West Java DPMPTSP Predicts This Year's Investment Target to Reach IDR 250 Trillion

INILAHKORAN, Bandung - Head of the West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services (DPMPTSP) Department, Nining Yuliastiani, predicts that the investment realization target in 2024 could reach IDR 250 trillion. Nining said that in fact the central government had not yet conveyed the targets for each province for 2024 regarding investment realization. However, Nining said, if you look at 2023. Where it is possible that West Java will be charged with the same percentage target, then the figure will clearly increase from IDR 188 trillion in 2023, to IDR 250 trillion this year. "We haven't (received the target). In 2023, the (national) target was IDR 1,400 trillion, we got a share of IDR 188 trillion. Around 14 percent. This year (the central government is targeting) IDR 1,650 trillion. If positioned the same, around IDR 250 trillion (target "West Java investment realization will be in 2024). But we don't have the predictions yet," said Nining in Bandung City recently. In 2023, from January to September investment in West Java was dominated by foreign investment (PMA) around 60 percent and domestic investment (PMDN) around 39 percent. The largest investment point is Bekasi Regency amounting to IDR 41.5 trillion, then Karawang Regency IDR 35.1 trillion, Bogor Regency IDR 12 trillion, Purwakarta Regency IDR 10.7 trillion and Bekasi City IDR 8.6 trillion. There are five sectors that investors are interested in, namely transportation, warehouse and communications worth IDR 28.8 trillion. The investment sector for housing, industrial areas and offices is IDR 19.5 trillion. Metal machinery and electronics industry sector IDR 16.2 trillion. Motor vehicle and other means of transportation industry with an investment value of IDR 15.8 trillion. With this achievement, labor absorption from January-September 2023 was 192,414 people, with details of 96,680 workers absorbed in PMA investment and 95,734 workers absorbed in PMDN investment. It is possible that in 2024, dominance will not be much different with the addition of several channels that can be offered, namely the Rebana Triangle Area, South West Java and Ciayumajakuning.

Head of the West Java-Bandung Raya region testing buses to finalize BRT plans

Bandung (ANTARA) - The Regional Head of West Java Province and the district/city of Greater Bandung conducted a trial of the Bandung Square-Kota Baru Parahyangan city bus, this Monday, in order to finalize plans to develop the Greater Bandung Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) transportation system. The trial using this bus transportation tool was to assess several aspects before the BRT Bandung Raya operational, such as regarding comfort and travel time during the trip. "We, together with the regional heads in the Bandung basin or the Greater Bandung metropolitan area, tried the BRT directly and the buses were comfortable, but the travel time was not congested for an hour, I think it's quite good, just need to be strengthened. Maybe special lanes are also needed in several corridors," said the Acting West Java Governor Bey Triadi Machmudin in West Bandung, Monday. Bey said that from the planned 21 corridors when they operate later, currently there are only five corridors that are quite good, such as Dipatiukur-Jatinangor, Baleendah-BEC, Alun-alun-Padalarang, Leuwipanjang-Dago, and Leuwipanjang-Soreang. "For the initial three corridors, 56 percent were on time, so we are optimistic that this will be a useful mode of transportation, especially for residents of Greater Bandung," he said. Regarding travel time in relation to existing traffic and road width, Bey said that the BRT stops at each stop for a maximum of two minutes, and the headways are between adjacent bus units to avoid pile-ups, either on buses or at stops. In the future, said Bey, infrastructure for the Greater Bandung BRT will begin to be built in early 2025, including an operations command center for managing bus units, CCTV equipment in buses for security. "Also, an integrated payment system will be created with one payment for the entire corridor with crossing points created. The budget for infrastructure will be from the World Bank. So of course it is hoped that the people of Greater Bandung will switch to bus transportation," he said. The Greater Bandung BRT will begin construction in early 2025, then continue with phase II in 2026 and be fully operational in 2027, the corridor of which will cover the areas of West Bandung Regency, Cimahi City, Bandung City, Bandung Regency and Sumedang Regency.

