JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of Bank Indonesia Ricky Perdana Gozali said that the future of DKI Jakarta's economic growth is in the service and creative economy (ekraf) and digital sectors.

According to him, Jakarta is not only the center of Indonesia's economy and finance, but also the heart of the service-based economy, the creative economy, innovative and digital.
In addition, he added that the Jakarta Economic Forum is a tangible manifestation of all commitments to drive the Jakarta economy through collaborative, creativity and participation actions, as well as voicing optimism for the people of Jakarta.

In addition, the inflation rate in Jakarta is relatively stable at 2.4 "year on year" (yoy). This position is also below national inflation.
In addition, digital transaction growth continues and has even reached 183 percent at 2.24 billion digital transactions.
"These are all collaborations of all parties so that the economy continues to grow," he said.
