Four #Indonesians wealthier than poorest 100 million: Oxfam Published Oxfam said that President #JokoWidodo had failed to fulfil pledges to fight inequality and called on the government to urgently increase spending on public services and make corporations and the wealthy pay more tax. #Indonesia has enjoyed an economic boom that has reduced the number of people living in extreme poverty but the gap between rich and poor has risen faster than in any other South-east Asian country in the past 20 years, the #Oxfam study said. "The widening of the gap between the #rich and the rest is a serious threat to Indonesia's future prosperity. If inequality is not tackled, then reducing poverty will be much more difficult, and social instability could increase." In 2016, the collective wealth of the four richest Indonesians, all men, was US$25 billion (S$35.4 billion), Oxfam said. This was more than the total wealth of the 100 million #poorest, out of a population of 255 million, it said. According to #Forbes rich list, the wealthiest included three tobacco tycoons - brothers Michael and #BudiHartono, and #SusiloWonowidjojo. #riversstate #phcitytraffic #itsphc #stopthesootph #portharcourtcity #phcity #portharcourt #Lagos #abuja #Nigeria #westafrica #africa #world #regrann (at Port Harcourt)
