Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Modern retail entrepreneurs are sure that the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan will review his decision to close retail or modern stores, such as starting next week on the total PSBB which will take effect on September 14, 2020.
Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Retail Entrepreneurs Association (Aprindo), Fernando Repi, said that communication with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government continues. This includes sending a formal protest letter regarding the closure of modern shop activities such as malls.
“By verbally communicating with the Governor’s Economic Assistant. I have seen from yesterday that his intention is to give modern retailers the opportunity to operate,” he said. CNBC Indonesia, Thursday (10/9).
This belief arises because the impact of losses due to the closure of modern retail will be very large. He admitted that the second total PSBB in DKI Jakarta had a bigger impact than the total PSBB since last April.
“Just for simulations, the first PSBB grew -5.4% until now. Now this is just about to come back again suddenly hit again. Even though it’s just Jakarta, but it’s worried that it will spread to the regions. It could be Surabaya or others. “he said.
The further decline in growth is certainly not expected. He believes that the economy can be sustainable with health. Moreover, Fernando believed that the spread of Covid-19 did not come from modern retail.
