Bandung City (ANTARA) - The Bandung City Government achieved third place nationally in the 2026 Integrated One-Stop Service (PTSP) Performance Assessment and the Performance of the Regional Government's Business Implementation Acceleration (PPB) at the 2026 Investment Service Award event. Bandung Mayor Muhammad Farhan said the award, initiated by the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), is a recognition of efforts to provide fast, easy, transparent licensing services and provide certainty for business actors. "We want to ensure that every investor coming to Bandung receives the best possible service. The easier the licensing process and the greater the business certainty, the greater the investment opportunities," Farhan said in Bandung on Tuesday. Farhan said the award was proof that the Bandung City Government's efforts to reform the bureaucracy and improve the quality of public services were on the right track. He believes investment plays a strategic role in driving regional economic growth, creating jobs, and improving public welfare. Therefore, ease of doing business must continue to be a priority for local governments. "The impact will certainly be felt directly by the community through the creation of job opportunities and increased economic activity," he said. Farhan believes the award also motivates the Bandung City Government to continue improving and innovating its services, including through strengthening digital integration and simplifying bureaucracy. "We won't stop here. In fact, this award is a driving force to continue improving service quality, strengthening digital integration, reducing unnecessary bureaucracy, and ensuring public services are increasingly adaptive to the needs of the public and the business world," he said. Meanwhile, Secretary of the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/Principal Secretary of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rudy Salahuddin, explained that the performance assessment of PTSP and PPB aims to evaluate the quality of licensing services while encouraging the standardization of investment services throughout Indonesia. The 2026 assessment involved 571 assessment objects consisting of 25 ministries/institutions and 546 local governments, covering 38 provinces, 415 districts, and 93 cities. "The evaluation results show that there are still a number of challenges that require attention, particularly regarding strengthening the competency of human resources in licensing services," he said.

Bandung (ANTARA) - Commission III of the West Java Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the performance of regional revenues and banking of regionally-owned enterprises (BUMD) in the Cirebon area, highlighting the challenges of Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) arrears and the imbalance in the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) at Bank BJB. Chairman of Commission III of the West Java Provincial DPRD, Jajang Rohana, explained that his party initiated an evaluation at the Regional Revenue Management Center (P3D) or Samsat of Cirebon Regency to monitor revenue realization after the 2026 Revised Regional Budget was determined. He said the high number of Vehicles Not Re-Registered (KTMDU) was the main obstacle to vehicle tax revenue collection. "We are monitoring the development of regional revenue from the tax sector. Following the enactment of the Revised Regional Budget (APBD), we hope the set targets can be achieved. However, the biggest challenge currently lies with Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB), where the number of unregistered vehicles (KTMDU) remains quite high," said Jajang Rohana in Bandung on Thursday. He projected PKB revenue to be in the range of 90 percent and instructed all Samsat/P3D units throughout West Java to work extra hard to increase public compliance. In addition to tax revenue, Commission III of the West Java Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) evaluated the operational performance of Bank BJB Regional Office III in Cirebon Regency. Despite posting growth, the LDR indicator was sharply lower because Third Party Fund (DPK) collection was not keeping pace with credit expansion. "Overall, there's been an improvement in performance, but our regional focus is on the LDR. The Third Party Funds (DPK) collected are still relatively small compared to the credit disbursement. Going forward, Bank bjb must be able to encourage the public to be more active in saving their funds with the bank," he said. Jajang added that Bank BJB should appear more dominant compared to its national bank competitors because it is supported by the full backbone of the provincial government and district/city governments throughout West Java. Beyond banking and tax issues, Commission III also encouraged the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) to prioritize labor-intensive investment schemes to reduce local unemployment. Meanwhile, the West Java DPRD urged the Regional-Owned Enterprises, Investment and Development Administration Bureau (BIA) to take steps to improve and revitalize the business structure of BUMDs whose performance is minimal so that all assets belonging to the West Java Provincial Government can contribute optimally to Regional Original Income (PAD). "We recommend that all partners maximize their performance, including the BIA Bureau. In the investment sector, investments coming into West Java are expected to be not only capital-intensive but also labor-intensive to optimally absorb the local workforce," Jajang said. [Source]

KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. The development of waste-to-energy (PSEL) facilities has entered the construction phase in several regions in Indonesia. As of September 2026, the government recorded that four PSEL projects with National Strategic Project (PSN) status had officially broken ground with a total investment value reaching IDR 15.9 trillion. These four projects are part of the government's efforts to accelerate the development of waste management infrastructure while encouraging the use of waste as an energy source. The greenfield project was realized based on the mandate of Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 109 of 2025 concerning the Acceleration of Development of Waste Processing Infrastructure into Electrical Energy based on Environmentally Friendly Technology. The construction of the four PSEL facilities is also projected to create thousands of jobs and become part of an integrated waste management solution, particularly in the Java and Bali regions. "(The PSEL project) is first in Bali, second Legok Nangka, third Bekasi City, fourth here in Bogor City and Bogor Regency (Bogor Raya 1)," said Coordinating Minister for Food, Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas) after the inauguration of PSEL in Galuga Village, Bogor, Thursday (17/9/2026). The latest project to be added to the list is PSEL Bogor Raya 1 in Galuga Village, Cibungbulang, Bogor Regency. The groundbreaking ceremony for this project took place on September 17, 2026. With an investment value of Rp 2.8 trillion, PSEL Bogor Raya 1 was developed by Nusantara Bogor New Energy together with technology partner Zhejiang Weiming Environment Co., Ltd. The facility is targeted to begin operations in mid-2028. PSEL Bogor Raya 1 will utilize moving grate incinerator technology and a multi-layered Air Pollution Control System (APCS) that adheres to EU IED international standards. This facility has a processing capacity of up to 1,500 tons of waste per day. In addition to helping address the waste problem in the Bogor area, the construction of this facility is projected to absorb up to 1,200 local workers. PSEL Bekasi Previously, the Bekasi PSEL project located in Ciketing Udik, Bantar Gebang, Bekasi City, had its groundbreaking on August 26, 2026. The project, developed by PT Bekasi Environment Nusantara, requires an investment of IDR 3 trillion and is targeted to begin full operations in mid-2028. The Bekasi PSEL facility is designed to have a waste processing capacity of up to 1,500 tons per day. The technology used includes a moving grate incinerator and a multi-layered APCS (Agricultural Waste Management System) that meets EU IED standards. The development of the PSEL project, which is included in the PSN, is estimated to create jobs for up to 1,000 people. PSEL Legok Nangka Meanwhile, the Legok Nangka PSEL in West Java is the project with the largest investment value among the four facilities that have broken ground, with an investment value of US$400 million, or approximately Rp 7.1 trillion. The project was developed through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) scheme by PT Jabar Environmental Solutions (JES). Groundbreaking for the Legok Nangka PSEL took place on July 31, 2026. The facility has a power generation capacity of 40.79 MW. It will process 1,853 to 2,131 tons of waste per day from Bandung City, Cimahi, Bandung Regency, West Bandung, Sumedang, and Garut. PSEL Legok Nangka targets a Commercial Operation Date (COD) in the fourth quarter of 2029 or the first quarter of 2030. During the construction period, this project is projected to absorb around 1,565 workers. PSEL Bali In Bali, the PSEL project in Pedungan Village, South Denpasar, was the first facility to begin construction. The groundbreaking ceremony for the project took place on July 8, 2026. The Bali PSEL was initiated by the Project Implementing Business Entity (BUPP) PT Nusantara Bali New Energy with an investment value of IDR 3 trillion. The waste processing facility is designed to have a processing capacity of up to 1,500 tons of waste per day. The technology used is a moving grate incinerator and a multi-layered APCS (Agricultural Equipment and Supplies) that adheres to the EU IED international emission standards. The Bali PSEL project is targeted to begin operations in the first semester of 2028 and is estimated to create up to 1,200 jobs. With the commencement of construction of the four PSEL projects, the total available waste processing capacity has reached over 6,353 tons per day. Meanwhile, the potential employment potential of these four projects reaches 4,965 people. [Source]

