However, contrary to the ideal expectations, ASEAN still faces many challenges in promoting digital integration, one of which is the sizeable disparity among ASEAN countries in economic digitization. This actual condition (das sein) creates a gap with the main objective (das sollen). The main purpose of this article is to analyze the development of ASEAN's digitalization, explain the current picture of economic digitization, analyze the challenges in driving the digital economy and how to commit to it. The method used in this study is a literature study with a descriptive review variant. The study results show that taking advantage of the opportunities of an integrated digital economy will spur domestic economic growth. The use of technology and digital innovation also accelerates the productivity of the ASEAN region to be able to compete with other regions. The obstacles to digital economic integration that are still facing ASEAN are the low level of digital literacy and skills and the development of strategies that are not following the ASEAN Masterplan. Meanwhile, the key problems associated with digital integration commitments include wide digital gaps across ASEAN countries.</em></p> Arief Maulana Yana Suryana ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2024-03-27 2024-03-27 4 1 1 23 10.52421/jurnal-esensi.v4i1.430 Pengaruh Suku Bunga dan Jumlah Uang Beredar (M1) Terhadap Inflasi di Sumatera Utara https://www.ejournal.stiejb.ac.id/index.php/jurnal-esensi/article/view/441 <p>This study analyzes the effect of interest rates (BI rate) and money supply (M1) on inflation in North Sumatra Province by looking at the role of Bank Indonesia as the monetary authority. Quantitative methodology with multiple regression analysis is used in data processing in this study and uses annual data (2005-2020) obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics of North Sumatra, Bank Indonesia and the Indonesian national website which is also a source of analysis. The results show a positive and significant impact of interest rates on inflation, while money supply (M1) has a positive but insignificant impact. With a coefficient of determination of 67.36%, most of the variation in inflation is explained by interest rates (BI rate) and money supply (M1). The results have important implications for economic policy formulation and effective decision making in maintaining price stability at the regional level by Bank Indonesia</p> Ainur Oktania Jeane Alisya Noubel Putra Nainggolan Dwi Nabila Putri Frido Evindey Manihuruk ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-03-27 2024-03-27 4 1 24 36 10.52421/jurnal-esensi.v4i1.441 Kebijakan Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Alam di Indonsia pada Era Pemerintahan Jokowi https://www.ejournal.stiejb.ac.id/index.php/jurnal-esensi/article/view/449 <p>This article is an economic review of government policies in the management of natural resources in Indonesia during the era of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
