This study aims to analyze the potential for developing Wind Power Plants (PLTB) in Gorontalo Province, focusing on wind speed in several strategic locations. The consistent and relatively high wind speeds in coastal and lowland areas of Gorontalo make the region highly suitable for developing wind energy as a renewable energy source. This research utilizes meteorological data to measure wind speed at four locations: Batudaa Pantai 1, Batudaa Pantai 2, Kwandang, and Sumalata. The analysis reveals that wind speeds range from 6.73 m/s to 7.08 m/s, with electricity generation capacity per turbine ranging from 146 kW to 170 kW. The total electricity capacity that can be generated by 30 turbines across these locations is 18.9 MW. This potential provides a significant contribution to meeting renewable energy needs in Gorontalo and Indonesia in general. However, the development of PLTB in this area requires further consideration of technical, economic, social, and regulatory aspects. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study to assess the technical and economic viability, as well as the social and economic impacts on local communities. Additionally, government support in terms of policy and fiscal incentives will expedite the development of PLTB in Gorontalo, which in turn can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting sustainable energy in the future.

This study analyzes the success of the Riau Islands Province post-regional expansion in the fields of economy and infrastructure. The territorial expansion carried out in 2002 aimed to enhance government efficiency and accelerate regional development. Despite notable progress, such as economic growth exceeding the national average and controlled inflation, significant challenges remain, including dependency on transfers from the central government. The Fiscal Independence Index (IKF) indicates that most districts and cities in Riau Islands Province are still categorized as "Not Independent." Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed to increase Regional Original Income (PAD) and strengthen fiscal decentralization. The method used in this study is literature review, which involves examining and analyzing written sources such as books, articles, and academic journals. Through this method, researchers can gather relevant information and understand the context and developments in the studied field. This research also provides policy recommendations to enhance community participation in decision-making, aiming for more effective regional autonomy. Thus, this study is expected to contribute to the literature on regional expansion and local government policies in Indonesia.

The development of the National Capital City (IKN) triggers an increase in demand for goods and services, especially in the construction and basic needs sectors, which can cause a spike in regional and national inflation. Monetary policy faces new challenges, including increasing interest rates and the risk of rupiah exchange rate volatility due to dependence on foreign debt financing. These projects also influence economic distribution, creating investment opportunities, but potentially increasing economic inequality. This research emphasizes the importance of coordination between monetary and fiscal policies to mitigate negative impacts on national economic stability.

This study investigates the role of Islamic social finance in supporting green economy development across Muslim-majority countries. Islamic social finance instruments, including zakat, waqf, and sadaqah, are designed to redistribute wealth ethically and address social inequalities, while also offering potential for financing environmentally sustainable projects. Using a quantitative research design and econometric modeling with panel data, the study analyzes the impact of these instruments on environmental performance indicators such as the Green Economy Index (GEI) and Environmental Performance Index (EPI). Secondary data are collected from international sources including the OIC Statistical Database, the World Bank, and the Islamic Development Bank, covering selected countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, and Egypt. The analysis includes independent variables representing zakat distribution, waqf assets, and sadaqah volume, with control variables including GDP per capita, governance indicators, and population growth. Descriptive statistics reveal substantial variation in Islamic social finance and environmental performance across countries, indicating the importance of institutional governance and policy integration. Econometric results demonstrate a positive correlation between zakat and waqf development and environmental performance, while sadaqah contributes positively but to a lesser extent. These findings suggest that Islamic social finance can directly support environmental projects, including renewable energy initiatives, sustainable agriculture, and green infrastructure, complementing conventional fiscal tools. The study highlights the advantages of Islamic social finance in promoting justice, sustainability, and ethical allocation of resources, and it emphasizes the need to integrate green objectives into zakat and waqf operational frameworks. Policy recommendations include mainstreaming Islamic social finance into national green policies, enhancing governance and transparency, and encouraging cross-sector collaboration between financial institutions and environmental agencies. Future research is suggested to explore micro-level impacts on household and community environmental behaviors and to conduct comparative studies across regions. Overall, the study underscores the potential of Islamic social finance as a faith-driven, socially inclusive, and environmentally sustainable mechanism for supporting long-term green economic development.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the short-term and long-term economic dynamics based on the Phillips Curve regarding the relationship between inflation and unemployment. The analysis results show that there is an inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment when viewed from the Phillips Curve model in the short-term. The concept of the Natural Rate of Unemployment (NRU) and the Non-Rapid Inflationary Unemployment Rate (NAIRU) emphasizes that the relationship between inflation and unemployment in the long term will weaken due to people's inflation expectations. The results of the study also show that globalization and rapid technological developments are increasingly blurring the traditional relationship between inflation and unemployment, and the importance of adaptive monetary and fiscal policies. The results of this study provide insight for policymakers to formulate more effective strategies to manage inflation and unemployment.

