Rusia mendukung dan menghargai pekerjaan Badan Energi Atom Internasional (IAEA), Presiden Vladimir Putin mengatakan kepada Direktur Jenderal IAEA Rafael Mariano Grossi pada hari Selasa.
"Dear director general, I am very pleased to welcome you to St. Petersburg, Russia. Since the establishment of the agency, Russia has always not only supported, but stood at the origins of the agency since 1957, and has always supported the agency’s work. We are actively working within the agency to this day and attach great importance to the work to which the agency dedicates itself, and you, as the general director, dedicate your life," Putin told Grossi during the meeting.
Russia has always advocated that all countries had equal access to the benefits of peaceful atom, Putin also said.
"We have always advocated that all states have equal access to the benefits of peaceful atom. And at the same time, we believe, we believed before and now, our position is that everything must be done to limit the spread of military nuclear technologies," Putin emphasized.
The Russian president also said that elements of excessive dangerous politicization of nuclear activities can be seen, and such rhetoric should be reduced
Putin proposed to Grossi to discuss the situation at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant during the meeting, adding that Moscow is "ready to solve all issues.".
An immediate ceasefire in Ukraine is necessary and negotiations will have to be held with the United States for this purpose, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview with German media published on Tuesday.
"We need an immediate ceasefire. That's what the Pope says, that's what (former US Secretary of State Henry) Kissinger says, that's what (German philosopher Jurgen) Habermas says. An immediate ceasefire, and then we must start negotiations," Orban said in an interview with the German newspaper Berliner Zeitung and with Cicero magazine.
Orban also said that the ceasefire should be reached between Russia and the US rather than between Moscow and Kiev, as the Russian side has many resources, while the Ukrainians are limited to what the US supplies them.
"They can fight indefinitely just because the Americans support them," Orban added.
According to Hungarian PM, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel could have prevented the conflict, as she had previously shown herself to be a strong leader, who was able to prevent a war in 2014.
Orban also added that US President Joe Biden's policy had strayed too far from making peace with Russia.
Since Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24, Western countries have been providing Kiev with military, financial and humanitarian aid. On October 4, Biden told his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, that Washington would send another security package with additional weapons and equipment, including High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, to Ukraine, worth $625 million.
Russian financial watchdog Rosfinmonitoring on Tuesday placed US corporation Meta (deemed extremist in Russia) on its list of extremists and terrorists.
The corporation is listed under the name of Meta Platforms Inc., the watchdog said on its website.
In March, Moscow’s Tverskoy Court declared the social networks — Instagram and Facebook — owned by Meta, extremist and banned them across Russian territory.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is owned by billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and in March earlier this year, it was found guilty of “extremist activity” in Russia by a Moscow court. The case was filed after Meta was accused of allowing posts that called for violence against the Russian military in Ukraine.
Zuckerberg is already on the list of individuals who were barred by the Russian foreign ministry from entering the country back in April. The tech billionaire was part of a list that include US Vice President Kamala Harris, EO of LinkedIn Ryan Roslansky, and more than 900 other American citizens.
In the official statement, Rosfinmonitoring said that Meta has been biased towards the western countries in the coverage of the Ukraine-Russia crisis. They said that the company is “discriminating” against Russian news outlets and have restricted user access to outlets like Sputnik and Russia Today.
Kremlin : West Condemns Russia, Does Not Notice Ukrainian Crimes
The West condemns Russia’s actions but does not notice crimes committed by the Ukrainian leadership, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
"No, it was for real, they are going to continue to blame everything [on Moscow], to condemn Russia … not noticing the crimes of the Kiev regime … completely ignoring what the Kiev regime is doing with people who live in those territories that are already part of the Russian Federation," Peskov told reporters.
US supplies of air defense systems to Ukraine "will make the conflict longer and more painful for the Ukrainian side, but will not change our goal setting and the end result." Russia intends to achieve its goals in Ukraine efficiently and effectively, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said
Putin, Erdogan to Discuss Ukraine in Astana on Thursday
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, will discuss the situation in Ukraine during a meeting in Astana on Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
"Of course, there is understanding, the topic is clear, it is, of course, Ukraine, and bilateral relations, which are also very, very multifaceted, and, in general, an exchange of views on current affairs," Peskov told reporters.
