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.
