Yogyakarta Had the Highest Non-Food Expenditure in 2020

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded that Yogyakarta had the highest national per capita non-food expenditure percentage in 2020, reaching 60.83%. This was followed by Gorontalo (60.4%), DKI Jakarta (58.16%), Bengkulu (57.32%), and Bali (57.3%).

According to BPS, the percentage of non-food expenditure is one indicator for measuring the level of public welfare. The larger the non-food portion, the higher the public welfare. This is because people have more room for savings, investment, education, entertainment, healthcare, and more when the percentage of non-food expenditure increases.

Meanwhile, the majority of Indonesian provinces had a higher percentage of non-food expenditure compared to food expenditure last year. Only West Nusa Tenggara and North Sumatra still had a lower percentage of non-food expenditure compared to food expenditure, at 49.37% and 49.86% respectively.
