South West Java's Potential is Quite Large, Investment is Still Small

PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - Investment in parts of South West Java is still relatively small, even though the potential is quite large. This was expressed by the Head of the West Java Investment and Integrated One-Stop Service Office (DPMPTSP) Nining Yulistiani, when opening the West Java PMPTSP OPD Forum in Bandung City, Tuesday (2/18/2025). According to Nining, regencies/cities that have relatively small investment volumes include Pangandaran Regency, Sukabumi City, Banjar City and Tasikmalaya Regency and Ciamis Regency. "It's not because this area doesn't have the potential for investment, but it has not been optimized, such as in the maritime, plantation and agricultural sectors. The potential is quite large, especially for downstream programs," said Nining. Therefore, through the PMPTSP OPD Forum, Nining hopes that a formula for accelerating investment in West Java in the future, especially in the South West Java area, will be formulated. "This meeting is expected to synchronize work programs in the investment sector. Given the target of achieving national economic growth until 2029 of 8 percent. Investment is a very important component to achieve economic growth of that size. We will continue to encourage the increase in quality and inclusive investment," he said. Director of Downstream Governance of the Ministry of Investment and Downstream, Ahmad Faisal, who was one of the speakers, said that West Java, with its quite large potential, is very likely to become a region that continues to be the number one investment in Indonesia. "Extraordinary, West Java with all its potential, both natural resources and human resources. Indeed, there are some mining materials that West Java does not have, such as nickel, but in the downstream program, the nickel processing plant has the potential to be in West Java, because one of the uses of nickel is in the manufacture of electric vehicle batteries. While the electric vehicle factory is in West Java. Of course, the battery manufacturing plant will be close to the vehicle manufacturing plant," said Faisal. Another speaker from the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI), Firaldi Akbar expressed his commitment to work together with the government to increase investment. "We are together, but it must be concrete, don't stop every program at the MoU. HIPMI is committed to moving the potential that HIPMI has," he said. (Pun) [SOURCE]

Realization of Expenditure and Regional Original Revenue (PAD) of West Java Predicted by Bank Indonesia to Increase in Second Semester 2025

SUKABUMIUPDATE.com – Bank Indonesia (BI) predicts that the realization of expenditure and Regional Original Revenue (PAD) of West Java Province will increase significantly in the second semester of 2025. As of July 2025, the realization of Budget Expenditure (APBD) of West Java Province reached 38.79 percent. This figure is above the national average, which only reached 31.8 percent. Meanwhile, the realization of West Java’s PAD has reached 44.72 percent of the fiscal target of APBD 2025, also surpassing the national average at 43.62 percent. Deputy Chief Representative of Bank Indonesia West Java, Muslimin Anwar, expressed optimism that the rising spending trend will continue in the second semester, along with the easing of budget policies at both central and regional levels. “The budget tightening has started to loosen, both at the central and regional levels,” he said at Gedung Sate, Monday (July 14, 2025). According to him, the large-value infrastructure spending was not yet optimal in the first semester and will be maximized in the second semester. This includes several projects within the National Strategic Program (PSN) that have started in West Java. “Infrastructure project spending, especially PSN, will be further optimized in the second semester. There are quite a few of these programs in West Java,” he added. On the PAD side, Muslimin emphasized the need to optimize the non-motor-vehicle tax sector. He assessed that the incentive policy of waiving Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) positively impacted the increase in PAD, including revenue from billboard taxes. He also reminded the importance of attention to community welfare, especially micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Regional governments are expected to encourage promotion of MSME products through exhibitions and business meetings to break into export markets. “West Java’s craft exports are still good; if higher taxes are imposed, especially from the US, markets might shift to Europe or countries in Asia and the Middle East. But of course, product quality must be improved,” he said. Muslimin added that now is the right moment for MSMEs to maximize domestic market potential. Meanwhile, West Java Provincial Secretary Herman Suryatman revealed that the fiscal capacity of West Java’s APBD in 2025 reaches over Rp31 trillion, making it among the highest among 38 provinces in Indonesia. In a meeting with Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian, Herman stated that West Java’s regional expenditure ranks third nationally, after Yogyakarta and West Nusa Tenggara. Besides encouraging acceleration of expenditure realization, Herman stressed that the quality of regional spending is also a primary focus. “The Governor always reminds that APBD spending must directly benefit the community. God willing, we will continue to maintain and oversee West Java’s APBD for the welfare of the people,” he affirmed. [SOURCE]

Where the increased optimism of business people after the one-round election provides a positive signal for the investment climate. Horticultural deflation in the second quarter of 2024 indicates an improvement in horticultural productivity in West Java. "Infrastructure development such as the Bocimi and Getaci toll roads is improving connectivity between the North and South West Java regions," he explained. Nevertheless, West Java is also faced with several serious challenges, including the uncertainty of the Fed Funds Rate (FFR) decline. In line with the increasing unemployment rate in the United States. Then central bank policy divergence. Various policies taken by the Central Banks of world countries on the dynamics of the global economy add to the uncertainty.