Bogor Regency (ANTARA) - The Bogor Regency Government, West Java, stated that the construction of the Galuga Waste to Electricity Processing Plant (PSEL) will absorb an initial investment of US$160 million. Bogor Regent Rudy Susmanto in Sentul, Wednesday, said the investment would be used to build a modern waste processing facility serving Bogor Regency and Bogor City. "This is the stage where the Bogor Regency Government, together with the central government, is implementing a more modern waste management approach, namely waste-to-energy processing, with an initial investment of US$160 million," said Rudy. The construction of the Galuga PSEL will be marked by a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday (17/9), after the local government handed over the land for the project. The Bogor Regency Government has allocated an initial 10 hectares of land for the construction of the PSEL facility. According to Rudy, approximately 24 hectares of land is available should capacity expansion be required in the future. The Galuga PSEL requires a waste supply of around 2,000 tons per day originating from Bogor Regency and Bogor City. Rudy stated that Bogor Regency produces around 3,000 tons of waste per day, with a population of around 6.1 million. Meanwhile, Bogor City produces around 700-1,000 tons of waste per day. "So for today's conditions, there is a surplus of waste," he said. Danantara Senior Vice President of Stakeholder Relations Dede Firmansyah said the Galuga PSEL project has entered the construction phase after the groundbreaking and is targeted to be operational in the second to third quarter of 2028. According to him, the facility uses incinerator technology to process new waste or fresh waste produced every day. In this cooperation scheme, the regional government is obliged to provide land and fulfill the specified amount of waste supply. However, Dede said that local governments are not burdened with tipping fees or waste processing costs. "The positive thing is the elimination of tipping fees , which were previously a burden on the region," said Dede. The electricity generated from this waste processing will then be absorbed by PLN, the offtaker. The power generation capacity is estimated to be between 20 and 30 megawatts, depending on the quantity and quality of the waste processed. In addition to PSEL, Rudy said the Galuga area is also planned to be equipped with a pyrolysis facility with an initial investment of around IDR 600 billion. The facility is aimed at processing old waste that has been piled up in Galuga for around 34 years into liquid fuel, while PSEL is focused on processing new waste. [Source]

Bogor Regency, West Java (ANTARA) - The Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (Danantara) revealed that the Bogor Raya 1 Waste to Electricity Processing (PSEL) project is projected to supply green energy to more than 100,000 homes in the Bogor Raya community. "From an energy perspective, this initiative will produce green energy that can supply more than 100,000 homes in the Greater Bogor area," said BPI Danantara Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Pandu Patria Sjahrir at the inauguration of the Bogor Raya 1 PSEL development in Bogor Regency, West Java on Thursday. Pandu said that the PSEL Bogor Raya 1 project was designed to provide a real impact on waste management, green energy, and empower the local economy by referring to environmental standards. This project, he continued, is targeted to be able to process more than 500,000 tons of waste per year or around 45 percent of the waste generation that can be processed in the city and district of Bogor. According to him, from an environmental perspective, PSEL is also projected to reduce waste emissions from final disposal sites (TPA) by up to 80 percent and reduce carbon emissions by 640,000 tons of CO2 equivalent per year. "This initiative is also worth Rp2.8 trillion in investment and, God willing, will create around 1,200 jobs and reduce the need for landfill space by around 80 percent," Pandu said. He said that today the progress of the PSEL Bogor Raya 1 development project has entered an important stage, namely the signing of the power purchase agreement. And this, said Pandu, marks the readiness to encourage the realization of integrated waste management solutions in Indonesia, which will continue in Greater Bogor after Danantara did so in Bekasi City and Greater Denpasar. For information, Coordinating Minister for Food Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas) said the government is simplifying regulations for the development of Waste Processing into Electrical Energy (PSEL) projects to accelerate the handling of urban waste problems. According to him, the construction of the waste-to-energy processing facility had previously been slow because developers had to go through various stages of approval, licensing, and inter-agency coordination. He gave an example that developers must coordinate with the local government, the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), the provincial government, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Environment, and PT PLN (Persero) before the project can be realized.