Taufik Nurrohim Highlights West Java's Economic Growth Target of 7.95 Percent in the RPJMD

TRIBUNJABAR.ID - Bandung, June 26, 2025 - Discussions on the West Java Provincial Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) for 2025-2029 have now entered a strategic phase. Through the West Java DPRD Special Committee (Pansus), the document outlining the direction of development for the next five years is being thoroughly analyzed. One of the central issues that has emerged in the discussion is the target economic growth rate (LPE) of 7.95 percent by 2029. This figure has been set to align with the national development direction outlined in the 2025–2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), which targets an 8 percent economic growth rate nationally. However, for Taufik Nurrohim, S.Psi, a member of the West Java DPRD from the PKB faction who is also a member of the RPJMD Special Committee, this target should not just be a pipe dream on paper. He emphasized the importance of looking at the current economic reality in West Java and the available fiscal capacity of the region. “We must start from reality. Currently, West Java's LPE is at around 4.95 percent in 2024. This means that in the next five years, we want to add almost 3 points — this is a big leap. The question is not only whether it is possible or not, but what must be sacrificed and prepared,” said Taufik. He highlighted that the most obvious challenge lies in the region's fiscal capacity. With limited regional budget space and the dominance of routine spending, it is difficult to imagine that growth can be achieved without actively involving the private sector and investment. Therefore, Taufik emphasized that the key to pushing the LPE to 7.95 percent is the acceleration of productive and inclusive investment. However, accelerating investment is not without obstacles. The unfinished spatial planning process, weak infrastructure support in the southern and central regions, and the low readiness of the local workforce are structural obstacles that must be overcome. Taufik reminded that economic growth will only occur if the main engines of development run in harmony: investment, vocational education, connectivity, and synchronized spatial planning. “Investment is the driving force, but without ready land, suitable labor, and clear licensing, investment will only pile up on paper,” he said. Amid limited fiscal conditions, Taufik also encouraged the optimization of creative financing through the Government and Business Entity Cooperation (KPBU) scheme, the utilization of strategic regional-owned enterprises (BUMD), and the restructuring of regional budget (APBD) programs to focus more on sectors that drive economic growth. In addition to accelerating investment, the DPRD emphasized the importance of equitable growth across regions. According to Taufik, if West Java relies solely on growth from old industrial areas such as Bekasi, Karawang, and Bogor, it will remain trapped in inequality. He urged the RPJMD to encourage the creation of new growth zones in the southern region, the northern coast, and rural areas based on agriculture and tourism. Furthermore, Taufik also noted that high economic growth does not automatically reduce poverty or unemployment if it is not accompanied by structural transformation in the employment sector. He emphasized the need for connectivity between investment plans, the provision of job training, and vocational education reforms that directly address the needs of industry. “We must not pursue large-scale investment, but then bring in workers from outside the region because we are not ready. This means that growth must be closely linked to improving the quality of local human resources,” said Taufik. With this position, the West Java DPRD, particularly through the RPJMD Special Committee, has taken a critical and consolidative stance. The DPRD does not reject big ambitions, but wants to ensure that all policy instruments supporting growth are truly strong, realistic, and can be implemented with the existing APBD structure. “The 7.95 percent target is not something to be feared, but something to be prepared for together. Do not make this figure a political burden, but a strategic challenge that tests the resilience of our development system,” he concluded. [SOURCE]

Indonesia’s investment realization in Q2 2025 reached IDR 477.7 trillion, an 11.5% increase compared to the same period last year.

Responding to this realization, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi appreciated the support of all West Java citizens who have maintained a conducive investment climate until the positive Q2 2025 realization was achieved. “Thank you to all West Java citizens who have managed to sustain investment,” he told the media. Investment and Downstream Industry Minister/ BKPM Head Rosan Roeslani, during a press conference, said that the industries with the highest investment realization in West Java in Q2 2025 include motor vehicles/other transportation equipment and housing. “When broken down, the regency with the largest contribution to investment realization in Q2 2025 in West Java is Bekasi Regency with a value of IDR 18.75 trillion, followed by Karawang, Subang, Bogor, and Bandung City,” he said. Previously, to realize a conducive investment climate and create jobs, Governor Dedi Mulyadi (commonly known as KDM) collaborated with the West Java Regional Police and Metro Jaya Police to ensure the safety and order of citizens. “For investment to grow healthily and create many jobs, efforts have been made to strengthen security basics in industrial zones and promote a conducive economic climate, protecting MSMEs, and ensuring peace in markets and other places,” he said. KDM also committed to making investment in West Java easier to help increase labor absorption. Therefore, he requested that investment services be quick, transparent, and uncomplicated. “I ask that services for businesses complying with the law be facilitated, while violations are handled persuasively but firmly,” said KDM.