Putin, IAEA Head to Discuss Ukraine, Security of ZNPP at Meeting on Tuesday
Russian President Vladimir Putin will discuss Ukraine, including the security of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (ZNPP) at meetings with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"Yes, indeed, Ukraine's (topic) also appears there, and the president highly appreciated the mediation services on very, very sensitive issues provided by the United Arab Emirates in this context. Well, in fact, these and other issues, both bilateral and regional problems, and Syria, all of them will be on the agenda. And also, of course, issues related to the safety of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant will also be discussed," Peskov told reporters.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has started talks with United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in St. Petersburg where the Russian leader had been staying for the past few days, the Rossiya-24 television channel reported.
Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said the one-on-one format was chosen for the conversation.
The Kremlin hasn’t announced the issues to be discussed at the talks. According to the UAE government newspaper Al-Bayan, the agenda includes issues of friendly relations between the UAE and Russia, and some regional and international issues that are of mutual interest. The UAE Foreign Ministry said the president’s visit aims to achieve "effective political solutions" for the crisis in Ukraine.
President Putin’s main statements made at his meeting with the UAE president:
Russia is grateful for the mediation efforts in resolving humanitarian issues;
Moscow is aware of the UAE’s concern about the development of the situation in Ukraine and its desire to contribute to a settlement of the crisis;
This desire makes it possible to use the influence of the UAE to resolve the situation;
Putin confirmed that he was aware of concerns about the Zaporozhye NPP, and promised to discuss everything in detail;
OPEC+ decisions are not directed against anyone;
All OPEC+ actions are aimed at creating stability in global energy markets;
The Russian military began large-scale precision missile strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, military communications and command posts on Monday, in retaliation to Saturday's terror attack against the Crimean Bridge and other acts of terror attributed to Kiev.
Russia is continuing its campaign of precision missile strikes on Ukraine, the Ministry of Defense has indicated.
"Today the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continued to conduct massed strikes using high-precision, long-range air and sea-based weapons at military command and control facilities and the energy system of Ukraine. The goal of the strikes has been reached. All designated targets were hit," MoD spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a statement Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Ukrainian media reported that a nationwide air alert had been issued, and that a series of explosions occurred in Kiev, Odessa, Vinnitsa, Rovno, Krivoy Rog, Zhitomir, Khmelnitsky, Nikolayev, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, and Lvov. Explosions were followed by power outages in some areas.
Tuesday's strikes were the second straight day of attacks targeting Ukrainian electricity infrastructure and command and communications systems used by the Ukrainian military. Monday's strikes hit targets across over 1,000 km, destroying or damaging multiple military facilities, and causing widespread power outages. Ukrainian media reported that 11 people were killed and over two dozen others injured, and that as many as 200 missiles were used.
President Putin said that the attacks were a response to Ukrainian attacks targeting Russian territory, including Saturday's attack on the Crimean Bridge, which killed three civilians, the TurkStream gas pipeline, Russian electricity and transport infrastructure, and the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, among others. Putin warned that "if attempts to carry out terror attacks against our territory continue, Russia's responses will be tough and will correspond in scale to the level of threat posed to the Russian Federation."
Ukrainian officials boasted about Kiev's responsibility for the Crimean Bridge attack on social media and to the New York Times. However, a senior Ukrainian official responsible for sabotage operations tricked into speaking to Russian pranksters accidentally revealed that Washington "has the right to veto all of our operations," and that Kiev couldn't "move forward" with an attack on the Crimean Bridge unless US officials approved it.
Until now, Russia has generally avoided targeting critical infrastructure in the course of the special military operation in Ukraine, keeping in line with the goals outlined at its outset, which President Putin characterized as the "de-Nazification" of the government in Kiev, and the "de-militarization" of the nation's armed forces to halt attacks on the Donbass.
The escalation coming in the wake of the Crimean Bridge explosion threatens to intensify the conflict, with Western media reporting that the Zelensky government has reiterated its demands for longer-range missiles to enable it to strike deep into Russian territory.
Moscow has repeatedly warned the United States and its NATO allies against sending advanced weaponry to Ukraine, saying such deliveries threaten to expand the crisis, and that part of these arms - including things like portable anti-aircraft weapons which could shoot down civilian airliners, could end up on the international weapons black market and in the hands of terrorist groups.
