The Bali Provincial Statistics Agency (BPS) reported that Bali's Human Development Index (HDI) was 75.5 in 2020. This index grew by 0.16% from 75.38 in the previous year.
Although progress was made, the growth of Bali's HDI slowed. Bali's HDI growth reached 0.82% in 2019.
The slowdown in Bali's HDI growth was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which arrived in Indonesia in early 2020. Every country implemented restrictions on population mobility, so Bali, whose economy depends on tourism, experienced a significant economic impact.
The income of the population, a significant portion of which comes from the tourism sector, decreased. As a result, the welfare dimension, reflected in per capita expenditure, declined.
The adjusted real average expenditure was Rp 13.93 million per capita per year. This figure contracted by 1.53% from Rp 14.15 million in 2019.
