Businessmen told to help census

JAKARTA (JP): South Jakarta Mayor Pardjoko has asked businessmen to give adequate and honest answers to the 1996 Economic Census.

He told 250 businessmen, who will be respondents in the census on Tuesday, that the administration will keep all answers and information confidential, as required by the regulations, Antara reported yesterday.

The results of the census will be used as the basic material for national development, Pardjoko said.

The nationwide economic census was officially launched by President Soeharto on Dec. 1. The census will take two months to complete.

South Jakarta has become an economic center, in line with the growth of business centers and office buildings in the last decade, he said. (sur)