The Russian military and militias and officials in the Donbass and other border regions have also indicated that the Ukrainian side uses a major portion of its Western-sourced heavy weaponry to launch indiscriminate attacks against civilians.
Russian MoD briefing:
In the Kupyansk direction, the enemy, using two companies, made an unsuccessful attempt to attack the positions of Russian troops;
In the Krasny Liman direction, two Ukrainian company tactical groups again tried to cross the Zherebets River. Up to 20 Ukrainian servicemen and four pickup trucks were destroyed;
In the Zaporozhye direction, the enemy carried out counterattacks with three company tactical groups. All attacks were repelled. More than 30 Ukrainian servicemen, one tank, and three armored fighting vehicles were destroyed;
In the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction, Russian troops, supported by artillery, dispersed the enemy and pushed them back to their previous positions. About 150 Ukrainian servicemen, six tanks, and 14 vehicles, including armored fighting vehicles, were destroyed
Two fuel storage bases for Ukrainian military equipment were destroyed near the cities of Dnepropetrovsk and Pavlograd in the Dnepropetrovsk region;
In the Dnepropetrovsk region, the Russian Aerospace Forces shot down a Ukrainian Mi-24 helicopter
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's latest statements:
Biden's words about meeting with Putin are more for media consumption than for real politics;
Sweden's statement about not admitting Russia to the investigation into terrorist attack on the Nord Stream pipelines amounted to "double standards";
Russia does not refuse to conduct talks with the US on the sidelines of the G20 summit;
Putin and Erdogan will be able to discuss Turkey's mediation in the negotiations in Astana;
Russia's ban on the case of the Nord Stream terrorist attack is a double standard;
The West condemns Russia for strikes on Ukraine, but turns a blind eye to the actions of Kiev;
Saying that Russia has not responded to a request for negotiations is a lie: there was no request in the first place
Germany is set to deliver the first of four high-tech air defense systems within "days." The rush to move up the delivery comes after heavy Russian missile strikes hit major Ukrainian cities including Kyiv.
German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht on Monday said Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian population centers highlighted the urgency of delivering air defense systems to Kyiv's forces.
The long-promised systems, which are capable of protecting an entire city, were originally slated to be delivered at the end of the year. Monday's deadly strikes, however, have now sped up the delivery timeline.
What did German officials say?
Lambrecht said the Russian barrage underlined the need for the vehicle-mounted Iris-T SLM systems to be delivered quickly.
"The renewed missile fire on Kyiv and the many other cities show how important it is to supply Ukraine with air defense systems quickly," the defense minister said in a statement.
"Russia's attacks with missiles and drones terrorize above all the civilian population," Lambrecht said.
She added that the first of four high-tech air defense systems will now be "ready for the effective protection of people in the coming days."
Chancellor Olaf Scholz had promised to provide the air defense systems to Ukraine in June.
What can the air defense shields do?
The IRIS-T SLM can defend from approaching missiles at an altitude of up to 20 kilometers (12 miles) and a distance up to 40 kilometers.
According to Scholz, the defense system makes it possible to protect "an entire major city from Russian air attacks."
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Monday that Germany would do "everything it can" to help quickly bolster Ukraine's air defenses.
"It is despicable and unjustifiable for Putin to bombard large cities and civilians with missiles," Baerbock wrote on Twitter.
During the Monday morning missile strikes, the German Foreign Ministry said, a large building housing a German consulate in Kyiv was damaged. However, it added that the office had not been in use since the war broke out.
Rayakan Maulid Nabi Muhammad, Raja Maroko Ampuni 672 Terpidana
Raja Maroko, Mohammed VI/Net
Di hari peringatan kelahiran Nabi Muhammad, Raja Mohammed VI memberikan pengampunan pada 672 narapidana di Maroko pada hari Senin, 10/10/2022.
Kementerian Kehakiman Maroko mengumumkan daftar tahanan yang akan menerima pengampunan kerajaan, termasuk sembilan orang di antaranya merupakan terpidana kasus ekstremisme dan terorisme.
"Lima akan dibebaskan, sedangkan sisanya akan mendapat pengurangan hukuman. Para tahanan ini diberikan pengampunan setelah mengubah orientasi ideologis mereka," kata kementerian dalam sebuah pernyataan yang dimuat The New Arab.
