Aug, 22 2024

The Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) of Bandung City, West Java, recorded that investment realization in the Flower City reached Rp6 trillion at the end of the second quarter of 2024, or 82.32 percent of the annual target set at Rp7.3 trillion.

“This amount was achieved quite significantly thanks to the efforts of friends from DPMTSP Bandung City who continue to make efforts to achieve investment realization of up to Rp6 trillion by the end of the second quarter of this year,” said Head of DPMPTSP Bandung City Ronny Ahmad Nurudin in Bandung, Wednesday (21/8/2024).

1. Transportation and warehousing dominate

Ronny said the Rp6 trillion investment was dominated by the transportation, warehousing, and telecommunications sectors, which accounted for Rp2.9 trillion.

“Bandung is a service city, so the transportation sector, telecommunications warehouses still dominate. The second is other services, the third is the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, then hotels and restaurants, the last is the housing sector, industrial estates and offices,” he said.

He revealed that until the end of the second quarter of this year, the realization of domestic investment (PMDN) dominated investment in Bandung City by contributing Rp4.1 trillion, while the category of foreign investment (PMA) reached Rp1.9 trillion.

“Most foreign investors have operational business activities so that the additional investment is not too significant,” he said.

2. Ease of investment continues to be improved

Ronny said there are several factors that make foreign and domestic investors interested in investing in Bandung, one of which is the ease of service provided by DPMPTSP for potential investors.

“We also provide OSS assistance services, Sakedap (Facility Anjungan Kemudahan Perizinan) services in sub-districts and market industry centers for micro businesses,” Ronny said.

3.Confident that the year-end target will be met

Furthermore, he said that with the achievement of investment realization at the end of the second quarter of 2024 which had reached 82.32 percent, his party was optimistic that investment in Bandung City could exceed the predetermined target.

“We are very optimistic, even though we also get additional targets from the province, but hopefully we will continue to work together with business people in Bandung,” he said.

This is the first toll road to South West Java, which will boost tourism. Operational target is 2029!

DESKJABAR - As is known, toll road construction in West Java has so far focused on the northern coast and central routes. However, none of the toll roads leading to the southern region have been completed. For this reason, the West Java Provincial Government, under the leadership of Governor Dedi Mulyadi, has encouraged the Central Government to immediately construct and implement the Getaci Toll Road, which leads to the south of West Java. This toll road to the south of West Java is believed to stimulate economic growth by improving inter-regional connectivity, serving as a logistics route and providing access to a number of tourist destinations. To achieve this, the Governor, familiarly known as KDM, continues to intensively coordinate with the central government to ensure that every stage, from planning to implementation, runs according to target. According to KDM, the construction of the Getaci Toll Road, along with four other toll roads in West Java connecting the province and cities/regencies, will begin in 2026. "With the full support of the West Java Provincial Government, the construction of these three strategic toll roads is expected to improve connectivity, accelerate regional economic growth, and open up new job and investment opportunities for the people of West Java," the West Java Provincial Government stated, as quoted from Instagram @bappedajabar, Sunday, October 5, 2025. The Getaci Toll Road, which connects the two provinces of West Java and Central Java, stretches 206.65 km from Gedebage, Tasikmalaya, to Cilacap. Construction is divided into two phases: Phase 1: Gedebage - Tasikmalaya Phase 2: Tasikmalaya - Cilacap. Phase 1 construction is further divided into two sections: Section 1: Gedebage - North Garut Section 2: North Garut - Tasikmalaya The Head of the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT), Wilan Oktavian, confirmed the division of construction phases. He said that construction will temporarily reach Tasikmalaya (Phase 1) before continuing with Phase 2. "Temporarily (it will reach Tasikmalaya and then continue to Cilacap). That's the excess," he said. Must Be Operational in 2029 So far, the Getaci Toll Road project has re-entered the tender process, which will be held in 2026, and is targeted to be operational in 2029. To meet this deadline, several areas in Bandung Regency and Garut Regency are now entering the data validation and compensation (UGR) stage for landowners affected by the Getaci Toll Road. Once the data validation and UGR reimbursement process in Bandung and Garut Regencies is complete, a similar process will continue in Tasikmalaya Regency and City, Ciamis Regency, Pangandaran Regency, and finally in Cilacap.

