JAKARTA: Intense rainfall that triggered flooding in several parts of Jakarta in recent weeks has significantly disrupted economic activity, with transportation and logistics among the sectors hit hardest by severe congestion and delays.
Cyril Raoul Hakim, a special staffer to the Jakarta governor, said no finalised official figures were available yet from the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) or the provincial administration regarding the total economic losses from this month’s floods, as assessments were still ongoing.