Tahun ini terdapat 2.000 narapidana di penjara Maroko yang memperoleh pengampunan dari kerajaan, termasuk mereka yang dihukum dalam kasus terorisme.
Sementara itu, seruan untuk mengampuni tahanan pemberontakan Hirak Rif belum juga terdengar.
Pada tahun 2016, gerakan Hirak Rif pecah di wilayah Rif Maroko, menyusul kematian penjual ikan Mohcine Fikri di sebuah truk sampah dan di hadapan pihak berwenang.
Sejak insiden itu, protes meningkat, dengan bentrokan keras antara demonstran dan pasukan keamanan. Lebih dari 50 anggota gerakan ditangkap dan dijatuhi hukuman hingga 20 tahun penjara, termasuk ketua Hirak Rif, Nasser Zefzafi.
Rencana Maroko Selesaikan Masalah Sahara
Menurut perkiraan para aktivis, delapan tahanan dari Hirak tetap berada di penjara Maroko, terutama Nasser Zefzafi dan Nabil Ahamjik, yang keduanya dijatuhi hukuman 20 tahun atas dakwaan merencanakan agenda separatis dan berkonspirasi untuk membahayakan keamanan negara.
Sejauh ini, Nasser Zefzafi menolak pengampunan kerajaan, dengan alasan bahwa itu akan membuatnya terbukti bersalah hanya karena memprotes ketidakadilan sosial di wilayahnya.

Belasan rumah warga di Kecamatan Cibeber, Kabupaten Cianjur, Jawa Barat diterjang longsor.
Saat ini Pemerintah Kabupaten Cianjur meminta kepada masyarakat untuk tetap waspada adanya bencana alam susulan berupa longsor.
Bupati Cianjur Herman Suherman mengatakan bahwa hal itu untuk mencegah jatuhnya korban jika peristiwa itu berdampak terhadap bencana alam.
“Berdasarkan prakiraan BMKG hujan deras dan cuaca ekstrem akan melanda sebagian besar wilayah Cianjur sampai tanggal 15 Oktober, sehingga berpotensi terjadinya bencana alam serta gelombang tinggi di pesisir selatan Cianjur,” kata Herman Suherman, mengutip dari Jabarnews -jaringan Suara.com, hari Selasa, 11/10/2022.
Herman Suherman menjelaskan selama satu pekan terakhir empat kecamatan di Cianjur dilanda bencana alam berupa banjir dan longsor.
Tidak ada korban jiwa dalam kejadian itu, namun belasan kepala keluarga mengungsi karena rumahnya rusak akibat longsor di Kecamatan Cibeber.
Sekitar 100 korban banjir di empat kecamatan, seperti Cibeber, Sindangbarang, Cidaun, dan Leles, masih bisa bertahan di rumah masing-masing setelah air kembali surut.
Namun, mereka tetap diimbau waspada dan segera mengungsi ketika melihat tanda alam terjadi bencana alam susulan.
“Kita sudah memberikan bantuan untuk warga di empat kecamatan dan saya menyerahkan bantuan berupa beras, mi instan dan makanan anak ke Kecamatan Cibeber,” ucapnya.

Tidak lama setelah aliansi produsen minyak OPEC+ memutuskan minggu lalu untuk mengurangi produksi pada bulan November sebesar 2 juta barel per hari, rentetan kritik dari Washington mengarah pada targetnya seperti rudal pencari panas — dan target itu adalah, tentu saja, Arab Saudi.
Senator Chris Murphy dari Connecticut (D) menyerukan “revaluasi ulang besar-besaran aliansi AS dengan Arab Saudi,” dan sekretaris pers Gedung Putih Karine Jean-Pierre mengatakan “jelas OPEC+ bersekutu dengan Rusia.”
Orang bertanya-tanya di mana orang-orang ini berada pada bulan Maret, ketika Arab Saudi bergabung dengan 140 negara lain di PBB dalam mengecam invasi Rusia ke Ukraina.
