        "content": "<p>Economic growth in Jember Regency reached 6.35% in the first quarter\nof 2026, according to data released by the Central Statistics Agency\n(BPS).<\/p>\n<p>Acting Head of the Jember Communication and Informatics Office, Gatot\nTriyono, stated that this achievement not only places Jember at the\nforefront of the Sekar Kijang area but also sees it exceeding the\neconomic growth rates of both East Java Province and the nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJember\u2019s success in reaching 6.35% is tangible proof of responsive\ngovernance. The main factor driving this significant leap is the strong\ncommitment of the local government in implementing targeted budget\nmanagement, along with the effective and efficient execution of work\nprogrammes on the ground,\u201d Gatot said in a written statement on\nWednesday (10\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He explained that Jember\u2019s economic dominance in Q1 stands out\nstarkly when compared with macro indicators from other regions and the\naggregate figures for the province and central government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJember\u2019s growth of 6.35% holds a significant lead of 0.74 points\nabove the national growth figure of 5.61%, and exceeds East Java\u2019s\nprovincial growth rate of 5.96% by a margin of 0.39 points,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJember has successfully outperformed neighbouring regencies in the\nformer Besuki Residency area and its vicinity. Jember leads ahead of\nBanyuwangi at 6.14%, Lumajang at 5.89%, Situbondo at 5.50%, and\nBondowoso at 5.42%,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that this achievement results from a budget intervention\nstrategy focused on productive sectors. The accelerated realisation of\nthe regional budget from the start of the year, combined with\nbureaucratic efficiency, ensured that every rupiah of regional spending\ndirectly impacted economic circulation at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe effective implementation of programmes in food security, MSME\nstimulus, and the acceleration of strategic infrastructure has\nsuccessfully stimulated the aggregate purchasing power of Jember\u2019s\ncommunity. These targeted policies have proven capable of minimising\neconomic bottlenecks and creating a highly vibrant regional investment\nclimate,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded that with this Q1 performance, Jember Regency has now\nofficially taken the baton as the main economic locomotive driving\ngrowth in the eastern part of East Java. \u201cThe Jember Regency Government\nis committed to maintaining the rhythm of accountable budget management\nand the acceleration of effective programmes so that this positive trend\nremains consistent, and even improves, in the coming quarters.\u201d<\/p>",
