Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the economic situation of Bali declined sharply. As foreign tourists suddenly did not go to Bali, we disastrously affected locals mainly engaged in tourism and tourism-related industry. They tend to look for alternative jobs, mainly in the informal sectors, to ensure their survival in a pandemic situation. Some of them changed their work by creating startup entrepreneurs in the form of micro and small businesses. People are curious about how the government, especially the local government, can solve this problem in a health emergency and economic crisis. This paper aims to analyze the role of the local governments in Bali in encouraging and stimulating people to generate income to survive during and after the pandemic. Specifically, this paper evaluates the normative contents of law and regulation related to economic improvement and observes the dynamic adjustment of technical policies issued by local government. It is designed as normative legal research that applies a statutory approach. It collects relevant legal documents and reports as well as scientific analysis provided in journal articles. This paper suggests that local governments in Bali have complied with national law and regulation when addressing the issues related to the pandemic and have also issued policies and creating programs that are in line with the national policy and schemes. Bali’s local governments faced uncertainty and dilemma when responding to the economic problem arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. The gradual decrease of regional revenue entails that local governments in Bali have to rely on the national government’s economic policies, schemes, and programs.
