The Covid-19 pandemic affected the Indonesian economy not only nationally but also at the provincial level. This is evident in the changes to each region's gross regional domestic product (GRDP). Each province implemented stimulus measures to mitigate the impact.
According to projections by the Institute for Economic and Community Research at the University of Indonesia (LPEM UI), the provinces on the island of Java were the hardest hit. All provinces, except Yogyakarta (ranked 7th), were among the top five most affected.
LPEM UI observed that areas with high population density and heavy reliance on tourism were among the ten most severely impacted regions. Conversely, eastern Indonesian regions such as Maluku, West Papua, and Papua, were among the least affected.
