Jakarta Provincial Government and Bank Jakarta Honoured at Cita Loka Fest 2026
The Jakarta Provincial Government and Bank Jakarta received awards at the Cita Loka Fest 2026 held by Tribun Network in Jakarta on Tuesday (24/6). The awards recognise various innovations and contributions to sustainable regional development, community empowerment, and economic strengthening through digital transformation.
The Jakarta Provincial Government won the Best Regional Governance award for its Jakarta Smart City innovation. Governor Pramono Anung accepted the award directly. In his speech, Pramono asserted that Jakarta’s development success is measured not only by infrastructure but also by the government’s ability to listen to its citizens’ aspirations. ‘For me, for Jakarta to be advanced, safe, and comfortable, the most important thing besides building infrastructure is listening to what its citizens want. So, development is not solely about physical construction,’ Pramono said.
Meanwhile, Bank Jakarta received the Business Entity Driving MSME Digitalisation award, recognising its commitment to supporting MSME development through the Jakpreneur programme and various sustainable digital initiatives. This award reflects the bank’s active role in expanding access to financing, improving financial literacy, and encouraging the use of digital technology by business actors.
Cita Loka Fest 2026 is a national collaborative forum with the theme ‘Strengthening Roots for a Beautiful Indonesia’. The forum involves various stakeholders, including the Ministry of Home Affairs, provincial and local governments, international organisations such as UNICEF, UNDP, and WHO, non-governmental organisations, universities, communities, MSMEs, and national companies from various industrial sectors.
Bank Jakarta President Director Agus H. Widodo expressed appreciation for the award, stating that it serves as motivation for the bank to continue providing innovative banking services and solutions for MSMEs. ‘This award motivates us to continue delivering innovative banking services and solutions for MSMEs. Bank Jakarta will continue to strengthen its role as a strategic partner for MSMEs through various financing products, digital banking services, and collaborations with various parties to create a more inclusive and competitive business ecosystem,’ Agus said.
Bank Jakarta Corporate Secretary Arie Rinaldi added that the awards received by the Jakarta Provincial Government and Bank Jakarta demonstrate strong synergy in promoting sustainable regional development. ‘Bank Jakarta is always committed to supporting digital transformation and community business empowerment so that they can develop sustainably and have a positive impact on the regional and national economy. This award further strengthens our commitment to expanding financial access for MSMEs and encouraging the use of digital technology to enhance business competitiveness,’ Arie concluded.
As of the first quarter of 2026, Bank Jakarta’s MSME loan and financing distribution reached Rp10.46 trillion, growing 26.27 per cent year-on-year (unaudited). Of this amount, 2,208 debtors are business actors participating in the Jakpreneur programme. This achievement represents a tangible form of Bank Jakarta’s support for MSME development as a key pillar of regional economic growth and supports the realisation of Jakarta as an inclusive and competitive global city.
