To Boost Economic Growth Through the Household Sector, the Garut Regent Urged Banks to Expand Financial Access

GARUT, Tarogong Kaler – Garut Regent Abdusy Syakur Amin emphasized the importance of the household sector in boosting regional economic growth. He made this statement while attending the 2026 Bank BIJ Budget Kickoff event held at the Harmoni Garut Hotel on Jalan Cipanas Baru, Tarogong Kaler District, Friday (12/19/2025). The Garut Regent identified three main drivers of economic development in Garut Regency: government spending, investment, and household consumption. Given the limited government spending, Syakur continues to encourage foreign investment in Garut. "Investment was slightly hampered yesterday, but thank God, I met with a Taiwanese company and a Korean company. They will invest approximately 350 billion rupiah in Garut Regency. This is a new energy for us," he said. Syakur emphasized that household spending still contributes the most to Garut's economy. The challenge is that many productive activities in the community are not economically recorded due to a lack of financial literacy and digitalization. He recounted his experience visiting a sporting event and encountering residents selling goods without clear pricing standards. "Why? They're not economic actors, they're just housewives who usually make food for the family to consume. Is there any economic activity? They don't consider it to be, even though they're productive. When they sell individually, there's a transaction and that's recorded economically," he said. To achieve a productive household, the Garut Regent asked financial institutions to be more proactive in providing incentives and easy financial access for the lower classes. "So, in my mind, how can every household be more productive? How? We provide incentives, one of which is providing financial access," the Garut Regent emphasized. [SOURCE]

How Dedi Mulyadi Secures Investment in West Java

PRFMNEWS - The elected Governor of West Java (Jabar), Dedi Mulyadi said that the West Java Provincial Government (Pemprov) will prepare a way to secure investment in West Java. This is done to protect investors from irresponsible individuals. He conveyed this in a discussion with Bossman Mardigu which was uploaded on the Kang Dedi Mulyadi Channel YouTube channel some time ago. "The provincial government has allocated funds for investment security costs in West Java so that they (investors and employees) feel calm and peaceful," said Dedi Mulyadi. The former Regent of Purwakarta said that this needs to be done to guarantee the security of investors, guarantee that employees are no longer charged any fees, guarantee that infrastructure is available, such as roads, trains, ports, and air (airports/helipads/runways). "I want that, the energy is directed to that and I think it is possible," said Dedi. "Very, very possible," replied Mardigu. Dedi said that one of the problems in West Java today is the large number of individuals who claim to be mass organizations and often ask for fees to take care of land acquisition, take care of factory construction, take care of people who come to work, take care of factory waste, and take care of goods that will enter the factory. "This is from the beginning of the establishment until their production (investors and employees) is disrupted," said Dedi Mulyadi. With special efforts to secure this investment, it is hoped that it will be able to protect investors and employees from individuals who have been disturbing and irresponsible. *** (Abdurrahman Najwan Najmudin/Job Training) (SOURCE)

Supported by Several Investors, BIJB Kertajati Has the Potential to Become a Hajj and Umrah Airport

SUMEDANG BAGUS - Acting West Java Governor Bey Machmudin revealed the potential of the West Java International Airport (BIJB) Kertajati in the future to be developed into a special Hajj and Umrah airport. This cannot be separated from the success of BIJB Kertajati in becoming a Hajj embarkation that has served 30 flight groups with approximately 13,000 pilgrims in 2024. “The next plan, there are several investors who are interested in developing it into an airport for Hajj (and Umrah), we will update later,” said Bey Machmudin after a Leadership Meeting at Gedung Sate Bandung, on Wednesday, July 24, 2024. Bey found statistical figures that there is a potential for around 70,000 Hajj and Umrah pilgrims from West Java and Central Java to depart from BIJB Kertajati. “Earlier information from Mr. Asda 1 next year there are 70,000 pilgrims who (want to) go to Kertajati, (while) from the western part of Central Java has entered here. This means that next year (the number of passengers) will increase,” Bey said. However, until the 2025 Hajj season arrives, the West Java Provincial Government must continue to look for ways to make BIJB Kertajati get as many passengers as possible. “But, our challenge from today until next year is that we must be able to survive or add flights from Kertajati,” said Bey. Bey also revealed that the use of the Hajj dormitory in Indramayu for all pilgrims will still be coordinated again. This is because there is still one tower that is not yet operational. “We will coordinate later because there is one tower that is not yet (operational),” Bey said. SOURCE

Home Affairs Minister Tito Appreciates West Java's Economic Growth Surpassing National Average

KOMPAS.com – Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Muhammad Tito Karnavian appreciates the economic growth of West Java Province (Jabar) that exceeds the national average. Based on obtained data, West Java’s economy grew by 4.98 percent year-on-year (yoy) in the first quarter of 2025, while the national economic growth stood at 4.87 percent. This appreciation was conveyed by Tito during the Gathering with the Governor of West Java and Regional Heads across West Java at Lembur Pakuan Sukadaya, Subang Regency, Tuesday (July 15, 2025). He explained that West Java is one of the provinces with abundant human resources (HR), having the largest population dominated by the productive age group. According to Tito, this potential must be utilized to support economic growth. In addition, West Java also possesses abundant natural resources (SDA). “The productive age group in West Java comprises 69.75 percent of the population aged 15 to 64 years. What does this mean? This is potential,” he said in a press release, Wednesday (July 16, 2025). Emphasizing APBD Realization During the gathering, Tito also emphasized the importance for regional governments (pemda) in West Java to pay attention to the realization of the Regional Budget (APBD), which plays a crucial role in supporting economic growth. He asserted that government spending aims to increase the circulation of money in the community. This circulation is important to strengthen household consumption, which is one of the main factors supporting economic growth. Additionally, government spending also plays a role in revitalizing the private sector, producing a positive economic impact. “Household consumption contributes more than 50 percent to economic growth. (Other factors include) investment, industry, and others,” said Tito. Therefore, he reminded regional governments in West Java with low spending realization to continuously make efforts to improve. Tito urged regional heads to regularly gather apparatus organizations (OPD) to closely monitor spending realization by each OPD. “Ask them to read, maybe the Regional Secretary or Regional Development Planning Board (Bappeda), to check how much each OPD has spent, identify which are slow and which are fast, so later they can catch up on spending,” he explained. During the forum, Tito also highlighted various challenges still faced by regional governments in West Java, such as extreme poverty, unemployment, and stunting. These issues must be addressed by the regional heads for ongoing improvement. Appreciation for Tito’s Quick Response West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi expressed gratitude for Tito’s presence. He assessed that the forum could be used for consultation to address various problems faced by regional heads. Dedi also appreciated Tito’s quick response when he was contacted for coordination. “Tonight, we use this meeting for consultation, then convey a few key thoughts (from the Home Minister) for regents and mayors to absorb,” he said. The forum was attended by West Java Regional Secretary Herman Suryatman, regents and mayors across West Java Province, and other related officials. Officials accompanying Tito included Inspector General of the Ministry of Home Affairs Sang Made Mahendra Jaya, Special Staff for Politics and Network Formation Apep Fajar Kurniawan, Director General of Politics and General Governance Bahtiar. Also present were Director General of Regional Autonomy Akmal Malik, Director General of Regional Development Restuardy Daud, Acting Director General of Regional Finance Horas Maurits Panjaitan, Head of Press Center of the Ministry Benni Irwan, and other relevant officials.
