        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Trade is providing discount programmes at several\nshopping centres and department stores to maintain public purchasing\npower for domestic products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegarding the consumer confidence index, that is why we are creating\ndiscount programmes in department stores as a way to stimulate growth or\npurchasing power for domestic products,\u201d said Minister of Trade Budi\nSantoso at Trans Studio Mall Cibubur on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The move follows a Bank Indonesia consumer survey that showed the\nConsumer Confidence Index reached a level of 117 in June 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The discount programmes include the \u2018Belanja di Indonesia Aja\u2019 (BINA)\ncampaign during the lead-up to Eid al-Fitr, Idul Mubarak, and Merdeka\nMadness, conducted by the Indonesian Shopping Centre Tenants and\nRetailers Association (HIPPINDO), the Indonesian Shopping Centre\nManagement Association (APPBI), and the Indonesian Retailers Association\n(Aprindo).<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Budi assessed that public demand for domestic fashion\nproducts continues to show a positive trend, increasing by 4.3 per\ncent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, the portion of domestic products is actually 60 per cent.\nFirstly, because of the quality, but perhaps also because demand for\ndomestic products continues to rise,\u201d Budi said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, President Commissioner of Metro Department Store Anita\nRatnasari Tanjung noted that public interest in local MSME products\ncontinues to increase. MSME players are now more innovative and able to\nkeep up with market trends to meet the needs of millennials and\nGeneration Z.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLocal MSME products, especially from Indonesia, are now in very high\ndemand because they are certainly creative, innovative, and in line with\ndemand. So they are also active with digitalisation programmes. Thus,\nthey suit the needs of young people,\u201d Budi explained.<\/p>\n<p>Metro Department Store currently allocates around 60 per cent of its\nsales space for domestic products. All products, including fashion, are\nguaranteed to have passed a curation process. In addition, Metro\ncontinues to expand its business network from Jakarta to Karawang,\nBandung, Depok, Surabaya, Solo, Makassar, and Manado.<\/p>\n<p>Anita expressed hope that the collaboration between the government,\nMetro, and MSME players can continue so that more local products can\ndevelop and become innovative and creative.<\/p>",
