Aug, 07 2024

The Association of Regional Guarantee Companies (Aspenda) strengthens business cooperation with PT MNC Asset Management. It is also one of the steps to optimize investment fund management. Including the management of Guarantee Service Fees (IJP).

Aspenda Chairman Agus Subrata explained, MNC Asset Management is a company that is quite skilled in fund management and investment. The investment management instrument is very much needed for guarantee companies. That experience and expertise is what underlies Aspenda to be able to establish a partnership with MNC Asset.

"From the cooperation, we get a lot of direction or input in terms of fund management instruments. That is the field of MNC Asset Management. So we are quite helped," he explained, Thursday (1/8).

The man who is also Plt. The President Director of Jamkrida Jabar continued, Jamkrida or companies under Aspenda are indeed companies engaged in guaranteeing. Companies in Aspenda manage public funds, especially from the Guarantee Service Fee (IJP).

Therefore, Aspenda needs a strategy so that fund management can be efficient and effective. Input from MNC Asset Management is certainly needed.

"We also manage public funds, especially from IJP income in terms of guarantee services. Each company is quite large so we must manage these funds as efficiently and effectively as possible to make income for the company," he continued.

It was recorded that the IJP of Jamkrida throughout Indonesia in 2023 was recorded at Rp 1.48 trillion. That figure increased when compared to 2022 which was at Rp 855 billion.

As for West Java, the IJP of Jamkrida Jabar in 2023 was recorded at Rp 250 billion. With guaranteed MSMEs at 1.2 million.

The number of MSMEs is only in West Java, not in other regions throughout Indonesia. If calculated with other Jamkrida throughout Indonesia, of course the amount is quite large. The Financial Services Authority (OJK) itself reported that the number of MSMEs in Indonesia reached 64 million. MSMEs are also the driving force of a region's economy.

Disbursing Investment of More Than IDR 87 Billion, Wuling Electric Car Batteries Officially Produced Locally in Cikarang

JawaPos.com - PT SGMW Motor Indonesia (Wuling) inaugurated the production line for MAGIC batteries located in the supplier park area at the Wuling Motors factory located in Cikarang, West Java. This local battery production facility, which has an investment of more than IDR 87 billion, is claimed to reflect Wuling's long-term commitment to supporting the development of the electric car industry in Indonesia. This step is also part of Wuling's efforts to participate in accelerating electrification and completing the electric car ecosystem in the country. In addition to battery production, Wuling has also produced ABC stories in Indonesia. "As part of SGMW Motor Indonesia, which is one of the main players in the automotive industry, we are proud of Wuling's contribution in supporting Indonesia's transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy," said Andrin Adhitama, Operation Manager of Wuling Motors Battery Line through his statement. The production of Wuling's MAGIC battery will go through five stations which are claimed to have been designed to ensure the best efficiency and quality. Starting from the Cell Stacking Station, where battery components are tidied up and arranged into the battery housing. The process continues to the Welding Station which uses robotic technology to connect battery cells and harnesses precisely. Then it continues at the Front Pack Station, where the top shell of the battery is installed and the bolts are tightened perfectly. Then the next phase is the Charging Station, which is the battery testing area to ensure optimal performance and safety during the charging and discharging process. Finally, the Rear Pack Station, here the battery will be weighed, packaged and stored properly before being distributed to electric car production. What is interesting about the previous process is the Welding Station. This work area is tasked with carrying out the welding process to connect the battery cells and the electric vehicle battery harness through two main work stations, namely Busbar Welding and Collecting Wire Harness Welding. Busbar Welding uses high energy density laser technology as a heat source for welding between battery cells. Meanwhile, in the Collecting Wire Harness Welding Island, welding is carried out between battery cells and harness cables using a laser. These two work stations run robotically and automatically using the Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), so they have high accuracy and efficiency. MAGIC Battery is predicted to be a battery innovation from Wuling that integrates various advanced technologies in order to produce high performance and maximum safety. MAGIC reflects five main aspects, namely Multifunction Unitized Structure Technology (MUST), Advanced Cell Safety, Greater Performance, Intelligent Management, and Combustion Free. MUST technology itself is inspired by the design of aircraft wings integrating the battery structure into one functional part that is claimed to be light, strong, and modular, thus increasing structural strength by up to 60%. Thanks to Advanced Cell Safety, this battery has cells with extra protection using a ceramic layer. This advantage is combined with the High Precision Battery Management System and Cloud-based AI to monitor battery conditions in real-time, detect more than 240 safety parameters, and provide early warnings.

Primarily, in the tourism sector. He gave the example of the existence of the peak tourism icon, the former Rindu Alam Restaurant which has now changed to Resto Asep Straberi. If all requirements and obligations (permits) have been fulfilled, then there is no reason not to resume operations. According to him, regulatory clarity and support for investment are the main keys in maintaining a conducive business climate. Especially in the Puncak area, which has long been known as one of the leading tourist destinations in West Java. "We ask the Bogor Regency Government to provide legal certainty and operational permits for those who have met the requirements. Investors have complied with the applicable regulations.

