The Head of BPS Boyolali Regency, Ir. Sutirin, M.Si, emphasized the importance of cross-sector collaboration to ensure accurate and relevant GRDP data.
“GRDP is not just a statistical figure; it reflects the region's economic dynamics, which serve as the basis for policy-making. Through cooperation, we can enhance the validity of sectoral data as a foundation for better development,” Sutirin stated.

The event began with a presentation on Boyolali Regency's quarterly GRDP data, covering the period from Q1 2022 to Q3 2024. This data provided a comprehensive overview of regional economic growth trends, leading sectors, and challenges faced in each quarter.

Following the GRDP presentation, a basic data desk session was conducted. During this session, participants engaged in in-depth discussions on strengthening mechanisms for collecting and aligning sectoral data. It also served as a forum for feedback and suggestions on data requirements to develop a more comprehensive quarterly GRDP.

The highlight of the event was the launch of Boyolali DataHub, a digital platform designed to compile basic GRDP data. This platform aims to facilitate access, management, and integration of data from various sectors, thereby supporting the preparation of more accurate and efficient GRDPs.
