JAKARTA - Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Hadi Tjahjanto is committed to continuing and accelerating the Complete Certificate Land Program (PTSL) until 2024.

"We will continue to continue the PTSL and accelerate it until 2024, the PTSL program which we can realize 126 million registered fields and then the certificate is expected to be close to that number," Hadi said in his statement in Jakarta, Saturday.

He said the impact obtained from the existence of PTSL was that there was an economic increase, specifically in East Kalimantan, the economic gain generated by the PTSL program reached approximately IDR 25 trillion in the 2017-2023 period.

The number of land parcels registered in Indonesia to date is 105.2 million fields with the impact of such a large economic increase.

To improve the community's economy, Hadi Tjahjanto said that the Ministry of ATR/BPN not only has a PTSL program, but there is also a Land Redistribution program originating from abandoned land. Therefore, it is important according to Hadi to go to the field to see the conditions and know the problems directly.

"Of course it is also important to synergize in collaboration with other institutions and ministries," said Hadi, quoted from ANTARA, Saturday, August 5.

The Minister of ATR/BPN previously submitted 12 door-to-door community land certificates in Jabah Village, East Kalimantan. The certificate submitted is the result of the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program which continues to be intensified in Kutai Kartanegara Regency.

"I distributed several PTSL results certificates. From the PTSL target in East Kalimantan, there are 2.2 million fields and approximately 75 percent have been completed," said Hadi Tjahjanto.
