Kementerian PUPR and Komisi V DPR RI Visit Signals Progress for JLTS, Connecting Ancaran and Kadugede Through IJD and SBSN Financing.

Kuningan Regent Dian Rachmat Yanuar expressed confidence that the construction of the South Eastern Ring Road (Jalan Lingkar Timur Selatan/JLTS), which will connect Ancaran and Kadugede, can soon be realized. His optimism grew stronger after Commission V of Indonesia’s House of Representatives (DPR RI) pledged its full support for the strategic infrastructure project.

The support was conveyed during a specific working visit by Commission V DPR RI to the planned JLTS site in Kuningan Regency on Thursday (June 18, 2026). The delegation was led by Deputy Chairperson of Commission V, Syaiful Huda, and attended by representatives from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) and the National Road Implementation Agency. Also present were Kuningan Deputy Regent Tuti Andriani, Regional Secretary U Kusmana, and several regional government officials.

Regent Dian explained that the 9.5-kilometer South Eastern Ring Road is a continuation of the existing North Eastern Ring Road, which has significantly improved connectivity and stimulated economic growth across the regency.

“The South Eastern Ring Road is a continuation of the North Eastern Ring Road. With the support of the central government and Commission V of the DPR RI, I am confident that this road will become a major transportation corridor capable of accelerating economic growth, investment, tourism, services, and trade in Kuningan Regency,” Dian stated.

According to the Regent, the project is urgently needed due to the increasing mobility of residents and the growing number of tourists visiting Kuningan during weekends and holiday seasons.

“Kuningan has become one of the leading tourist destinations in eastern West Java. The development of the South Eastern Ring Road will improve traffic flow while opening new access routes that support the growth of tourism areas and investment opportunities,” he added.

Deputy Chairperson of Commission V DPR RI, Syaiful Huda, noted that Kuningan possesses significant potential to emerge as a new tourism destination in West Java and therefore requires adequate infrastructure support.

“We fully support this project because Kuningan is developing into one of West Java’s favorite tourism destinations. We need to ensure that its infrastructure is prepared to accommodate regional growth and prevent the area from falling behind,” Huda said.

The Ministry of Public Works and Housing outlined two alternative financing schemes for the project. The first is through the Presidential Instruction on Regional Roads (IJD), which would allow faster implementation through a multi-year development approach. The second option is financing through State Sharia Securities (SBSN) for the 2027–2029 budget period.

Commission V and the Ministry also encouraged a phased development strategy. The initial five-kilometer section, where land acquisition has already been completed, is proposed to be financed through the IJD scheme, while the remaining 4.5-kilometer section would be funded through SBSN.

“We are encouraging the first five kilometers, which are already prepared, to be financed through the IJD scheme. The remaining section can then be developed through SBSN so that construction can continue sustainably until completion,” Huda explained.

The Kuningan Regency Government has also been urged to finalize the remaining land acquisition process. Head of the Kuningan Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (PUTR), Putu Bagiasna, stated that the administration has allocated IDR 14 billion to complete the remaining land acquisition requirements.

“In our current budget work plan, we have allocated IDR 14 billion to complete the remaining land acquisition process. Additional funding required due to design adjustments and slope stabilization measures will be proposed through the revised regional budget,” he said.

Responding to the support from the central government and the legislature, the Kuningan Regency Government reaffirmed its commitment to fulfilling all necessary requirements to ensure the project can commence as soon as possible.

“We are committed to completing the land acquisition process and all supporting documentation required. Hopefully, this collective effort will produce the best outcome so that the South Eastern Ring Road can soon be realized and its benefits can be enjoyed by the people of Kuningan,” he concluded.

West Java Economy Projected to Grow Better in 2025, Facing New Leadership Challenges

