Vice Presidential Candidate number two, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, pledged that Indonesia's development will no longer be centered in Java.
He made this statement during the second 2024 Presidential and Vice Presidential Debate, themed "Economy, Finance, Investment, Taxation, Management of the State and Regional Budgets, Infrastructure, and Urban Development," held at the Jakarta Convention Center on Friday, December 22, 2023.
During the vision and mission presentation session, Gibran stated, "We will also continue the equitable development that is no longer Java-centric."
According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Java remains the region with the largest economy in Indonesia.
In 2022, Java contributed 56.48% to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
However, in 2022, Java's economic growth was at 5%, not as high as Maluku-Papua and Sulawesi, which grew at around 7-8%.
This indicates that, although the economic value of Maluku-Papua and Sulawesi is much smaller than Java's, there was significant economic growth in those regions in 2022.
