Meanwhile, in total, the trade sector was the fifth highest, with 68.75 percent coming from PMDN. "The prospects for the West Java processing industry sector in 2024 show a positive trend, driven by several conditions including global economic recovery, growth in domestic demand, high investment in the industrial sector and controlled inflation," said Noneng Komara in Bandung, Sunday (10/12/2023) . The global economy continues to recover gradually from the pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine raised projected economic growth from 2.8 percent to 3 percent, potentially increasing global demand and lowering raw material prices. Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) Indonesia's processing industry has increased from 50.9 in 2022 to 51.7 in November 2023 driven by an increase in domestic orders, although exports are still slow Meanwhile, West Java inflation is under control within target, decreasing from 6.17 percent in February 2023 to 2.85 percent in November 2023 (yoy). With controlled inflation, people's purchasing power will increase so that domestic demand will also increase. West Java is the province with the largest export contribution from January to October 2023. Cumulatively from January to October 2023, the total trade balance of West Java recorded a surplus of 20.57 billion US dollars.

Head of Bank Indonesia West Java Representative, Erwin Gunawan Hutapea, said that a number of sectors would experience strengthening, including the agricultural and consumption sectors. "So that in the midst of these challenges in 2024, it seems we remain optimistic that in 2024 we can grow better than 2023," he said. Apart from that, he also assessed that the political contestation of the Presidential Election, Legislative Election and Regional Head Election would contribute to increasing public consumption. "Of course, this will also make the domestic economy grow higher, a phenomenon like that is when there are presidential elections, legislative elections, regional elections, the euphoria will cause higher consumption," he added. Therefore, he hopes that with maintained price stability and better consumption, it will become one of the driving forces of the economy, at least in the first quarter and fourth quarter of 2024. Erwin said there were seven policy recommendations to encourage the economic revival of West Java. The first recommendation is to expand efforts to control seasonal and structural food inflation. Second, maintaining people's purchasing power through incentives, optimizing the realization of government spending, encouraging equal distribution of investment realization and encouraging exports and local value chains for large industries. The third recommendation is to encourage accelerated development of connectivity infrastructure. Apart from that, increasing downstream industry, especially the electric vehicle industry. Fifth, expanding digitalization in various aspects of the economy. Sixth, strengthening new sources of sustainable economic growth such as the sharia financial economy and the green economy. Finally, further strengthening the pentahelix synergy and collaboration of the West Java government. "Through these various policy recommendations, Bank Indonesia estimates that the economy of West Java in 2024 has the potential to continue to grow positively in the range of 4.9 percent-5.7 percent," he said.

Bey Optimistic New Walahar Bridge Will Further Support Community Economy

Karawang, West Java (ANTARA) - Acting Governor of West Java Bey Triadi Machmudin is optimistic that the new Walahar Bridge which was inaugurated and is located in Kutapohaci Village, Klari District, Karawang Regency, Wednesday, will further support the community's economy. The reason is, said Bey, this bridge connects two districts in Karawang Regency, namely Ciampel and Klari which are on the border with Purwakarta Regency and helps accessibility for the community, the majority of whom work as traders. "The Walahar Bridge which was just inaugurated is proof of the government's presence in serving and providing convenience for connectivity and access to the community which has implications for the community's economy," said Bey in Karawang. Because, with increased accessibility and connectivity in the region, this new Walahar Bridge will support the improvement of the economy of the surrounding community. "The community really appreciates this bridge. Of course, from an economic perspective, it will make it easier for those who are trying (to trade), and also increase market coverage," he said. The new Walahar Bridge itself was built through a West Java Province financial assistance scheme worth around IDR 52 billion. The new Walahar Bridge is a type of concrete bridge with a width of seven meters with two lanes of vehicles, two directions and a length of 130 meters with three spans. In addition to being a connection between Ciampel District and the Purwakarta Regency border, the new Walahar Bridge can also support tourism access and the South Japek Toll Road and overcome frequent congestion. Previously, the community used the Walahar Dam Service Bridge which was built in 1925 with a width of only three meters. For that, Bey instructed the Karawang Regency Government to follow up on the construction of the new Walahar Bridge with road development so that congestion can be resolved. "The development by the local government related to the narrowing of the road will be widened so that congestion does not occur," he said. (SOURCE)

Impacting the Investment Climate, West Java Boosts IPKN Increase

Bisnis.com, BANDUNG — The West Java Provincial Tourism and Culture Office is boosting the National Tourism Development Index (IPKN), which has plummeted over the past two years. Head of the West Java Culture and Tourism Office, Iendra Sofyan, stated that the IPKN is crucial for revitalizing it as a strategic step to strengthen the competitiveness of the regional tourism ecosystem, as it is a national instrument used to measure the readiness and competitiveness of regional tourism development through various cross-sectoral indicators. "Furthermore, the IPKN also serves as a barometer for the investment climate and the region's image in tourism development," he said, as quoted on Tuesday (August 17, 2026). West Java Province's IPKN in 2022 ranked 7th nationally out of 34 provinces. However, in 2024, West Java's ranking dropped to 21st nationally. In response, the Head of the West Java Tourism and Culture Office emphasized the importance of strengthening synergy and collaboration between Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPDs). "Improving IPKN achievements requires cross-sector collaboration, from providing accurate data, integrated program planning, to implementing policies that have a direct impact on improving the quality and competitiveness of regional tourism," he said. His office is currently encouraging all stakeholders, consisting of 29 relevant agencies/OPDs within the West Java Provincial Government and the West Java tourism industry, to strengthen their shared commitment to supporting sustainable and competitive tourism development, in order to improve West Java's position at the national level. Previously, the Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded a drastic increase in tourist visits to West Java Province in December 2025, a 4.89 percent increase in domestic tourist arrivals compared to the previous month. In December 2025, there were 18.53 million domestic tourist trips. Meanwhile, in November 2025, the number reached only 17.66 million trips. Accumulatedly, the number of domestic tourist trips to West Java also experienced a drastic increase. From January to December 2025, it was recorded at 211.76 million trips. This figure increased by 26.50 percent compared to the total of 167.40 million trips from January to December 2024. Throughout 2025, the highest number of trips occurred in April, with 22.52 million trips. This was due to the Eid al-Fitr holiday of 1446 Hijri. By destination, Bodebek Regency/City and Greater Bandung remain the favorites for domestic tourists. In the January-December 2025 period, Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded 31.85 million domestic tourist trips to Bogor Regency, 24.26 million trips to Bandung City, 14.44 million trips to Bekasi City, 14.24 million trips to Bandung Regency, 13.29 million trips to Bekasi Regency, and 12.16 million trips to Depok City. Furthermore, the Room Occupancy Rate (TPK) of both Star-rated and Non-Star-rated Hotels in West Java also increased in December 2025. Data shows that the ROR for December 2025 reached 45.75 percent, a 4.35-point increase compared to the previous month. Iendra revealed that his office is also collaborating with the Statistics Indonesia (BPS) to collect tourism data, which still faces several challenges. Accurate data can serve as a basis for formulating and evaluating policies. "West Java has 1,741 tourist attractions, consisting of natural attractions, man-made attractions, and cultural attractions. However, the management and recording of tourist visitation data still faces various challenges, particularly in consistent reporting and responsiveness from destination managers, particularly during major holiday periods such as Eid al-Fitr and Christmas-New Year," he concluded.