Don't let uncertainty like this hamper the investment climate in the Puncak area," said Herman when contacted by Kliknusae.com, Sunday 15 December 2024. Herman also reminded that the government's openness to investment could have a significant positive impact. Especially in supporting regional economic growth, creating jobs, and increasing Puncak's tourist attraction. Herman added that the government must pay attention to the struggles of entrepreneurs in advancing tourism in West Java. "With so many entrepreneurs wanting to advance their businesses in West Java, this will encourage an increase in Regional Original Income (PAD)," he said. Early Supervision Herman added, if the regional government wants to carry out supervision then it must be done from the start. "Don't let the businessman spend tens of billions of money, he has followed all the licensing rules, once it's finished, he can't open it. That's what we're protesting," said Herman. “The Puncak area is one of West Java's tourism icons. If there are obstacles in licensing without clear reasons.

He was right in saying that entrepreneurs should not make things difficult," he stressed. Herman also responded to the requirements for a Certificate of Functional Suitability (LSF) for buildings which were deemed to be completely irrelevant to the conditions existing in the field. "How is it possible that buildings that have been standing since the "jahiliah" era have to include SLF. Well, if you want to apply it to new buildings," he said. Therefore, support from the regional government is highly anticipated so that investment in the West Java tourism sector can continue to develop optimally. (SOURCE)

Investment Flows Strongly, Dedi Mulyadi Confident Job Opportunities Will Grow

RMOLJABAR West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi is optimistic that West Java's employment situation will begin to improve in 2026. This confidence stems from the rapid influx of large-scale investments that will soon be realized and are projected to create thousands of new jobs. According to data from the 2025 Investment Activity Report (LKPM), 31 Foreign Direct Investment (PMA)-based industries and 21 Domestic Direct Investment (PMDN)-based industries will begin construction of new factories and businesses in 2026, each with an investment value exceeding IDR 100 billion. Some of the largest foreign investors are in the electric vehicle sector and its supporting industries, such as BYD Auto Indonesia, Contemporary Amperex Technology Indonesia Battery (CATL), and VinFast Automobile Indonesia. The entry of these global companies further solidifies West Java's position as a key hub for the development of the national electric vehicle ecosystem. In addition to the automotive industry, investment is also flowing into the consumer goods and pharmaceutical industries through the expansion of Unilever Indonesia, Shell Manufacturing Indonesia, Epic Medical Solutions, and other pharmaceutical raw material and medical device manufacturers. The textile and footwear sector also remains attractive, with investors such as Changshin Reksa Jaya, Victory Chingluh Indonesia, and Sing Wealth Textiles. On the domestic investment side, strengthening activity is also reflected in 21 domestically invested companies scheduled to begin operations in 2026. These investments span the food and beverage, automotive, building materials, chemicals and plastics, textiles, and construction and manufacturing support industries. Several local companies with significant investments include Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur, Handal Indonesia Motor, National Assemblers, and Polytama Propindo. Meanwhile, in the building materials and construction sector, investments are being made by Wijaya Karya Industri & Konstruksi, Jaya Beton Indonesia, and Pan Asia Jaya Abadi. Dedi Mulyadi stated that the growth of these new industries will have a direct impact on job recovery in West Java, including reducing the number of workers previously affected by layoffs. "Those 15,000 jobs will be recovered in the future with the growth of new jobs," said Dedi Mulyadi in Bandung on Monday, December 22, 2025. According to Dedi, employment issues have often been hampered by licensing obstacles. Therefore, the active role of local governments is key to ensuring investment is not held back and that job creation plans can proceed on target. "If the governor isn't diligent in orchestrating the process, going down to the grassroots level, processing permits, it will escalate to meeting with the minister," he said. He believes that employment dynamics always present both challenges and opportunities. "So, yes, some will stall, but there is also room for entry," he said. Meanwhile, the Head of the West Java Industry and Trade Office, Nining Yuliastiani, added that the realization of this investment will have a significant multiplier effect, from job creation, increasing public purchasing power, to strengthening the regional industrial structure. "With the majority of projects targeted to begin operations in 2026, West Java is projected to remain a major contributor to national investment in the coming years," said Nining. Nining stated that the contributions of the industrial and trade sectors until the third quarter of 2025 showed relatively stable conditions, with varying dynamics in each sector. The industrial sector remains the main contributor, while the trade sector plays a supporting role in distribution and consumption activities. In the first quarter, the industrial sector's contribution was recorded at 40.29 percent, while the trade sector contributed 14.70 percent. This achievement reflects stability at the beginning of the year, with industrial production and trade activities continuing despite still being in a phase of adjusting programs and economic activities. Entering the second quarter, the industrial sector's contribution decreased slightly to 40.06 percent, in line with the trade sector's contribution, which decreased to 14.37 percent. This relatively small decline reflects economic challenges and fluctuations in demand, but does not disrupt the overall stability of the two sectors. In the third quarter, the industrial sector's contribution increased again to 40.94 percent, indicating improved production activity and optimization of industrial development programs. Meanwhile, the trade sector's contribution remained relatively stable at 14.38 percent, indicating a recovery and sustained distribution and trade transaction activity. "Overall, the contribution and investment realization of the industrial and trade sectors from the first to the third quarter of 2025 reflect the resilience of the industrial sector and the stability of the trade sector, which serve as the foundation.
