Ministry of Investment: Downstreaming Is a Priority In The New Government

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) said the policy of processing raw materials into high added value products (downstreaming) will be one of the priority programs for the next government. "This has been planned since the time of President Jokowi and God willing, later the President-elect, Mr Prabowo, will become one of the priorities, downstreaming this," said Deputy for Investment Climate Development at the Ministry of Investment/BKPM Riyatno at the Investortrust Future Forum in Jakarta, Wednesday. He said the next government's commitment to advancing downstreaming in the country was because this regulation had provided many benefits for the Indonesian economy. For example, processing in the nickel sector provides added value of 11.4 times when processed into nickel sulfate, increases again 19.4 times when sold as a precursor, and increases up to 67.7 times when sold in the form of vehicle battery cells. electric (electric vehicle/EV). Apart from that, Riyatno said that in order to maintain the downstream ecosystem in a sustainable manner, according to him, the Ministry of Investment has implemented several things, such as issuing supporting regulations, tax incentives, encouraging financial sector policies, as well as regulations prohibiting the export of raw materials for nickel, bauxite, copper and tin. "One of the tax incentives handled through the Ministry of Investment/BKPM is tax holidays and also tax allowances. Then there are also financial sector policies, namely the OJK issuing policies in the banking industry to support the acceleration program for battery-based electric motorized vehicles, for example," he said. Previously, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, entrusted the continuity of industrial downstreaming to the development project for the Indonesian Capital City (IKN) to Prabowo Subianto after becoming President of the Republic of Indonesia for the period 2024 - 2029. President Jokowi emphasized that the sustainability of people's programs, whether it is the sustainability of infrastructure development or human resources (HR), is very important. (SOURCE)

The 30 minute investment licensing process can be done in West Java

Bandung (ANTARA) - (Acting) Governor of West Java Bey Triadi Machmudin said that the investment licensing process in West Java could be completed in a maximum of 30 minutes, as desired by President Joko Widodo to boost investment in the region. "Yes, it must be possible, there are indeed notes, but we have to get there, the process should ideally take 30 minutes as directed by the president," said Bey in Bandung, West Java, Tuesday. With the shorter investment licensing process which is almost certainly accompanied by cuts to requirements such as environmental impact analysis (AMDAL), Bey said that this procedure will still exist even with a follow-up document system. If one of the procedures does not pass, even if it is a follow-up document, such as an Amdal document, Bey said that his party will revoke the investment permit. "So it could be an amdal, to set up a company, for example the system is established first, later the amdal still has to be included, so the permission is verbal but the amdal still cannot be passed. If the amdal is not passed it will definitely be revoked," he said. Previously, President Joko Widodo reminded regional heads to be able to attract as much investment as possible, one of which is by making it easier to manage permits. For example, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), he said, is able to facilitate permits in just 30 minutes. "Don't leave it for months. The permission is so that ladies and gentlemen know. In the United Arab Emirates, it doesn't take 30 minutes for it to be finished, it's finished. There aren't 30 minutes for it to be finished, it's finished," said President Jokowi when giving directions at the State Palace at the end of October. . The West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Service (DPMPTSP) itself noted that investment realization in West Java up to the third quarter of 2023 had reached 81.5 percent of the target set by the Indonesian Ministry of Investment/BKPM of IDR 188.03 trillion. Head of West Java DPMPTSP Nining Yulistiani said that during the third quarter of 2023, namely July to September, West Java investment realization reached IDR 49.5 trillion. "The achievement of West Java Investment realization in the third quarter according to what was released yesterday by BKPM on October 20 2023, cumulatively from January to September 2023, reached IDR 153.2 trillion, which means 81.5 percent of the investment target imposed on West Java has been achieved amounting to IDR 188.03 trillion," said Nining in his voice message in Bandung. Nining said that investment realization in the third quarter of 2023 amounted to IDR 153.2 trillion, up to 19.4 percent higher than in 2022 in the same period which reached IDR 128.3 trillion.

This provides benefits for companies in reducing operational costs. "Ease of licensing is also one of the attractions for investors to invest in Majalengka. We continue to strive to provide the best service so that the licensing process runs quickly and efficiently," he added.
