indonesian government will develop a super application integrating all online services provided by ministries and state agencies, and require every family to have a bank account for timely distribution of social assistance, said Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, chairman of the National Economic Council.

President Prabowo Subianto is set to launch the GovTech (Government Technology) super app during the country’s Independence Day celebrations on Aug 17 this year, Luhut said on Wednesday (Mar 19), reported news outlet Jakarta Globe.

“The president wants to introduce GovTech as a centralised platform that will unify all ministerial and state agency applications, improving efficiency and reducing opportunities for corruption,” said Luhut after a meeting with the president and economic ministers at the State Palace in Jakarta. 

The president will be meeting hundreds of young web developers who played a crucial role in creating GovTech, he added.
