Ukuran:

BPKH menyoroti potensi 1,3 juta calon jamaah haji baru di Jawa Timur yang belum tergarap, sebab dari 41 juta penduduk Muslim, baru sekitar 2 persen yang mendaftar—angka yang lebih rendah dibanding Sulawesi Selatan (4 persen) dan Malaysia (20 persen). Potensi ekonomi dari tambahan pendaftar ini disebut mencapai Rp30 triliun ke perbankan syariah melalui setoran awal Rp25 juta per jamaah. BPKH mengidentifikasi hambatan berupa persepsi haji sebagai urusan orang tua, keterbatasan pencairan BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, dan literasi yang belum merata, serta mengoptimalkan digitalisasi lewat BPKH Apps.

Poin-Poin Utama

BPKH targets 1.3 million new potential hajj pilgrims from East Java.
East Java has 41 million Muslim residents.
Only about 2 percent of East Java's Muslim population have registered for hajj.
South Sulawesi registration rate is 4 percent.
Malaysia registration rate is 20 percent.
Each new hajj registrant must pay an initial deposit of Rp25 million to a sharia bank.
1.3 million new registrants represent Rp30 trillion potential inflow to sharia banking.
Sharia banking market share currently stands at 8 percent.
Main barrier is youth perception that hajj is only for the elderly.
Many workers wait for pension fund disbursement before registering.
BPJS Ketenagakerjaan currently does not allow pension fund withdrawal for hajj purposes.
Hajj literacy remains uneven despite East Java being known as a city of Islamic boarding schools.
BPKH launched BPKH Apps to digitalize hajj services.
