Jakarta (B2B) - Depresiasi rupiah yang mencapai Rp14 ribu dinilai Gubernur DKI Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama tidak berdampak serius pada sistem pemerintahan di Provinsi DKI Jakarta.
"Ya, sebenarnya sistem berdampak kalau kita pakai ke luar negeri. Kalau kita kan nggak ada utang kepada luar negeri. Jadi nggak ada efek buat kita di DKI," kata Gubernur Basuki yang akrab disapa Ahok di Balai Kota Jakarta pada Rabu (26/8).
Menurut Ahok, depresiasi rupiah kemungkinan hanya terasa dalam pembelian mobil dinas, tapi kondisi seperti itu pun bakal terjadi apabila kondisi nilai rupiah masih tetap melemah.
"Paling beli mobil lebih mahal sedikit," kata Ahok.
Jakarta (B2B) - The Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama stated that the rupiah depreciation which reached 14,000 rupiahs does not affect to the Jakarta government system.
"We have no debt to foreign countries. Thereby, there is no significant effect on our government," Governor Purnama said here on Wednesday (8/26).
Mr Purnama said it is probably only having an impact on purchase of official cars, but, it would happen if the rupiah exchange rate continues to weaken.
"Perhaps, car price will be more expensive," he said.
