During our visit to Bank Indonesia, we were given material on the Central Bank and Monetary Operations by the Bank Indonesia Communication Department. In addition, as a closing activity at Bank Indonesia, the committee of the 2019 Economic Development Summit read out the announcement of the winners of the Scientific Writing Competition and Debate Competition. The winners of the Scientific Writing Competition included Universitas Airlangga as the 1st Place, Semarang State University as the 2nd Place, and UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta as the 3rd Place.

          The Scientific Writing Competition that we participated in was organized by Syarif Hidayatullah University Jakarta, The event was held on November 11-14, 2019. Our motivation to participate in the competition was to gain experience, increase knowledge and also to be able to bring a good name Universitas Airlangga. By participating in the event we can gain knowledge through other participants who also participated in the event so that later we can use the lessons for the future when participating in other scientific writing competitions. In participating in the event, of course, our hope was to become the 1st winner and when the announcement arrived, Alhamdulillah, our team became the 1st winner in the competition. Of course, we are very proud because our hard work has paid off. Hopefully, other friends from Universitas Airlangga , especially the Faculty of Economics and Business, can also bring a good name by participating in similar competitions.
