BI Jakarta Representative Office's Chief Onny Widjanarko remarked that the event held on June 16-18, 2022, in a hybrid format is an effort to encourage economic actors amid Jakarta's improving economic growth.
"This event is held annually and aims to encourage economic recovery and raise the MSMEs' class, as the products came from MSMEs," he noted during a press conference here on Tuesday.
The JaKreatiFest comprises the pre-event, main event, and post event. These series of activities start from a webinar on consumer protection on financial transaction.

The main event JaKreatiFest will be held on June 16-18, 2022, through Zoom, Instagram, and YouTube online, and also on Sarinah live.
A total of 30 MSMEs from the fashion, culinary, craft, and coffee sectors are involved in the JaKreatiFest live exhibition. Meanwhile, during the online exhibition, around 200 MSMEs in Jakarta participate in the event.