Government Takes Firm Action Against Thuggery, APINDO West Java: Investors Should Not Hesitate to Enter West Java

Warta Ekonomi, Bandung - On Friday, February 21, 2025, at the West Java DPRD Building, a joint commitment was signed between the Governor of West Java, Dedi Mulyadi, the Chairman of the West Java DPRD, Pangdam III Siliwangi, Pangdam Jaya, the West Java Police Chief, the West Java High Prosecutor's Office, and the Metro Jaya Police Chief. This commitment emphasizes the synergy between institutions in eradicating acts of thuggery that have disrupted order and the business world in West Java. This firm step received full appreciation from the Chairman of the West Java Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO), Ning Wahyu. According to him, this policy is a breath of fresh air for business actors who have faced pressure from certain groups that hinder business activities. "This commitment is very positive because it provides certainty for the business world. So far, disturbances from irresponsible mass organizations have often occurred in industrial areas and outside the area. With this policy, we hope that the investment climate in West Java will be more conducive," said Ning, Thursday (26/2/2025). Furthermore, Ning emphasized that Governor Dedi Mulyadi's steps in eradicating thuggery and disturbing mass organizations will have a significant impact on business security, increase investor confidence, and maintain workforce stability. Currently, West Java has the highest unemployment rate in Indonesia, which is 1.76 million people or around 23.7% of the national total. Therefore, APINDO Jabar emphasizes the importance of maintaining investment so that it does not leave West Java, which has the potential to cause an increase in the number of layoffs (PHK). "Security in business is very important because it not only protects investment, but also ensures the continuity of work for employees and community businesses around the industrial area," he added. Ning also assessed that Dedi Mulyadi's leadership is very much needed by the business world. A firm attitude and courage in enforcing the law are key factors in creating a healthy investment climate. "Kang Dedi is not only a leader who is firm in speaking, but also dares to take real action. Since the beginning of his term, he has shown his commitment to creating a safe and investment-friendly West Java," he said. In addition, Ning highlighted the direct approach taken by Governor Dedi Mulyadi in understanding the conditions of the business world. According to him, the presence of a leader who goes down to the field and witnesses firsthand the challenges of entrepreneurs is a strategic step in formulating effective policies. APINDO Jabar hopes that under the leadership of Dedi Mulyadi, collaboration between the government and the business world will be even closer. "With strong synergy, the government and business actors can work together to create jobs, improve people's welfare, and build a more advanced and competitive West Java," he concluded. (SOURCE)

The Right Steps for Long-Term Stock Investment for Beginners

The ever-changing dynamics of the global economy require individuals to develop a deeper understanding of asset management. Amid rising inflation that can gradually erode the value of conventional currencies, investment instruments become a crucial solution for preserving purchasing power in the future. Long-term stock investment stands out as one of the most rational choices for individuals who aim to build sustainable wealth by participating in the ownership of productive and innovative companies. Understanding the mechanisms of the capital market is a fundamental first step before allocating funds to risk-bearing assets. In principle, the growth of stock prices is driven by the performance of companies and macroeconomic conditions that support overall business stability. Beginner investors must recognize that daily price fluctuations are a natural part of the market ecosystem. However, over a longer time horizon, economic growth trends are generally reflected in the appreciation of high-quality stocks. One of the greatest advantages of long-term investing lies in the concept of compound interest, which allows profits to be reinvested and generate even greater returns over time. In today's digital economy, access to information and the convenience of trading through online brokerage platforms have significantly lowered the barriers to entry for the general public. This development enables investors to diversify their portfolios more efficiently while mitigating potential risks in both global and domestic capital markets. Selecting stocks with strong fundamentals is a key pillar in building a resilient investment portfolio. Investors are encouraged to focus on companies with consistent earnings records, professional management, and business models that remain relevant to modern economic developments. By carefully analyzing financial statements, investors can identify a company's intrinsic value and avoid speculative traps that often lead to short-term losses. Sector diversification is another smart strategy to protect investment value from shocks affecting a particular industry. Allocating capital across various sectors such as banking, consumer goods, and technology can provide balance when one sector experiences contraction due to fiscal or monetary policy changes. This approach ensures that the overall growth of a portfolio does not rely solely on a single entity but is supported by multiple engines of economic growth. Maintaining discipline through regular investment, commonly known as the dollar cost averaging method, is highly effective in dealing with volatile market conditions. By setting aside a portion of income periodically without being influenced by emotional market sentiment, investors can obtain a more competitive average purchase price over time. This method is particularly suitable for beginners because it helps minimize the risk of mistiming market entry during periods of uncertainty.[source]

BANDUNG WETAN, AYOBANDUNG.COM -- Synergy and collaboration between Bank Indonesia and the West Java Provincial Government have succeeded in bringing the West Java economy to grow strongly in 2024. The BPS release stated that the West Java economy in 2024 grew by 4.95% (year-on-year) compared to other provinces on the island of Java. The growth achievement of West Java Province is the second highest after DI Yogyakarta. The growth mainly comes from increased community mobility during the Nataru holidays and high investment. In 2024, West Java's investment performance again recorded extraordinary achievements, with a total investment reaching IDR 251.1 trillion, while making West Java the province with the highest investment value in Indonesia and equivalent to 14.7 percent of national investment realization. Head of the West Java Bank Indonesia Representative Office, Muhamad Nur, expressed his appreciation for the achievement of West Java's investment performance in 2024. He emphasized Bank Indonesia's commitment to overseeing investment and economic growth in 2025 amidst the challenges faced.

