Indonesia's Digital Transformation Score Has Consistently Increased Since 2018

Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) reports a consistent increase in the National Digital Transformation Index (TDN) score from 2018 to 2022.

Kominfo uses a scoring scale: Poor (D) 0-25 points; Fair (C) 25-50 points; Good (B) 50-75 points; and Excellent (A) 75-100 points.

The score in 2018 was 43.67 points. This increased to 44.83 points in 2019.

In 2020, it rose significantly to 47.14 points, and further to 48.40 points in 2021.

The latest data from 2022 shows a TDN score of 49.20 points.

This index increase occurred across all Indonesian provinces. Kominfo states this demonstrates progress in the government's efforts to develop national digital transformation.

DKI Jakarta achieved the highest score in 2022 with 66.18 points. West Java followed with 60.26 points, and Yogyakarta with 59.17 points.

In total, 60.53% of Indonesian provinces fall under the 'C' (Fair) classification; 39.47% are classified as 'B' (Good); and no provinces are classified as 'A' (Excellent) or 'D' (Poor).

Kominfo's analysis shows that provinces in western Indonesia have made more significant improvements in network and infrastructure aspects, as well as digital governance.

Meanwhile, central and eastern Indonesian regions have improved in network and infrastructure, but still face challenges in infrastructure accessibility and the utilization of digital technology to enhance productivity in both the business and government sectors.

The TDN index assesses the digital development gap in Indonesia by observing digital transformation progress in three stages: foundation, adoption, and acceleration. It also considers four digital pillars: digital infrastructure, digital government, digital economy, and digital society. A total of 104 indicators are used for the assessment.

Data collection spanned 38 Indonesian provinces, involving 25 ministries/agencies and private sector entities at the central level, 486 provincial-level regional government organizations (OPD), 3,800 households, and 1,520 industry players.
