Lampung Governor Calls on Public to Support 2026 Economic Census
The Lampung Provincial Government has pledged its full support for the implementation of the national agenda, namely the 2026 Economic Census. This commitment was reaffirmed by the Governor of Lampung, Rahmat Mirzani Djausal, during the Alert Rally and Strengthening of Joint Commitment for the 2026 Economic Census held at the Korpri Field, Lampung Governor’s Office, on Saturday, 27 June 2026.
According to the Governor, the 2026 Economic Census plays a vital role in capturing the overall condition of the regional economy. The resulting data will serve as the foundation for formulating economic development policies that are more effective, inclusive, and sustainable.
“We all realise that high-quality and targeted development begins with accurate data. Without complete and correct data, it is difficult for us to make decisions or formulate precisely targeted policies,” said the Governor.
He continued that Lampung Province possesses significant economic potential across various sectors, ranging from agriculture, plantations, fisheries, industry, and trade to tourism, as well as millions of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that act as the primary drivers of the regional economy. He noted that the success of development is measured not only by high economic growth but also by the extent to as much as the community feels the benefits through job creation, increased income, and the strengthening of local businesses.
The Governor also called upon all elements of society to support the census implementation so that all of Lampung’s economic potential can be fully documented. He expressed his appreciation to all field officers who will serve as the spearhead of the 2026 Economic Census, advising them to carry out their duties with professionalism, integrity, and to provide friendly and humane service to the public.
In addition to attending the Alert Rally, the Governor of Lampung participated in a series of activities organised by the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS RI), including a healthy walk and a visit to a blood donation event.
Meanwhile, the Head of BPS RI, Amalia Adininglar Widyasanti, appreciated the commitment of the Lampung Provincial Government for its full support of the 2026 Economic Census. According to her, the economic census is a crucial instrument for understanding the real economic conditions at both national and regional levels.
Amalia likened the census to a medical check-up or a medical record for the economy, which will produce accurate data as a basis for formulating development policies, expanding investment, and empowering the business world.
She also invited the public to participate actively by providing accurate data, as every piece of information collected will serve as an important foundation in designing policies capable of improving public welfare.
On this occasion, Amalia also provided motivation to the 8,619 officers of the 2026 Economic Census who will be stationed across 15 regencies and cities throughout Lampung Province. She referred to these officers as “data warriors,” noting that they hold a critical role in determining the success of the census implementation.
Through synergy between the government, BPS, the community, and all field officers, the implementation of the 2026 Economic Census is expected to produce high-quality economic data to serve as a stepping stone in achieving more inclusive, sustainable, and targeted economic development for Lampung.