West Bandung -The Pasir Buluh Integrated Waste Processing Facility (TPST) project in Lembang District, West Bandung Regency (KBB) is included in the list of 12 best infrastructure projects at the 2026 West Java Investment Challenge (WJIC). The West Java chapter of Bank Indonesia (BI) and the West Java Provincial Government are involved in the investment screening process. The goal is to screen potential basic service projects for potential offerings to domestic and global investors. Meanwhile, the Pasir Buluh TPST (landfill site) itself is being prepared by the West Bandung Regency Government as a circular economy-based waste management site. This step is being taken to maximize resource utilization while minimizing waste. "WJIC is not just a forum for evaluating investment projects, but rather a collaborative space to present projects that have certainty, readiness, and real impact for the community. We are proud and ready to work on and develop circular economy-based waste management at the Pasir Buluh TPST with investment partners," said West Bandung Regent Jeje Ritchie Ismail on Wednesday (September 16, 2026). Many regions currently face waste management challenges. According to Jeje, a circular economy approach offers a gradual solution to waste management challenges. This concept not only reduces waste generation but also creates new economic value. Through this program, the West Bandung Regency Government aims to increase the capacity of integrated waste management, reduce the burden on Final Processing Sites (TPA), and produce economically valuable products such as refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and recycled materials. "Furthermore, West Kalimantan (KBB) has diverse characteristics as a tourist area, agricultural area, residential area, and economic growth center. This WJIC visit is expected to provide a comprehensive picture of the Pasir Buluh TPST Project's readiness, including location, local government support, technical readiness, and other aspects," said Jeje. To support the acceleration of the realization of this strategic investment, the West Bandung Regency Government is committed to providing full support through simplifying licensing, strengthening coordination between regional agencies, and providing supporting infrastructure. "This is a concrete step to strengthen sustainable investment, improve community welfare, and realize a TRUSTED West Bandung," said Jeje. [Source]

PenaKu.ID – West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi has revised the initial projection of the 2026 West Java Regional Budget (APBD) deficit. After reconciliation, the potential deficit, which was previously estimated at IDR 5.7 trillion, has now decreased to IDR 3.4 trillion. Dedi said the reduction in the deficit was achieved after the West Java Provincial Government conducted a reconciliation of the regional financial condition. "Finally, the deficit was reduced from Rp5.7 trillion to Rp3.4 trillion," said Dedi Mulyadi, Friday (September 11, 2026). Dedi Mulyadi: Tax Revenue Sharing Funds Not Yet Paid According to Dedi, the potential deficit in the 2026 West Java Regional Budget is influenced by several factors. One of these is the unpaid tax revenue sharing from the central government to the West Java Provincial Government from 2023 to 2026. Apart from the issue of tax revenue sharing, cigarette excise revenue this year also did not reach the set target. Another factor comes from electric vehicles which are not subject to motor vehicle tax. Massive Development Contributes to the Deficit Dedi also stated that the massive development implementation in various regions of West Java was one of the factors contributing to the potential 2026 regional budget deficit. This development was carried out to reach remote areas in West Java. Given these conditions, the West Java Provincial Government estimates that there is still a potential deficit of IDR 3.4 trillion. Dedi Mulyadi Considers Loan to PT SMI To address the potential deficit, the West Java Provincial Government is considering applying for a loan from PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (SMI), a financial management company under the Ministry of Finance. Dedi explained that the loan repayment will use revenue sharing funds from the central government which are still receivables of the West Java Provincial Government. "We applied for a loan from PT SMI, and the Ministry of Finance paid because we have outstanding receivables," said Dedi. However, the loan application plan has not yet been finalized. The West Java Provincial Government will first assess the region's financial capacity. If the West Java Provincial Government's cash flow is still sufficient to meet budget needs, a loan to PT SMI will not necessarily be requested. [Source]

