BPS-Statistics Lampung Province Socializes CAWI Mode for Hybrid 2024 IBS Survey

BPS-Statistics Lampung Province today held a socialization of the CAWI (Computer Assisted Web Interviewing) Mode in the 2024 Monthly Large Medium Industry Survey (IBS), Tuesday (26/3).

 

The activity, which was held in the Command Center Room, Diskominfotik Lampung Province, was attended by stakeholders, namely the Head of BPS Lampung Province, and the Head of the Lampung Province Industry and Trade Service (Disperindag), while also virtually joining the Director of Industrial Statistics of BPS, Head of Regency/City BPS and large-medium industrial players in Lampung Province who are also connected online via the Zoom Meeting communication media.

 

Head of BPS-Statistics Lampung Province, Atas Parlindungan Lubis, in his speech said that the industrial sector has an important role in Lampung's economy. In 2023, the processing industry sector will contribute 18.01 percent to Lampung's GRDP, and will become the second largest sector after the agricultural sector.

 

To calculate the added value generated by the industrial sector, BPS-Statistics requires data from companies every month. On this occasion, BPS socialized the use of the CAWI mode for collecting IBS data.

 

"The CAWI mode is expected to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of data collection," said Atas. "With this mode, companies can fill in data independently via BPS-Statistics web entry, so that data is sent faster, easier, and confidentiality is guaranteed."

 

BPS Director of Industrial Statistics, Dody Herlando, in his speech explained the latest data and analysis regarding the economic conditions of Indonesia and Lampung.

 

"Despite experiencing pressure from the export and import side, the momentum of economic recovery in Lampung and Indonesia remains stable," explained Dody. "In the fourth quarter of 2023, the manufacturing sector in both regions showed positive growth, although slightly slower than in previous quarters."

 

Dody also added that the data produced from data collection on large-medium industries is macro in nature, which reflects the movement of Lampung's economic growth.

 

"No need to worry," said Dody. "This data will be processed and published in aggregate, so that it will not endanger the confidentiality of company data."

 

Head of the Lampung Province Industry and Trade Service (Disperindag), Evie Fatmawaty, also said that the data collection process would be kept confidential.

 

"The macro data produced reflects the industrial growth of Lampung Province," said Evie. "Therefore, we appeal to all large and medium industrial players in Lampung to actively participate in this survey."

 

It is hoped that this outreach activity can increase understanding and participation of industry players in filling in IBS data via the CAWI mode. Accurate and timely data from industry players is very important to produce valid economic indicators to support government policies in advancing the industrial sector in Lampung.
