Sumatra Is Very Opportunities To Seize The Portion Of Economic Growth From Java

Kanal Utama. Sumatra Island is believed to be able to capture a portion of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) nationally from Java. Sumatra still contributes 20 percent of national GDP below Java with a contribution rate of 58 percent.


"So that Java-Sumatra contributed almost 80 percent to almost the Indonesian economy. That's what people say is the gap between Java and outside Java, between the west and east. The western part is Java, Sumatra, Bali, "said Minister of National Development Planning (PPN / Bappenas) Bambang Brodjonegoro at the West Sumatra Governor's Office on Friday (11/23).


Bambang sees, until the year 2045, the contribution of economic growth from Java will slowly decrease. This is in line with the massive infrastructure development carried out outside Java, and the downstreaming of the growing plantation and mining industries. In fact, according to him, in the upcoming 2045 Sumatra Island has the potential to win 8 percent of the portion of GDP from Java.


"With existing natural resources, human resources and infrastructure. Sumatra can grow faster. Even if you want to reduce Java's contribution from 58 percent, 2045 to 50 percent. When the portion of Java is reduced, Sumatra is the one who will get the most abundance. The most logical relocation of development from Java is Sumatra, "Bambang explained.


Bambang said that since 2001 the government had tried to decentralize development from Java to the Outer Islands. At that time, Java contributed a portion of GDP of 56 percent from the national figure. However, after 17 years running, Java Island actually contributed more to the portion of GDP, which was 58 percent.


"Why is the portion of Java still high? Because economic decentralization has not yet occurred. Economic activity is still centered on Java and local economic activities have not yet grown, "Bambang said.


Bambang said that the local economic activities in question must be derived from economic policies taken by the regional government. According to him, the Regional Government has its own knowledge to choose which economic potential can be developed. This is related to the consumption sector which is still the main driving force of economic growth in the region.


"It means that maintaining purchasing power is mainly to maintain inflation. So the government always tries to monitor regional inflation, "he said.