Jakarta | Antero.co – The General Chairman of the World Sundanese Community (Masda), Inspector General of Police (Ret.) Drs. Anton Charliyan, MPKN, commonly known as Abah Anton Charliyan, encouraged Chinese entrepreneurs to strengthen cooperation and investment in West Java. This was conveyed by Abah Anton when he was a speaker at the 10th anniversary event of the International Business of the Jiangxi Entrepreneurs Association of the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce which was held at the Grand Mercure Kemayoran Hotel, Jakarta, Saturday (12/9/2026). The event was also attended by Deputy Chairman of the MPR RI Bambang Soesatyo, Major General TNI (Ret.) Herwin, Anita Fitria, SH, MH, General Chairperson of Jiangxi Indonesia Hong Yongnian, as well as representatives of Jiangxi from Southeast Asia, Japan, Europe, and America. In his presentation, Abah Anton said that West Java has great potential to be developed through investment cooperation, especially in the industrial, tourism, agriculture, plantation and fisheries sectors. He also explained about the existence of the Sundanese community who not only live in West Java, but are also spread across Banten, parts of DKI Jakarta, and various regions in Indonesia. According to Abah Anton, West Java is one of Indonesia's important industrial centers. He cited the Bekasi and Karawang areas as areas with large industrial concentrations. In addition to the industrial sector, Abah Anton highlighted the development of the Rebana metropolitan and industrial area in northern West Java. This area encompasses several areas, including Indramayu, Cirebon City, Cirebon Regency, Kuningan, Subang, Majalengka, and Sumedang. "West Java has significant potential for development, both in the industrial sector and elsewhere. The Rebana area is expected to become a major attraction for investors," said Abah Anton in his presentation. He also mentioned investment and employment targets for the development of the area. However, the investment and employment figures provided still need to be confirmed through official data from the local government or relevant agencies. Apart from industry, Abah Anton believes that West Java has great potential in the tourism sector due to its diverse natural conditions, including mountainous areas. The agriculture and plantation sectors are also considered promising for development, particularly coffee, tea, and vegetables. Furthermore, the fisheries sector is said to be a potential area for economic cooperation. He hopes that the presence of Jiangxi entrepreneurs in Indonesia can provide real benefits to the national economy, especially for the people of West Java. "It is hoped that Jiangxi's presence in Indonesia will truly bring real prosperity to the Indonesian people, especially the Sundanese and West Javanese people," he said. Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman of the MPR RI Bambang Soesatyo hopes that investments by Jiangxi entrepreneurs can contribute to improving the welfare of the Indonesian people. "We hope that Jiangxi entrepreneurs, through their investments, can significantly help improve the welfare of the Indonesian people," said Bambang. Chairman of Jiangxi Indonesia, Hong Yongnian, expressed his commitment to continue contributing and developing investment in Indonesia. However, he hopes the government will provide support in the form of security and legal certainty for investors, especially those who will invest in West Java. According to him, security and legal certainty are important factors for investment to run smoothly and not create obstacles for entrepreneurs coming to Indonesia. "We will continue to contribute and invest in Indonesia. However, we ask for concrete support from the Indonesian government, particularly in West Java, in the areas of security and legal certainty," said Hong Yongnian. [Source]

The Head of the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) of Karawang Regency, Iwan Ridwan, said that the investment achievement shows that investor confidence in Karawang remains high. Based on data from the West Java Province DPMPTSP, the total Karawang investment realization in Semester I 2026 reached IDR 20,433,412,276,023. This value consists of Foreign Investment (PMA) of IDR 15,957,442,033,511 and Domestic Investment (PMDN) of IDR 4,475,970,242,512. "Investment realization in the first half of 2026 showed positive results. This demonstrates that Karawang remains an attractive region for investors," said Iwan on Monday (September 14, 2026). In addition to investment value, incoming capital also impacts employment. Throughout the first semester of 2026, investment in Karawang was recorded as employing 15,030 workers. Of this number, 9,499 workers came from PMA investment, while 5,531 other workers came from PMDN. Investment activity is also evident in the number of Investment Activity Reports (LKPM) submitted by business actors. As of the first semester of 2026, 7,518 LKPMs were recorded. In detail, 3,164 LKPMs came from PMA companies and 4,354 LKPMs from PMDN companies.

