        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Speaker of the Jakarta Regional House of\nRepresentatives (DPRD) Wibi Andrino says the creative economy needs to\nbecome one of the new drivers to boost the capital\u2019s economy and not\nrely solely on conventional development patterns. \u2018We have a creative\neconomy; this is what must be grown in Jakarta,\u2019 Wibi told reporters in\nJakarta on Thursday. He said that as a services city and the centre of\nnational economic activity, Jakarta has ample room to develop the\ncreative sector. Wibi stated that developing the creative economy opens\nup new business opportunities for the community because the sector can\nstimulate economic circulation amid fiscal challenges and global\neconomic conditions. \u2018We understand that in Jakarta we are not hoping\nfor large job creation or the construction of large industries,\u2019 he\nsaid. The emergence of new businesses, he continued, affects job\nabsorption and community economic activity. Therefore, young\nentrepreneurs need space to grow. Wibi believes the creative sector can\nmeet Jakarta\u2019s need to broaden the sources of economic growth,\nespecially as the city\u2019s economy is increasingly centred on services,\ninnovation, and creativity. \u2018With new businesses, there will certainly\nbe job absorption and so on,\u2019 he said. Previously, the Jakarta\nRepresentative Office of Bank Indonesia (KPw BI) stated that the\ncreative industry, particularly film, can be a new engine of growth for\nthe capital because the sector has a multiplier effect. \u2018This industry\n(film) suits Jakarta because 50 percent are young people,\u2019 said Iwan\nSetiawan, head of KPw BI DKI Jakarta in Jakarta on Wednesday (6\/5). Iwan\nsaid that the creative industry, especially film, has a \u2018multiplier\neffect\u2019 and reaches almost all sectors, making it a new growth driver\nfor Jakarta. Moreover, the film industry is not considered to exploit\nnatural resources because it is part of the creative and innovative\nsector.<\/p>",
