Bekasi Regency Optimizes Regional Revenue Through Pentahelix Synergy

The Bekasi Regency government is actively working to boost its regional revenue through a "super team" approach, fostering collaboration among five key elements: government, academia, business, media, and the community. Plt. Bupati Bekasi Asep Surya Atmaja emphasized that success relies on collective effort rather than individual heroism.

This "pentahelix synergy" is crucial for optimizing the region's significant revenue potential, especially in tax sectors like groundwater tax, Land and Building Tax (PBB), and Property Acquisition Fee (BPHTB). The government has established a specific decree to guide the supervision and control of regional taxes and levies, assigning roles to each pentahelix element. Academics will provide data-driven analysis, the community will assist with social oversight, media will support public education, and businesses will act as both taxpayers and partners.

“

In the Bekasi Regency Government, there is no Superman, but what we want to build is a super team. Therefore, we involve all elements of the pentahelix to work together to optimize the potential of regional revenue.

As of early June 2026, Bekasi's tax revenue had reached Rp1.257 trillion against a target of Rp3.8 trillion. The Property Acquisition Fee (BPHTB) was the primary source, realizing Rp363.18 billion, followed by PBB at Rp242.71 billion. Other contributions came from motor vehicle tax, billboard tax, groundwater tax, and various taxes on goods and services, including electricity, food and beverages, and hospitality.

“

We hope all involved elements can support each other according to their respective duties and authorities so that efforts to optimize regional revenue can run more effectively.
