Acting (Pj) West Lampung Regent Nukman (ANTARA)

As the regional economy increases, the Human Development Index (IPM) in West Lampung, Lampung Province increased compared to last year. Acting (Pj) West Lampung Regent Nukman said, the IPM in West Lampung Province increased in 2022 by 0.49 points from the previous year." Despite increasing, the West Lampung IPM figure, is ranked 8th out of 15 districts/cities in Lampung Province," said Nukman, at the development planning deliberation (musrenbang) quoted by ANTARA, Friday 17 March. He said, earlier in 2021, the West Lampung IPM was at 67.90 points, while in 2022 it rose to 68.39 points. West Lampung IPM number in 2022, namely 68.39 points, up by 0.49 points from the previous year," he said. According to Nukman, the economic indicator is a benchmark for the success of the region in managing its region's superior resources qualitatively and a portrait of the welfare of the community over the return of its managed resources. West Lampung economic growth in 2022 grew by 4.10 percent, still below the economic growth of Lampung Province, which was 4.28 percent. Meanwhile, the revenue per West Lampung Capita in 2022 experienced an increase from the previous year, to 27.30 million rupiah, of which in 2021 was 24.71 million rupiah. The increase in revenue per capita is also considered as per capita expenditure increases, namely in 2022 to be as much as in 2022 to be as 10.18 million rupiah increased from 2021 by more than 9.96 million rupiah. Even though West Lampung Regency is rich in potential natural resources, the activity proposals should support the achievement of the target of the earthquake and avalanche as a result of climate change. Thus, it is the condition that sometimes makes West Lampung considered as an unfavorable region for economic development and investment. However, through this musrenbang, Nukman hopes that it can answer the challenges in 2024 through three points of the West Lampung Regency Government plan. Those three points, namely first, the activity proposals should support the achievement of the target of RPD 2023-2026 for 2024 years, to be a contraction of cooperation.

Third, there will be a real and positive contribution from all stakeholders to build West Lampung Regency. "Don't count how much can be obtained from West Lampung, but what can we do for the benefit of West Lampung, for the welfare of its people, its natural environment, and for the prosperity of its country," he also said.
