Kalimantan Timur's Per Capita PDRB is Rp 182 Million per Year, Second Highest in Indonesia

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is scheduled to make a working visit today, Monday (March 14, 2022), to the ground zero of the new capital city (IKN) Nusantara, located in Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan.

East Kalimantan is the second richest province in Indonesia after DKI Jakarta. This can be seen from the high regional gross domestic product (GRDP) per capita in the province led by Governor Isran Noor, which ranks second after Jakarta.

Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded that East Kalimantan has a GRDP per capita at current prices (ADHB) of Rp 182.54 million per year. This value is far above the national GDP per capita, which is only Rp 62.24 million per year.

Measured at constant 2010 prices (ADHK), East Kalimantan's GRDP per capita grew by 1.08% to Rp 127.17 million per year. This achievement is better than the previous year, which experienced a contraction of 6.4%. However, this achievement is still below the national GRDP per capita, which grew by 2.51% last year.

In terms of value, East Kalimantan's GRDP per capita at current prices (ADHB) last year was the highest in the last 11 years. Meanwhile, East Kalimantan's GRDP growth in 2013 recorded the highest growth, namely 7.72%.
