Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Governor Pramono Anung announced on Friday (17/4/2026) that the Jakarta administration is evaluating significant regional tax reductions to shield local businesses and residents from the economic fallout of ongoing Middle Eastern conflicts and climate volatility.

"We are currently reviewing regional tax cuts to introduce more competitive and attractive fiscal instruments that respond to global economic pressures," he said during the Jakarta Budget Talks at City Hall, as reported by antaranews.com

The proposed stimulus package aims to maintain Jakarta’s economic momentum, which currently outperforms the national average with a growth rate higher than the country's baseline and inflation held at 3.37%. These incentives are designed to provide essential relaxation for the private sector as rising geopolitical tensions threaten global supply chains and energy prices.

Despite the planned relief, the Governor highlighted a cautious approach to ensure a balance between providing public stimulus and maintaining the health of the regional budget. The final policy package is currently being finalized and is expected to be unveiled shortly to bolster the capital’s resilient economy.
