Sentimen Positif
Narasumber
positive - Hariyadi Sukamdani (None) Our suggestion is based on facts, data and our own
calculations. We suggest that the 2021 minimum wage should stay unchanged as the pandemic
has caused businesses to struggle to pay their employees
positive - Hariyadi Sukamdani (None) We deeply regret their decision as they are insensitive to
what we [business players] are going through during this pandemic
Ringkasan
The Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) has defended a government circular instructing
regions to leave their minimum wages unchanged in 2021, arguing that the policy is based on
"data and facts" regarding the pandemic's impact on business.
Apindo chairman Hariyadi Sukamdani said on Monday that almost all business sectors in the
country had been impacted by the pandemic, which brought about an economic contraction in
the second quarter of this year. Indonesia's economy shrank by 5.32 percent year-on-year (yoy)
in the third quarter, according to Statistics Indonesia (BPS) data.