The Bekasi Regency Government, West Java, is targeting investment realization of IDR 70 trillion throughout 2026 as an effort to strengthen economic growth while opening up wider job opportunities for the local community. "Currently, the investment value that has entered Bekasi Regency is IDR 50 trillion. I have a target of IDR 70 trillion entering Bekasi Regency by the end of this year," said Acting Bekasi Regent Asep Surya Atmaja in Cikarang, West Java, on Sunday. He assessed the target as realistic and highly achievable, given that the region is one of the largest industrial centers in Southeast Asia with very high levels of corporate activity. This situation provides crucial capital to continue attracting new investment to the region. Currently, there are 9,100 companies operating in 11 industrial areas, eight of which are large industrial areas. "And if we look at the smallest, or based on Business Identification Number (NIB), there are 58,000 companies operating in Bekasi Regency," he said. In addition to the number of companies with industrial estate capital being one of the main drivers of the regional economy, investment sustainability is closely related to a conducive business climate that is able to attract investor interest. "Sustainable investment must be truly supported by creating a safe and conducive environment. If Bekasi is shaken, we don't know what the capital will be like. That's why we must truly maintain a conducive environment," he said. The party is committed to building healthy and equitable industrial relations between local governments, workers, and employers to support the realization of these investment targets. The regional government views workers not merely as part of the production process, but as strategic partners of the government in maintaining economic growth and the sustainability of the business world. "Fair industrial relations and conducive investment are highly relevant and a shared commitment that we must realize. Laborers are not merely factors of production, but strategic partners in economic development," he said. The Bekasi Regency Government affirmed its readiness to act as a facilitator in building communication between workers, employers, and the government. It is hoped that various labor issues can be resolved through constructive dialogue and negotiation. "God willing, I will sign what my fellow workers want and aspire to, of course, through negotiation mechanisms and within the company's capabilities. We are also striving to maintain a conducive investment climate and provide convenience for investors interested in entering Bekasi," he said. [Source]

Independennews.com | Bekasi – National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has urged business owners to report illegal levies, thuggery, and crimes that disrupt business and investment activities in Indonesia. The National Police Chief made the statement while attending the Grand Consolidation of the Federation of Indonesian Metal Workers Unions (FSPMI) in the MM2100 Industrial Area, Bekasi Regency, West Java on Friday, September 11, 2026. The National Police Chief said that the police must immediately respond to the report and follow up firmly in accordance with legal provisions. "Entrepreneurs and companies who encounter acts of thuggery, extortion, or other crimes are welcome to report them. I urge the police to take immediate action so that investors will not hesitate to enter Indonesia," Listyo said. The activity carried the theme "Fair Industrial Relations and Investment Conduciveness". The event was attended by approximately 2,000 workers from around 1,200 companies in the MM2100 Industrial Area and its surroundings. The National Police Chief said that security stability is one of the foundations for the sustainability of the business world. According to him, a well-maintained security situation can provide a sense of security to workers and support the smooth operation of the company. Furthermore, security conditions are considered related to investor confidence. The Indonesian National Police (Polri) stated that they will continue to provide protection and legal certainty to ensure industrial activities run safely and sustainably. "The National Police want to reassure entrepreneurs and investors that Indonesia is a safe and conducive place to invest. The National Police will continue to provide security guarantees so that investment and business activities can run smoothly and sustainably," said the National Police Chief. On the other hand, Listyo reminded that investment conduciveness is not only determined by security factors. Companies must also comply with regulations, fulfill workers' rights, and build fair and harmonious industrial relations. According to him, workers and entrepreneurs are two elements that need each other. Companies need worker support to maintain production, while workers need healthy and growing companies as a source of livelihood. Therefore, the Chief of Police encouraged the government, employers, workers, and labor unions to prioritize communication and deliberation in resolving labor issues. Differences in interests, he said, should not develop into conflicts that are detrimental to workers, companies, or the economy. Meanwhile, the government stated that Indonesia has potential as an investment destination due to its natural resources, large domestic market, and downstream development in various strategic sectors. National investment realization reached IDR 1,010.6 trillion by the first semester of 2026. During the same period, West Java recorded investment of IDR 138 trillion. Bekasi Regency is one of the pillars of West Java's investment growth. In the first quarter of 2026, investment realization in Bekasi Regency reached IDR 31.7 trillion, or 41.29 percent of West Java's total investment of IDR 76.8 trillion. Furthermore, the National Police Chief urged the government, employers, workers, and labor unions to work together to create a safe industrial environment, equitable labor relations, and an investment climate that benefits all parties.

