        "summary": "PT Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) has highlighted the lack of detailed data on Indonesia's housing backlog, which consists mainly of aggregate statistics without individual identities or addresses, hindering targeted efforts to meet housing needs. BTN's CEO Nixon Napitupulu compared the issue to the effective name- and address-based hajj queue system and suggested building a comprehensive database ecosystem for prospective homebuyers to register in advance. Internally, BTN is launching a 'Housing Clinic' initiative to allow people to register their housing needs, enabling better mapping of demand for 2026 and beyond.",
        "content": "<p>BANDUNG, KOMPAS.com - PT Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) assesses that the\nhousing backlog issue is not yet supported by detailed data. This\ncondition makes efforts to fulfil housing needs difficult to carry out\nin a directed manner.<\/p>\n<p>BTN\u2019s President Director Nixon Napitupulu stated that the backlog\nfigures to date are still in the form of aggregate statistics. The data\nhas not been supplemented with identities of individuals in need of\nhousing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne, this backlog data is statistical data. The problem up to today\nis the same: there is no data on who exactly the backlog people are.\nThen where they are now, there is no by name, by address,\u201d said Nixon in\nBandung on Thursday (9\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is statistical counting that up to today, even when we want to\nsolve it, it becomes difficult,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>BTN compares it to the hajj queue system. That system is already\nbased on names and addresses, making it easier to calculate waiting\ntimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the hajj queue system, the government can directly measure how\nmany years it will take to complete. Because there is by name, by\naddress,\u201d said Nixon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must build an ecosystem database where the community registers\nbefore buying a house,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This step is followed by BTN\u2019s internal initiative. BTN\u2019s Consumer\nBanking Director Hirwandi Gafar stated that the company is preparing an\nindependent data collection system to map demand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBTN is creating a Housing Clinic. Making people come and register\nwhere they need a house. So we know how many people need a house in\n2026, and where they are,\u201d said Hirwandi.<\/p>",
