User:TheBrowniess/Sabang Free Trade Area and Free Port Authority

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sabang Free Port and Free Trade Area Authority, (Indonesian: Badan Pengusahaan Kawasan Perdagangan Bebas dan Pelabuhan Bebas Sabang) usually shortened to just the Sabang Area Authority (Indonesian: Badan Pengusahaan Kawasan Sabang; BPKS), is the governing body in Indonesia responsible for developing and managing the Sabang Free Port and Free Trade Area, a designated zone in Aceh that operates under specific regulations, benefits, and exemptions, to promote trade and economic development. The designated Sabang area includes the city of Sabang and surrounding islands such as Weh Island, Klah Island, among others.

The body is overseen by the Sabang Area Council, which is composed of representatives from the local government, including the Governor of Aceh, the Regent of Great Aceh, and the Mayor of Sabang.

History

[edit]

The Sabang Area Authority was established through Law No. 37 of 2000, which created the framework for the development of Sabang as a Free Trade Zone (FTZ) and Free Port. Law No. 11 of 2006 on the Government of Aceh granted greater authority to the local government.

In 2006, the Governor of Aceh issued a "Master Plan" which outlined a blueprint for Sabang's economic growth from 2007 through 2021. This master plan aimed to develop Sabang into a leading center for international trade.

In 2010, Government Regulation No. 83 granted further authority to the Sabang Area Council, and by extension the BPKS, to more freely manage a wide range of sectors in Sabang, including trade, industry, tourism, transportation, fisheries, etc.

Structure

[edit]

The Sabang Area Authority is led by a head and deputy head, who are both supported by several members.

The head and vice head, along with the membership, are appointed and dismissed by the Sabang Area Council, based on the considerations of the local Aceh House of Representatives.