RADAR JABAR - PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, or BRI, through its Financial Institution Pension Fund (DPLK), has reaffirmed its commitment to implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and sustainable finance. This commitment was recognized through the 2026 Kehati ESG Award, with DPLK BRI winning the Capital Markets award for the Pension Fund category. The award was presented on Thursday, August 6, 2026, at Soehanna Hall, The Energy Building, 2nd Floor, SCBD Lot 11A, Jakarta. The ceremony was also attended by the Chairman of the BRI DPLK Management, Arie Sus Miyanti. The Kehati ESG Award is a form of appreciation from the Indonesian Biodiversity Foundation (KEHATI) for financial services institutions that are deemed to consistently implement ESG principles, including through asset and investment management that takes environmental, social, and governance aspects into account and supports sustainable development. BRI's DPLK's commitment to implementing ESG principles is reflected in the strengthening of its ESG-based investment portfolio. As of April 2026, BRI's DPLK's total assets under management (AUM) reached IDR 31.54 trillion. Of this amount, the ESG-based investment portfolio reached IDR 13.30 trillion, an increase compared to IDR 12.53 trillion at the end of 2025. Thus, BRI's DPLK's ESG-based assets accounted for 42.1% of its total AUM as of April 2026. Strengthening the ESG-based investment portfolio is part of BRI's DPLK's efforts to support the development of a sustainable financial ecosystem through fund management that takes environmental, social, and governance aspects into account. The implementation of these principles is being carried out in stages and integrated with BRI's DPLK investment management strategy. On the social front, BRI's DPLK (Pension Fund for Pensioners) is expanding access to participation, particularly for non-wage workers or those in the informal sector. This step is part of an effort to broaden public access to retirement fund preparation programs, ensuring that the benefits of pension fund management reach a wider audience. Meanwhile, from an environmental perspective, BRI's DPLK (Financial Services Institution) is implementing more environmentally friendly operational processes through the implementation of a paperless digital registration system, or digital onboarding. This initiative not only supports administrative efficiency but also reduces the use of physical documents in operational activities. ESG implementation is also strengthened through governance through investment management that prioritizes prudent principles. DPLK BRI is also developing Application Programming Interface (API) integration for corporate clients and expanding DPLK BRI's service channels through the BRI e-channel ecosystem. This development aims to support faster, more transparent, and digitally integrated participant data management. BRI Treasury and International Banking Director Farida Thamrin said that the appreciation received by DPLK BRI confirms that sustainability principles have been fully integrated into BRI Group operations. "As part of the BRI Group ecosystem, BRI's DPLK plays a strategic role in managing long-term funds that provide optimal investment returns while supporting sustainable development. We believe that integrating ESG principles into business operations serves to strengthen the resilience of the financial industry and distribute real benefits more broadly to society and the environment," Farida emphasized. In addition to the BRI DPLK, BRI, as the founder, also received an award in the Debt & Project Financing category as an Investor/Creditor at the same event. These two achievements reinforce the BRI Group's commitment to implementing ESG principles and sustainable finance, both through pension fund management and financing and investment activities. Going forward, BRI and DPLK BRI will continue to strengthen the implementation of ESG principles in sustainable business and investment management, while prioritizing the principles of prudence, good governance, and long-term value creation for customers, participants, shareholders, and other stakeholders.

Bandung (ANTARA) - The Bandung Regency Government (Pemkab), West Java, is accelerating environmental approvals as part of the business licensing process to support investment and increase regional original income (PAD). Bandung Regent Dadang Supriatna said in Bandung on Wednesday that the acceleration of licensing needs to be carried out through coordination between regional officials, developers, companies, and consultants so that the process runs effectively according to regulations. "If the consultant can provide maximum assistance, I don't think the Environment Agency will hinder it. So, there must be positive cooperation to help accelerate development," he said. According to him, the process of managing environmental documents such as UKL-UPL (Environmental Management Efforts and Environmental Monitoring Efforts) and Amdal (Environmental Impact Analysis) must be carried out effectively, including immediately following up on any corrections given by the Environmental Service. Of the approximately 26 environmental documents previously processed at the Bandung Regency Environmental Service, 11 documents have been completed, while the other documents are still in the completion stage. Dadang emphasized that relevant regional authorities also need to carry out the licensing process simultaneously so that developers do not have to wait for one stage to complete other requirements. "The Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUTR) Department is also working simultaneously. Don't wait for approval to begin. Developers or applicants can submit their applications to the Environment Department and work in parallel with the PUTR Department," he said. He asked developers and consultants to be more proactive in fulfilling licensing requirements and to immediately follow up on documents that still require improvement. "I want it to happen quickly, so we don't want any delays or obstacles for developers planning to develop in Bandung Regency," he said. Dadang hopes that coordination between the regional government and business actors will continue to be strengthened so that the licensing process in Bandung Regency can run quickly, effectively, and provide certainty for investment development.
