JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Rani Mauliani responded to the announcement of the DKI Jakarta provincial minimum wage (UMP) in 2026 which was set by the Governor of DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung at Rp5.7 million.
Rani assessed that whatever the amount of the UMP increase should be appreciated by workers as a form of commitment by the local government in maintaining economic stability.
"Alhamdulillah, whatever the increase in UMP we have to be grateful for. DKI Jakarta is still the area with the highest UMP," Rani told reporters, Friday, December 26.
According to Rani, the determination of UMP cannot be separated from the ability of the regional income and expenditure budget (APBD) and the business world conditions. The regional government, he said, must take a balanced position so that the policies taken remain in favor of workers without neglecting economic sustainability.
"The increase in UMP must certainly be seen from the ability of the APBD and the support of all residents of Jakarta. With the improvement of the economy and regional income, God willing, the government can continue to support workers so that the increase in UMP in the future will be better," said Rano.
Rani also reminded the public not to only judge the UMP policy from a nominal perspective. He emphasized that wage increases are part of the process of improving the quality of workers' lives that is carried out gradually.
"Don't just look at the nominal amount, but see it as a process of gradually improving life. God willing, in the future the life of the people of Jakarta will get better," said Rani.
DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has announced an increase in the DKI Jakarta UMP 2026 of Rp5,729,876. This figure is up 6.17 percent from the 2025 UMP of Rp5,396,761.
Pramono realized that the nominal UMP next year was not in line with the wishes of the labor group and employers who had previously expressed it in the DKI Jakarta Wage Board meeting. This value was taken by the DKI Provincial Government as a middle ground.
"We believe that all parties will provide support and can understand the current situation and conditions, hopefully the decision taken has gone through a long process and considered various things from both the labor and employer sides," said Pramono at the DKI Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, December 24.
In the results of the formulation of the UMP held by the Wage Council, the employer organization element proposed the use of an alpha value of 0.55 from the economic growth of DKI Jakarta to determine the amount of next year's wages.
Meanwhile, the trade union or labor union element proposed the DKI Jakarta UMP 2026 of IDR 5,898,511 or using an alpha above 0.9. This proposal is based on the results of the calculation of the minimum living standard (KHL) for the DKI Jakarta Province.
Meanwhile, from the government element, the DKI Jakarta UMP 2026 amount was proposed with the use of an alpha of 0.75 from the DKI Jakarta economic growth. This figure was used by Pramono in determining the UMP.
Therefore, Pramono asked all companies in Jakarta to comply with the UMP Jakarta 2026 decision and start implementing it in January next year.
"All companies in DKI Jakarta must implement it. If there is anyone who does not implement it, of course the DKI Jakarta government will give firmness to this matter," added Pramono.