Orang juga bertanya-tanya apakah ada di antara mereka yang mendengarkan alasan menyeluruh Menteri Energi Saudi Pangeran Abdulaziz bin Salman setelah pertemuan OPEC+. Dia menjelaskan, antara lain, bahwa aliansi harus proaktif karena bank sentral di Barat bergerak untuk mengatasi inflasi dengan suku bunga yang lebih tinggi — yang akan membuat resesi global lebih mungkin terjadi dan menyebabkan berkurangnya permintaan minyak.
"One has to wonder whether the Kingdom’s US critics think they are more committed to Ukraine’s interests than the country’s own president!"
Faisal J. Abbas, Editor-in-Chief
Ahli teori konspirasi dapat mengatakan apa yang mereka inginkan, tetapi tugas OPEC+ bukanlah untuk menampar wajah Washington, atau memihak Moskow melawan Ukraina. Aliansi itu ada untuk menjaga stabilitas pasar minyak — pasar yang membuat dunia terus berputar.
Sekarang, memang benar bahwa Kerajaan telah menjaga hubungan baik dengan Moskow, dan menawarkan diri untuk menjadi mediator yang dapat diandalkan dalam konflik ini. Namun, ketika nilai hubungan ini diakui tidak lain oleh Volodymyr Zelensky, orang harus bertanya-tanya apakah Demokrat di Washington itu berpikir mereka lebih berkomitmen untuk kepentingan Ukraina daripada presiden negara itu sendiri!
Dalam sebuah wawancara video dengan Arab News pekan lalu, Zelensky berterima kasih kepada Kerajaan dan Putra Mahkota Mohammed bin Salman atas upaya mereka untuk menengahi pertukaran tahanan terbesar dalam perang, dengan hampir 300 tahanan ditukar. “Mengingat hubungan yang dimiliki putra mahkota dengan Rusia, mungkin itu, Anda tahu, peluang sukses yang bagus, dan saya sangat berterima kasih kepadanya atas hasil yang brilian ini,” katanya.
Kebetulan, di antara tahanan yang dibebaskan oleh Rusia adalah dua orang Amerika—dan sementara Gedung Putih dan Departemen Luar Negeri mengeluarkan pernyataan singkat yang berterima kasih kepada Riyadh atas perannya, keheningan dari para kritikus Arab Saudi di Kongres memekakkan telinga. Tentu saja, pemilihan paruh waktu hanya empat minggu lagi, dan berterima kasih kepada Kerajaan karena tidak memenangkan suara.
Ini bukan hanya kritik terhadap Demokrat; Riyadh telah bekerja sangat baik di masa lalu dengan kedua partai politik utama AS. Melainkan merupakan permohonan kepada politisi oportunis untuk berhenti memperlakukan Kerajaan seperti sepak bola elektoral, untuk ditendang setiap kali orang Amerika pergi ke tempat pemungutan suara. Saudi tidak bertanggung jawab atas kesengsaraan internal Anda, atau keputusan keliru Anda
Ambil panggilan baru-baru ini oleh beberapa Demokrat untuk menghentikan penjualan senjata AS ke Arab Saudi. Sementara ini jelas berjalan baik dengan beberapa pemilih, itu menimbulkan pertanyaan serius tentang pemahaman para politisi ini tentang logika dasar
"Texas is a lot nearer than Riyadh. But perhaps Biden feels hamstrung by the pledge he made on the election campaign trail in New Hampshire in February 2020."
Faisal J. Abbas, Editor-in-Chief
Izinkan saya untuk menyederhanakannya untuk mereka. Milisi Houthi yang didukung Teheran di Yaman menggunakan drone Iran (drone yang sama digunakan oleh Rusia melawan Ukraina) untuk menargetkan tidak hanya warga sipil Saudi, tetapi juga infrastruktur energi Saudi. Sekarang, apa yang terjadi ketika kemampuan Kerajaan untuk mempertahankan diri terbatas karena keputusan AS yang keliru, dan pasokan bahan bakar dibatasi karena drone meledakkan kilang? Ekonomi dasar: harga akan naik — tepatnya hasil yang para politisi ini katakan mereka coba hindari!