Bey hopes that the realization of this investment will have a real impact on improving people's welfare. "The strong commitment of the West Java Provincial Government in creating a good investment climate is also proven by the achievement of the Investment Service Award (ALI)," said Bey. This cannot be separated from the synergy with Bank Indonesia which is realized through various activity programs such as the West Java Investment Summit (WJIS). In the talk show session, the Head of the West Java DPMPTSP, Nining Yuliastiani said that the processing industry and information and communication sectors are still the main sectors that attract investors throughout 2024. Nining added that various strategic steps have been prepared to make it easier for investors to invest in West Java, including through the OSS application and one-stop integrated service center. "The synergy of new work programs such as the West Java Investment Hub and the Investment Localpreneur Partnership are also ready to encourage increased investment in West Java 2025," said Nining. Meanwhile, Deputy Head of Bank Indonesia West Java Representative Office, Muslimin Anwar, added that economic growth in 2025 is predicted to be in the range of 4.7-5.5% (yoy) driven by increased consumption activity, improved exports and a more conducive investment climate. Meanwhile, Muslimin continued, the investment prospect in 2025 is predicted to grow strongly in the range of 7%-7.8% (yoy), supported by the downward trend in interest rates from world Central Banks to the commitment of the 5th Asta Cita to encourage downstreaming and industrialization which can be a positive stimulus for the West Java processing industry sector. "However, it is still necessary to be vigilant against the potential for widening divergence in world economic growth and the pressure of weakening various world currencies," said Muslimin. Muslimin also explained that Bank Indonesia's pro-stability and pro-growth policy mix will continue to support stability by continuing to monitor growth space. "Bank Indonesia has also strengthened the macroprudential liquidity policy (KLM) regulations which can ultimately contribute to job creation and improving public welfare," said Muslimin. Therefore, Muslimin emphasized, Bank Indonesia continues to be committed to facilitating and supporting the flow of investment in order to make the priority program of the Special West Java Government 2025 a success, through various policy channels, to the integration of the Investor Relations Unit (IRU) - Regional Investor Relations Unit (RIRU) - Global Investor Relations Unit (GIRU) which can support the effectiveness of trade and investment promotion activities. "The synergy and collaboration of Bank Indonesia Jabar's program activities with the West Java Provincial Government such as the West Java Investment Challenges and the West Java Investment Roadshow will continue to be implemented to promote West Java investment projects," he said.

Indonesia's EV battery plant in Karawang set for Q3 2026

PT CATIB said Monday that its large-scale electric vehicle (EV) battery facility in Karawang, West Java, is on track to start operations in the third quarter of 2026, potentially as early as July. Speaking at a hearing with Indonesia’s House of Representatives (DPR), Bayu Hermawan, PT CATIB’s Director of Corporate Public Affairs, said developers are accelerating the timeline from an initial September launch target. The plant represents an investment of about Rp7 trillion and is expected to produce 6.9 GWh of batteries annually, positioning Indonesia as a regional hub for EV and energy storage solutions. “Beyond automotive batteries, the facility will produce Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to meet domestic and international renewable energy demand,” Hermawan said, highlighting the plant’s role in supporting sustainable transport and global green energy initiatives. The factory will feature an 18 MWh solar power installation to help meet operational energy needs, aligning the project with international environmental and governance standards. Once fully operational, the facility is projected to employ roughly 3,000 workers, reflecting PT CATIB’s commitment to social impact alongside industrial growth. To build technical expertise, the company is sending Indonesian staff to China for specialized training while integrating local small businesses into its supply chain. The Karawang site is part of the Integrated EV Battery Industry Ecosystem, a strategic collaboration between state-owned Antam, Indonesia Battery Corporation, and China’s CBL. Since the groundbreaking by President Prabowo Subianto in June 2025, the project has advanced rapidly, with site infrastructure completed and equipment installation now underway, Hermawan said. The facility is expected to strengthen Indonesia’s EV industry and contribute to global renewable energy supply chains, supporting both domestic electrification goals and international exports.
