PPKM Darurat necessary for sustainable recovery in Indonesia
The government has decided to reimpose mobility restrictions for July 3-20; this time, through emergency public activity restrictions (PPKM Darurat) due to surging COVID-19 infection and death rates. The strict policy needed to be enacted as health facilities have started to be overwhelmed by rising cases, which are the result of an unprecedented second wave of infections, fueled by increased mobility during the Idul Fitri holiday and the more contagious Delta variant.
The mobility restrictions were made to ensure more sustainable health and economic recovery. If implemented under a strict, proper and effective strategy, the much-needed PPKM Darurat will be beneficial in the long run, as public health will be improved, the vaccination program accelerated and economic stimulus deployed faster at the right target.
President Joko Widodo opened the option of expanding the Implementation of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) to areas outside Java and Bali.
Chairman of the Committee for Handling Covid-19 and National Economic Recovery (KPC-PEN) Airlangga Hartarto said the option could be reached if facilities outside Java-Bali were overwhelmed by the surge in Covid-19 cases. “The direction of Mr. President, if the area supporting facilities are increasingly limited or reduced, certainly according to the mechanisms and criteria that we will certainly increase from strict to emergency,” said Airlangga in an online press conference, Wednesday (7/7).
Airlangga said that the government is still focused on implementing Emergency PPKM in Java and Bali. Meanwhile, PPKM Mikro is tightened for areas other than Java and Bali. The Chairman of Golkar Party said PPKM Mikro was tightened in 43 districts / cities in 20 provinces. He said the central government was monitoring every second of developments in those areas.
“We’ll monitor it on a daily basis. From this daily monitor, we’ll see,” he said. Airlangga mentioned that it has called 10 governors to discuss tightening restrictions during PPKM Mikro. The central government will also call 17 other governors today. “For a strict monitor. With this close monitor, we are ready for the next step,” he said. Previously, the government held an Emergency PPKM during July 3-20. This restriction applies in 122 regencies/cities in Java and Bali.

Recent Property Development
The Covid-19 pandemic has dealt a quite severe blow to the property business sector in 2020. During the PSBB period, business activities were very sluggish and it can be said that some business actors suffered severe losses.
However, entering the new normal period, the economic activity in several sectors including property has begun to revive from the previous period. The role of the government triggers the revival of Indonesia’s property business activities.
Government Stimulus
The assistance provided by the government is in the form of subsidies or incentives for interest subsidies to debtors of public housing credit (KPR), which is contained in the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 138 / PMK.05 / 2020 and amendments to PMK 85 / PMK.05 / 2020 regarding the guidelines for providing interest subsidies in the effort to implement the National Economic Recovery program.
In early March 2020, the Government decided to increase the allocation of housing financing assistance by IDR 1.5 trillion for Low-Income Communities (MBR). This was stated by the Director General of Infrastructure Financing of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Eko Djoeli Heripoerwanto in a webinar, Wednesday (29/7/2020).
In addition, the Government also has Bank BTN as their partner-collaboration to implement their OMH Program aimed at Low-Income Communities (MBR) with low interest rates and low installments for the purchase of a prosperous tread house and a welfare apartment.
Bank BTN noted, in 2015 they have provided housing financing assistance totaling 474,099 units. Then in 2016 as many as 595,540 units, in 2017 to 666,806 units, in 2018 to 755,093 units, and in 2019 to 735,749 units.
As of September 2020, BTN has provided home ownership credit support (KPR) of 93,448 units which cost as much as Rp. 15.6 trillion. These support provided by BTN is significant for the survival of the business property sector.
BTN commitment on supporting business property has not slackened. In fact, during the pandemic, BTN continuously provides support for the government program.The distribution of subsidized KPR is still a mainstay of BTN for the One Million Houses program.

Hotels and convention halls are two sectors whose demand has risen quite drastically in the Q3 after falling badly in the previous quarter. This demonstrates positive potential for its development in the future. Meanwhile, the demand of apartment remains low and still struggles to revive until now.
Growth of Commercial Property Demand in Jabodetabek
Overall in Jabodetabek, the commercial property sector also experienced a positive increase during Q3 2020.
In Jakarta, all commercial property demands show positivism with hotels being the most prominent in their development at Q3 2020. After previously shows a negative number, the total index in Q3 has at least increased to be positive.

Meanwhile, the growth in the total commercial property index jumped drastically in Bogor, Depok and Bekasi. Same case with Jakarta, its hotel sector are also the most prominent in reviving, at least in the Q3 2020.

As we can see on charts above, the hotel segment shows a great improvement in demand. This was driven by various kinds of promotions offered by hotels to adapt in this situation such as providing huge discount, staycation packages, working from hotels offer, and wedding reception packages.
Why Hotels?
As Indonesia gradually eases lockdown restrictions, the hotel occupancy rates across the country including Jakarta, have slowly started to pick up. However this is not without several efforts and sacrifices driven by people in the hotels sector to improve and revive the hospitality business sector in Indonesia.
To get through this hard times, efficiency and innovation are the main keys. Therefore, there are several trends created specifically to adapt to this era. Hotels competing with each other to offer a flood of discounts. To further intensify its sales strategy, there are several e-commerce platforms that is becoming a great place to advertise rooms and staycation packages, such as Traveloka. The Buy Now Stay Later also sticks to this trend.

Another new trend is the Work From Hotel (WFH). As you might know, the abbreviation of WFH was initially stands for Work From Home. To connect the dots, Working From Hotel then exist and created because there are more and more office workers are getting bored with the atmosphere of their house and desperate to look for a new atmosphere. It’s a trend where hotels prepare rooms, complete with equipment and facilities to work (e.g : Wi-Fi , stationer, and free printing facilities,etc).

During the transitional PSBB period, indoor wedding receptions are allowed to be held again after previously was banned temporarily due to the massive increase of the Covid-19 spread. This becomes the opportunity that triggers the revival for the hotel business.
However, this permission is also accompanied by the requirement to fulfill and comply with the health protocols made by the government. These includes the limitation of attendees to a maximum of 25 percent of normal capacity. Then, the seating distance for visitors is set at least 1.5 meters. Visitors are also prohibited from passing by or changing seats. The eating and drinking utensils must be sterilized, while the serving of food is prohibited from using a buffet. Last but not least, the wedding staffs are required to wear a mask, face shield and gloves.
One of the breakthrough in this trend was the make of “Virtual Wedding” ever since June 2020. As this was the case held by The Sunan Hotel Solo, which offer a virtual wedding service package for 44.5 million. The event is only attended by the couple and their family members, meanwhile guests are able to attend the wedding virtually through various platforms such as Zoom, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, while enjoying food sent by the hotel to their residences.

Finally, we might conclude that the property business in Indonesia has the potential to develop more despite the massive impact it has taken from pandemic outburst. Combining the stakeholders effort and the government’s support to stimulate this sector are expected to help revive the business sector in the future.
