Alleviation Poverty in Bali is only limited to the Project

Economic observer Prof. Dr. Ketut Rahyuda, MSIE. recognizing the success of development in an area, cannot be seen solely from the GRDP or per capita income. However, it must also be seen in terms of equity in accordance with the Human Development Index (HDI) such as health and education.

"The GRDP is not the only indicator of the success of development. Because, so far the GRDP in Bali has been absorbed more by migrants (duktang) or not native to Bali, '' he said.

Ketut Rahyuda previously also admitted that the scours of dollars generated by the tourism sector had not been a breath of fresh air for the people. Because the income from the sector that is a mainstay of Bali evaporates or runs out (capital flight), as a result of being triggered by production and large-scale industry players in this sector are dominated from outside.

''The occurrence of a large capital flight in the Balinese economy due to the owners of capital who are mostly not Balinese and live outside Bali. Certainly making the income they generate runs out of Bali, '' he said.

That is, there is no multiplayer effect of tourism growth due to high capital flight. The money generated from this superior sector is not enjoyed by the local community, because most investors are from outside.
