Java Island contributes 56.55 percent to the GDPJakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia's economy in the second quarter of 2022 is still concentrated on Java Island, according to Head of Indonesia Statistics (BPS) Margo Yuwono .
This is apparent from the fact that provinces in the island dominate in terms of contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP).
"Java Island contributes 56.55 percent to the GDP," he said during the 2022 Second Quarter Economic Growth Announcement observed online on Friday
This contribution came from Java Island's economic growth, clocked at 5.66 percent, during the second quarter of this year as compared to the same period in the previous year (year-on-year).
The major driver of Java Island's economic growth is the industry sector, at 1.9 percent, and trade, at 0.94 percent.
