Jakarta (B2B) - Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) mengumumkan
pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia pada kuartal III 2015 sebesar 4,73%.
Sementara nilai Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) Negara untuk periode
Juli-September 2015 senilai Rp2.311,2 triliun.
Deputi Neraca dan
Analisis Statistik BPS, Suhariyanto, mengungkapkan, realisasi
pertumbuhan ekonomi di kuartal III ini lebih baik dibanding pencapaian
di kuartal sebelumnya. Tercatat, pada kuartal II 2015 pertumbuhan
ekonomi RI di level 4,67% dan di kuartal I 2015 tercatat 4,72%.
"Pertumbuhan
ekonomi kuartal tiga tercatat 4,73 persen. Secara kumulatif,
pertumbuhan ekonomi sampai dengan kuartal III ini sebesar 4,71 persen.
Sementara nilai PDB Atas Dasar Harga Konstan atau ADHK di angka
Rp2.311,2 triliun dan atas dasar harga berlaku atau ADHB di angka
Rp2.982,6 triliun," katanya kepada pers di Jakarta pada Kamis (5/11).
Menurut
Suhariyanto, pertumbuhan ekonomi tersebut masih melambat karena tekanan
faktor eksternal dan internal. Dari dalam negeri, ada beberapa
penyebabnya, seperti nilai tukar rupiah terhadap dolar Amerika Serikat
(AS) yang melemah pada kuartal tiga 2015 serta menurunnya realisasi
penerimaan pajak.
"Yang membuat lebih tinggi dibanding kuartal I
dan II adalah karena belanja pemerintah meningkat, terutama belanja
barang 34 persen dan belanja modal naik sampai 58,10 persen. Serta
inflasi terkendali 6,83 persen secara tahunan pada September 2015,"
paparnya.
Dari faktor eksternal, menurutnya, perekonomian
Indonesia masih tertekan karena melambatnya ekonomi dunia di kuartal
tiga. Hal itu terjadi akibat pelemahan harga komoditas primer dan
ekonomi banyak negara mengalami kontraksi atau tekanan.
"Pertumbuhan
ekonomi negara mitra dagang Indonesia cenderung melemah, seperti
ekonomi AS tumbuh 2 persen dari sebelumnya 2,7 persen. Tiongkok pun
merosot dengan pertumbuhan 6,9 persen dari 7 persen dan Singapura dengan
pelemahan ekonomi dari 1,7 persen menjadi 1,4 persen," kata
Suhariyanto.
Jakarta (B2B) - The Central Statistics Agency or BPS stated that Indonesia's economy grew by 4.73 percent in the third quarter of this year, up slightly from 4.72 percent in the first quarter and 4.67 percent in the second quarter.
BPS Deputy Head for Balance Sheet and Statistical Analysis Suhariyanto said, the third-quarter growth brought the economic growth in the year ending September 30, 2015, to 4.71 percent, higher than the first-semester growth of 4.69 percent.
Suhariyanto remarked that the information and communication sector recorded the highest growth of 10.83 percent in the third quarter, followed by the financial sector at 10.35 percent, and the educational service sector at 8.25 percent.
"The growth was fueled by almost all business fields, except the mining and quarrying sector, which contracted 5.64 percent due to a shortfall in global commodity prices," he said.
In terms of the sources of economic growth, the manufacturing industry led the third-quarter growth with 0.92 percent, followed by the construction sector at 0.65 percent, the information and communication sector at 0.48 percent, and the agricultural, forestry and fisheries sector at 0.46 percent.
He noted that government consumption was the highest contributor at 6.56 percent to the gross domestic product (GDP), followed by non-profit institutions' consumption at 6.39 percent, household consumption at 4.96 percent, and gross fixed capital formation at 4.62 percent.
"The other component saw a negative growth, with exports contracting 0.69 percent and imports declining 6.11 percent chiefly due to declining export and import performances," he revealed.
Spatially, the Indonesian economy in the third quarter was still dominated by Java, which contributed 58.27 percent to the GDP, followed by Sumatra with 22.37 percent, Kalimantan 7.99 percent, Sulawesi 6.08 percent, and other islands 5.29 percent.
"Among the other islands, Bali and Nusa Tenggara recorded the highest growth of 11.75 percent compared to the same period last year, while Kalimantan saw a negative growth of 0.41 percent due to declining performance of the mining industry," he added.