Orang Amerika harus memahami bahwa harga bahan bakar di SPBU untuk pengendara AS — masalah yang begitu membebani politisi AS saat hari pemungutan suara semakin dekat — adalah konsekuensi dari keputusan yang dibuat bukan di Wina atau Riyadh, tetapi di Washington. Sebagai Menteri Luar Negeri Saudi Adel Al-Jubeir begitu meyakinkan diamati Fox News: “Alasan Anda memiliki harga tinggi di AS adalah karena Anda memiliki kekurangan penyulingan yang telah ada selama lebih dari 20 tahun. Anda belum membangun kilang dalam beberapa dekade. ”
Satu poin terakhir: Jika harga bensin sangat mengkhawatirkan bagi pemerintahan Biden, maka solusinya pasti lebih dekat ke rumah; AS adalah produsen minyak terbesar di dunia, dan Texas jauh lebih dekat daripada Riyadh. Tapi mungkin presiden merasa dilumpuhkan oleh janji yang dia buat di jalur kampanye pemilihan di New Hampshire pada Februari 2020: “Tidak ada lagi pengeboran di tanah federal, titik. Periode, periode, periode”—kesalahan penilaian lain yang hampir tidak dapat disalahkan di pintu Arab Saudi.
Seperti banyak masalah AS, harga bahan bakar dapat diselesaikan di Amerika sendiri. Tapi itu akan membutuhkan Demokrat untuk menelan harga diri mereka, bersikap masuk akal dalam negosiasi dengan pihak lain di DPR, dan untuk mengutamakan Amerika… sesuatu yang belum mereka buktikan bisa mereka lakukan!
Dikala pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia dari pandemi Covid-19 mulai merangkak pulih,gelombang pemutusan hubungan kerja (PHK) kembali menerjang.
Beberapa bulan lalu, PHK juga sudah terjadi di sejumlah startup atau usaha rintisan di dalam negeri. Kini, gelombang PHK menyebar ke sejumlah perusahaan lainnya. Apakah Indonesia di ambang resesi?
Direktur Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios) Bhima Yudhistira mengatakan, ramainya gelombang PHK di dalam negeri dikarenakan perusahaan harus menyesuaikan kapasitas produksi dan model bisnis dengan proyeksi perlambatan ekonomi yang terjadi di tahun depan.
"Naiknya biaya bahan baku, ongkos angkutan tidak berjalan lurus dengan naiknya daya beli masyarakat," ujar Bhima.
Bhima menyebutkan, beberapa perusahaan di bidang teknologi, yang sebelumnya disebut sebagai pandemi darling juga perlu memangkas karyawan karena mobilitas masyarakat yang kembali berbelanja secara fisik di toko ritel sehingga perubahan perilaku konsumen sangat mempengaruhi rencana bisnis jangka panjang.
Banyaknya PHK di tanah air juga dikarenakan adanya kenaikan tingkat suku bunga acuan yang berpengaruh terhadap cost of financing pelaku industri sehingga rencana investasi baru cenderung terhambat oleh naiknya biaya pinjaman.
Selain itu, Ia juga bilang, ketidakpastian outlook ekonomi membuat pendanaan di perusahaan rintisan juga ikut terpengaruh, sehingga investor atau modal ventura lebih selektif memilih perusahaan dengan kinerja profitabilitas yang baik dibanding mengejar market share atau valuasi.
"Dalam situasi ini, banyak karyawan yang terpaksa dipangkas sebagai langkah mengejar daya tarik investor," kata Bhima.
Bhima memproyeksi, tingkat pengangguran terbuka pada tahun depan sebesar 5,9 persen hingga 6 persen atau lebih tinggi dari data per Februari 2022 yang hanya sebesar 5,83 persen.

Sementara itu, Ekonom Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (Indef) Nailul Huda menilai, inflasi global yang sangat tinggi menjadi penyebab ramainya PHK di perusahaan dalam negeri. Di mana inflasi di negara-negara maju telah mencapai di angka 9 persen hingga 10 persen.
Huda mengatakan, inflasi tersebut membuat bank sentral beberapa negara menaikkan suku bunga acuannya sehingga akan menurunkan permintaan produk dan investasi. Pada akhirnya, dengan permintaan produk dan investasi menurun maka akan menciptakan PHK.
"Kondisi tersebut juga terjadi di Indonesia di mana kebijakan menaikkan harga BBM Pertalite menaikkan tingkat inflasi. Dengan kenaikan suku bunga acuan, maka pengangguran diprediksi akan meningkat," kata Huda.
