February 2024 Apple Day of Bandung City Statistics Center

Monday (19/02/2024) The Central Bureau of Statistics of Bandung City held an apple in February 2024. The Head of BPS Bandung City delivered a mandate from the Deputy for Social Statistics. BPS as a provider of quality statistical data, has a vital role in supporting the government's vision and mission, especially in efforts to achieve a Golden Indonesia 2045. In accordance with BPS' vision to become a provider of quality data for an advanced Indonesia, BPS needs to provide quality statistics, in accordance with national and international standards. In addition, BPS is also responsible for fostering various Ministries / Institutions / Regions / Institutions (K / L / D / I) through the implementation of a sustainable National Statistics System.

BPS Core Business is trust in the statistical data produced. With various challenges during the data revolution characterized by an explosion of volume and high demand for data, coupled with dynamic changes in culture and community characteristics, as well as the emergence of various other data sources as a comparison, BPS needs to be more adaptive and continue to innovate in providing quality statistical data. Optimal supervision at all points of the business process, from preparation, data collection in the field, to dissemination of results is a must.

In 2024, various routine activities await. The March 2024 Susenas data collection was conducted in a panel of March 2023 Susenas households. BPS is also working with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in organizing the National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion (SNLIK) which aims to determine the level of financial literacy and inclusion. The provision of data on financial literacy and inclusion is a mandate of the 2020-2024 RPJMN, especially in strengthening the pillars of economic growth and competitiveness through strategies to increase financial sector deepening. Financial inclusion indicators are also one of the 45 key development indicators in realizing the Golden Indonesia 2045. In addition to Susenas and SNLIK, Sakernas, which is a source of employment data for national development planning and evaluation, also needs to be monitored. Various indicators produced, such as the open unemployment rate (TPT), sectoral employment, as well as the formal and informal sectors are increasingly needed as a measure of labor productivity in the era of economic transformation.

Current data collection activities still use traditional methods or face-to-face data collection, using both PAPI and CAPI questionnaires by data collection officers. In line with technological developments and the increasing maturity of administrative data, BPS must begin to utilize administrative data as a new source of data for statistical purposes. This also requires continuous coordination, integration and synchronization of data with administrative data producers. This has been realized and continues to be refined in the activities of the Indonesian Biological Statistics System. SSHI is the forerunner for the implementation of Register Based Census 2030. In addition to SSHI, the team also continues to provide sectoral guidance to oversee One Data for International Migration (SDMI), One Data for Indonesian Criminal Statistics (SDSKI) and others.

To support more accurate statistical data, an update of the poverty calculation method is also being pursued. The shift in people's consumption patterns in the last two decades, the adjustment of the commodity basket, and the adjustment of the reference population used in calculating the poverty line are some of the reasons for the need to update the existing calculation method that we have been using since 1998.