This study examines the influence of monetary policy, particularly interest rates, on economic stability in the TIMI countries (Thailand, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia). It underscores the vital role of interest rates in controlling inflation and stimulating economic growth. Utilizing a Vector Autoregression (VAR) model, the research analyzes the reciprocal relationships between crucial economic indicators such as GDP, CPI, exchange rates, consumption, interest rates, and trade balances from 2008 to 2022. For instance, adjustments in interest rates can influence investment levels, consumption patterns, and inflation rates, thereby affecting overall economic activity. The Granger causality tests indicate that short-term relationships between these variables are insignificant, but long-term interactions are evident. This supports the Johansen cointegration results, which confirm two cointegrated equations at the 5% significance level. The study emphasizes maintaining interest rate stability for sustainable economic growth and price stability. It highlights that fluctuations in interest rates, influenced by global economic conditions and domestic economic policies, play a crucial role in the economic performance of TIMI countries. Recommendations for central banCM include implementing responsive and adaptive interest rate policies to manage inflation, foster economic growth, and maintain exchange rate stability. This approach is essential for addressing disparities in income, education, healthcare, and technology access, which are critical for equitable economic development. In conclusion, this research underscores the importance of a nuanced understanding of monetary policy's impact on economic stability and the need for coordinated efforts between fiscal and monetary authorities to achieve long-term

The impact of unemployment is divided into two aspects seen from economic development, namely the impact of unemployment on a country's economy and the impact of unemployment on the economy of individuals who experience it and society. The aim of this journal is to determine the impacts of unemployment on Indonesia's social and economic stability. The method used is the descriptive-qualitative analysis method. The results of this journal explain that unemployment can cause consumption to decrease, because unemployment can reduce household income, which as a result can reduce consumer spending. Overall, the social impact of unemployment can be very detrimental to Indonesian society, causing economic and psychological stress for those affected. Therefore, it is important to implement policies and programs that aim to reduce unemployment rates and support people who have difficulty finding work.

Economic development is the main goal that every country wants to achieve to improve people's welfare, reduce poverty, and encourage sustainable economic growth. This study examines the important role of philanthropic institutions and fiscal policy in encouraging economic development, both in general and from an Islamic economic perspective. Philanthropy, through voluntary contributions such as zakat, infaq, alms, and waqf, helps fill gaps that cannot be fully addressed by the public sector, improves people's welfare, and reduces socio-economic disparities. Fiscal policy, as the main tool of government, plays an important role in managing state revenues and expenditures, influencing economic growth, income distribution, and macroeconomic stability. Through in-depth literature analysis, this research finds synergies between the philanthropic sector and fiscal policy that can strengthen sustainable economic development. This study also provides insight into the development of Islamic economics in the last three decades, showing significant progress in academic research and operational practice. It is hoped that the results of this research can provide significant policy recommendations to maximize the potential of these two tools in achieving fair and sustainable economic development.

The importance of the taxation system as an economic pillar becomes increasingly prominent in the face of the complexity of international relations and ongoing technological developments. This article discusses the challenges faced by Indonesia in optimizing tax revenue and controlling tax avoidance in the era of globalization. The phenomenon of tax avoidance, particularly involving renowned companies such as PT Bentoel and Google, is a central issue in the context of taxation law in Indonesia. Its impact is significant, with reports from the Tax Justice Network estimating the country's losses at US$4.86 billion per year or approximately IDR 68.7 trillion. Tax avoidance not only has a negative impact on tax revenue but also has the potential to undermine the overall effectiveness of the taxation system. Indonesia is confronted with the expansion of tax avoidance practices, especially by companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, reinforcing the urgency to address this issue within the existing taxation legal framework. This research adopts a qualitative method with a focus on tax supervision and enforcement to explore efforts to combat tax crimes in Indonesia. Thus, this study is expected to provide an in-depth understanding of the root issues and formulate effective solutions to enhance the effectiveness of Indonesia's taxation system. The research findings are anticipated to serve as a foundation for the development of a more effective national fiscal policy, addressing loopholes in the taxation legal framework, and preventing detrimental tax avoidance practices.
