JAKARTA - Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) regarding economic growth in Indonesia is still a hot debate. Apart from economists, a number of parties do not trust the data released by BPS.

One of them is the Labor Party which doubts BPS data related to industrial improvement, especially the manufacturing sector. Head of the Presidential Communication Office (PCO) Hasan Nasbi, at the Kwarnas Building, Jakarta, Thursday, August 14, responded to data distrust from BPS regarding a number of growth in the economic and industrial fields in Indonesia.

According to Hasan Nasbi, if there are parties who do not trust BPS data, it must be shown with data, so that discussions or debates related to the data in question can be better.
