In addition, Airlangga said that after the 2024 Harbolnas activities were completed, the Shopping program in Indonesia Aja (BINA) would be continued from December 20 to December 29.

Then there is also the Every Purchase is Cheat or EPIC program which will be held simultaneously at more than 80 thousand supermarket and minimarket outlets throughout Indonesia. Furthermore, the Travel Fair will also be held.

Airlangga hopes that the holding of various activities can boost purchasing power during the Christmas and New Year (Nataru) holidays.
