Commemorating Jakarta's 492nd Anniversary, Jakarta Governor, Anies Baswedan opens Jakarta Great Sale Festival (FJGS) 2019 with theme "Shopping Spirit" at AEON Mall, Cakung, East Jakarta, on Saturday (5/25).

FJGS 2019 is an annual event held by Jakarta Provincial Government which collaborates with Jakarta DPD's Indonesia Shopping Center Management Association (APPBI). It is held from May 25 to June 23 and participated by 82 shopping centers or malls, 34 Pasar Jaya's stalls and Mini DC, 4 hotels, and Micro Small Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) under Jakarta National Crafts Council (Dekranasda).

Anies hopes FJGS to run well this year because currently retail stores face a tough competition with e-Commerce.

"I expect FJGS can enhance our economy better thus Jakartans can be more prosperous," he expressed.
