JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria expressed optimism that the economy in Jakarta would soon recover after the PPKM status in DKI Jakarta dropped to level three, which was followed by easing in a number of business places.
"With the loosening of regulations on business premises, God willing, the economy in Jakarta will continue to improve," said Ahmad Riza Patria after reviewing the implementation of vaccination and blood donation at SMK Negeri 29 Jakarta, Saturday.
Ahamd Riza Patria, who is familiarly called Ariza, said that he was optimistic that the economy in Jakarta would recover as before, but this would take a long time, by improving various other sectoral conditions.
According to Ariza, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is currently continuing to accelerate the implementation of mass vaccinations for the community to immediately establish communal immunity. "This will be in line with the continued improvement in the economy in Jakarta," he said.
The opening of a place of business at this time, he said, would have a positive impact on economic growth.
"It will take a long time, but we make sure the economy will get better, in line with the increase in the number of people who have been vaccinated," he said.
On the other hand, Ariza also said that the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020 has had the impact of increasing the number of unemployed in Jakarta.
For that, he said, the DKI Provincial Government will hold various programs that have been prepared and also those that have been implemented so far. "That's the risk of the pandemic that must be faced," he said.
According to him, in the future, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will prepare various programs for community empowerment and economic sector recovery.
