"As well as prompting the improvement of the people's economy, a sense of love for domestic products and the guidance conducted by the PPKUKM Agency as a member of the proud national movement made in Indonesia," she expressed, Monday (9/11).

Entering the end of the third quarter in 2023, the commitment to push P3DN Jakarta is still being realized.

Based on monitoring from the LKPP Bigbox Dashboard as of September 9, 2023, the realization of spending on Domestic Products in Jakarta had reached Rp 8.7 trillion or 55 percent of the commitment for spending on Domestic Products by Rp 15.8 trillion.

"These results can still be improved by optimizing the recording of procurement of goods or services that has been implemented in the SPSE LKPP and SIPD P3DN systems, including using TKDN's certified domestic products in the procurement of goods/services that will be realized," she explained.

She furthered Jakarta had also been chosen to host the implementation of the National Movement Proud to be Made in Indonesia and Proud to Travel in Indonesia (Gernas BBI and BBWI), which was officially opened on Friday (9/8) in Sarinah, Central Jakarta.

"We need support from all stakeholders for the success of this activity through various events and activities initiated by each regional apparatus, community institution, private sector, university, and/or the general public," she added.

She hoped that PPK/PPTK/PPBJ in regional apparatus organizations in Jakarta would optimize the recording of procurement of goods/services on the application system that has been determined to encourage P3DN achievements. Including actively participating in filling out the business matching interest form which can be filled out at each exhibitor booth.

"Hopefully, the participants will make the best use of this moment to introduce superior TKDN's certified products and convince us all that domestic products are more competitive than imported products. Let's support MSMEs by getting used to using domestic products to meet their daily needs," she stated.
