Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto revealed that the three special economic zones (SEZ) of Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD), Batam and Morowali were purely developed by the private sector without using the state budget.
As is known, the government has set three new special economic zones (SEZs) in a limited coordination meeting (rakortas) for the national council of special economic zones. The three areas are SEZ BSD, SEZ Batam, Riau Islands and SEZ Morowali, Central Sulawesi.
KEK sudah disetujui BSD, Batam dan Morowali.
"(The embezzlement) is purely private, everyone," he said at the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy, Jakarta, Wednesday, May 29.
First, continued Airlangga, for BSD, it has been established in coordination as a health, education, and technology SEZ.
"Second, the health SEZ on Batam Island, the health SEZ in collaboration with the Apollo Hospital from India," he said.
With the cooperation with the Apollo Hospital, continued Airlangga, it is hoped that it can provide good health for the people in the archipelago of Riau and North Sumatra.
Meanwhile, Morowali, said Airlangga, was set in a record as the Nickel Industry SEZ. Its development will involve PT Vale Indonesia.
The next nickel development SEZ is located in Morowali involving PT Vale, he explained.
Meanwhile, ATR/BPN Minister Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono said the BSD and Batam SEZs were the government's concern to develop and focus on the health sector.
Especially for the Batam SEZ, continued Agus, it is hoped that with the SEZ, the public will be expected to be able to access affordable health facilities. So that they no longer choose to seek treatment in neighboring countries.

"Hopefully, with this SEZ, if it is successful, we can build an area that is also overdoble, meaning that it is affordable in terms of its cost needs for the community to seek good treatment there, then later all of them can be present in Batam," said Agus.
Meanwhile, SEZ Morowali, continued Agus, will focus on supporting downstream programs, improving the regional economy, including opening up wider employment opportunities.
"Hopefully not only moving the local economy but also significantly will contribute to the national economy," he explained.
