JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and Bank Jakarta won awards at the Cita Loka Fest 2026 event organized by the Tribun Network in Jakarta, Tuesday, June 24. The award is a form of appreciation for various innovations and contributions to sustainable regional development, community empowerment, and economic strengthening through digital transformation.

At the event, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government won the Best Regional Award in Building a Governance that Listens thanks to the innovation of Jakarta Smart City. The award was received directly by the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung.

In his remarks, Pramono Anung emphasized that the success of Jakarta's development is not only measured by the development of infrastructure, but also by the government's ability to listen to the aspirations of the community.

"For me, if Jakarta wants to be progressive, safe, and comfortable, then the most important thing besides building its infrastructure is to listen to what the citizens want. So, building is not merely building the physical," said Pramono.

Meanwhile, Bank Jakarta received the Award for the Digital Empowerment of MSMEs as a form of appreciation for its commitment to supporting the development of MSMEs through the Jakpreneur program and various sustainable digital initiatives. This award reflects Bank Jakarta's active role in expanding access to financing, improving financial literacy, and encouraging the use of digital technology by business actors.

Cita Loka Fest 2026 is a national collaborative forum with the theme "Strengthening Roots for a Healthy Indonesia". This forum involves various stakeholders, ranging from the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, provincial, district and city governments, international organizations such as UNICEF, UNDP and WHO, non-governmental organizations, universities, communities, MSMEs, to national companies from various industrial sectors.

Bank Jakarta President Director, Agus H. Widodo, expressed his appreciation for the award received. According to him, the award is a motivation for Bank Jakarta to continue to provide innovative banking services and solutions for MSMEs.

"This award is motivation for us to continue to provide innovative banking services and solutions for MSMEs. Bank Jakarta will continue to strengthen its role as a strategic partner for MSMEs through various financing products, digital banking services, and collaboration with various parties to create an increasingly inclusive and competitive business ecosystem," said Agus.

Bank Jakarta Corporate Secretary, Arie Rinaldi, added that the awards won by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and Bank Jakarta showed a strong synergy in encouraging sustainable regional development.

"Bank Jakarta is always committed to supporting digital transformation and empowering people's businesses so that they can develop sustainably and have a positive impact on the regional and national economies. This award further strengthens our commitment to expanding financial access for MSMEs and encouraging the use of digital technology to increase business competitiveness," concluded Arie.

For information, until the first quarter of 2026, Bank Jakarta's distribution of SME loans and financing reached IDR 10.46 trillion or grew 26.27 percent year-on-year (YoY) (unaudited). Of this amount, as many as 2,208 debtors are business actors who are included in the Jakpreneur program. This achievement is one of the tangible forms of Bank Jakarta's support for the development of SMEs as an important pillar of regional economic growth as well as supporting the realization of Jakarta as an inclusive and competitive global city.
