JAKARTA - Executive Director of the Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios) Bhima Yudhistira Adhinegara said that the postponement of the appointment of Candidates for Civil Servants (CPNS) contributed to the loss of the domestic economy reaching Rp11.9 trillion.
"Meanwhile, the impact of the doubles that was lost due to the delay in the appointment of CPNS could be even greater in total economics," he explained in his statement, quoted on Tuesday, March 11.
Bhima explained that the figure was based on the results of the BELIOS modeling using the Input-Output (IO) method so that it found that the total economic loss reached Rp11.9 trillion as a result of the delay in the appointment of CPNS.
"The results of the BELIOS modeling using the Input-Output (I-0) method found a total economic output loss of Rp11.9 trillion, public income decreased by Rp10.4 trillion," he explained.
In addition, Bhima said that entrepreneurs were greatly harmed because the salary and allowances that CPNS should be able to spend were buying various basic necessities, housing and electronics into potential loss.
"The estimated indirect loss employers amounted to Rp3.68 trillion as a result of the policy to postpone the appointment of CPNS," he said.
Bhima said as many as 110 thousand workers were indirectly affected, due to the delay in the appointment of CPNS which had a broad impact on the output of the government services sector, decreased by IDR 3.5 trillion, trade of IDR 441.7 billion, and the provision of food and drink was hit by IDR 286.8 billion.
"The sector can carry out efficiency, or delay the recruitment of new employees," he said.
Bhima said the government must consider the chain effects of every decision that not only involves hundreds of thousands of CPNS whose fate is uncertain, but also private entrepreneurs and employees who are affected by the government's fatal policies when the economy is deteriorating.
In addition, Bhima conveyed that the direct impact experienced by the CPNS itself also has the potential to reach Rp 6.76 trillion.

According to him, prospective civil servants who had hoped for the appointment of CPNS in March 2025, had already been redesigned earlier than the previous job, but were disappointed because they became pseudo unemployed for 9 months, and the government was unable to become a shock absorber when the private sector was hit by mass layoffs.
Bhima explained that the total figure arises if the assumption is that the average basic salary of ASN is IDR 3.2 million for a working period of 0-3 years and then 80 percent of the basic salary is taken, minus taxes and added various allowances so that it is obtained around IDR 3 million per month.
"If there are 9 months of delays in the appointment of CPNS, it means that there is a potential income per ASN person that is lost of Rp. 27 million. Meanwhile, there are 250,407 formations needed both at the central and regional levels," he said.