POJOKSATU.ID — Bank Indonesia (BI) projects that the West Java economy in 2025 will grow better than in 2024, with a growth target of 4.7% to 5.5% (year on year/yoy). This optimism is supported by the global economic recovery and the strengthening of the domestic economy which is expected to continue. Head of the West Java Bank Indonesia Representative Office, Muhammad Nur, stated that this positive projection was driven by several key factors. One of them is the increase in people's purchasing power along with the increase in the West Java Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP). In addition, private investment is also expected to increase with an investment target of IDR 270 trillion in 2025. "Public optimism and increased private investment are the main driving forces for the West Java economy. We hope that this target can be achieved while maintaining price stability and encouraging new sources of economic growth," said Muhammad Nur when met in Bandung. However, Muhammad Nur emphasized that West Java also faces major challenges, especially related to the transition of national leadership. The central government's policy within the framework of the "Asta Cita" vision promoted by the new government has the potential to affect the flow of funds to the regions, given the increasingly limited fiscal space. "Strong synergy is needed between regional and central governments so that the economic policies taken can have a real impact on the regional economy. In addition, maintaining people's purchasing power, especially the lower middle class, is a priority so that economic recovery can be sustainable," explained Muhammad Nur. Another challenge is the still high dependence on imports and the normalization of the fiscal budget after the 2024 political year. For this reason, West Java is expected to strengthen the processing industry, agriculture, and export sectors by taking advantage of improvements in international trade relations with the United States and European countries. "Efforts to reduce dependence on imports and increase domestic industrial productivity continue to be made. This is important so that the West Java economy remains resilient in the face of global uncertainty," added Muhammad Nur. As part of the vision of "Special West Java 2025-2029" in order to move towards "Most Advanced West Java 2045", Bank Indonesia supports a mix of monetary, macroprudential, and payment system policies to maintain economic stability. "BI is ready to support synergy with all stakeholders in West Java. We hope that economic growth can continue in a sustainable and inclusive manner," concluded Muhammad Nur. With optimism and readiness to face challenges, the West Java economy is expected to grow more solidly in 2025, providing benefits to the wider community and strengthening regional competitiveness at the national and global levels.*** [SOURCE]

Purwakarta Regency Government Targets Investment of Rp 11.2 Trillion in 2025

TEROPONGNEWS.COM, PURWAKARTA – The Purwakarta Regency Government is targeting an investment of Rp 11.2 trillion in the 2025 fiscal year. The target was announced by the Head of the Purwakarta Investment and Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), Rian Oktavia, accompanied by the Agency Secretary H. Yadi, when met at his office on Thursday (September 18, 2025) afternoon. Rian explained that the target consists of Rp 5.28 trillion in Domestic Investment (PMDN) and Rp 1.24 trillion in Foreign Investment (PMA). Meanwhile, as of the first half of 2025, investment realization in Purwakarta has reached Rp 6.52 trillion, or around 58.23 percent of the annual target. “Based on the first semester's achievements, we are optimistic that this year's investment target can be achieved and even potentially exceeded,” said Rian. For comparison, in the previous fiscal year, Purwakarta also targeted investments of IDR 11.2 trillion. However, the realization achieved was only IDR 8.12 trillion, or around 72.5 percent of the target. This realization consisted of IDR 4.8 trillion in domestic investment (PMDN) and IDR 3.3 trillion in foreign investment (PMA). According to Rian, the investment achievement in Purwakarta cannot be separated from the improving business climate and the local government's commitment to providing easy licensing and services to investors. "We strive to create a conducive, transparent, and fast investment climate. This is key to making business actors feel comfortable investing their capital in Purwakarta," he added. In addition, the Purwakarta Regional Government is also encouraging investment in strategic sectors, such as manufacturing, infrastructure, tourism, and renewable energy. Rian emphasized that with this strategy, Purwakarta is expected to become one of the main investment destinations in West Java. [SOURCE]

Crazy! Foreign Investment in the Rebana Area Reaches IDR 16 Trillion, This Country Dominates

lintaspriangan.com, WEST JAVA NEWS. Foreign investment in the Rebana area continues to show a significant surge. By 2025, realized foreign investment in this new metropolitan area of West Java is expected to reach approximately IDR 16 trillion. This figure confirms Rebana as one of the strongest investment magnets in West Java, and even nationally. Data from the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM shows that capital flows into Rebana don't come from just one country. However, there's one major player whose contribution far exceeds that of other countries. Hong Kong Becomes the Ruler of Foreign Investment in Rebana Of the total foreign investment of approximately Rp16.02 trillion, Hong Kong (PRC) emerged as the largest investor, with a value of Rp8.97 trillion. This means that more than half of the total foreign investment in the Rebana Region comes from this single jurisdiction. Apart from Hong Kong, other foreign investors in the top five are: Vietnam: Rp2.96 trillion South Korea: Rp1.46 trillion People's Republic of China: Rp1.41 trillion Singapore: Rp1.22 trillion This composition shows the strong dominance of East Asia and Southeast Asia in shaping the Rebana investment landscape. Why Does Rebana Attract Foreign Investors? The primary attraction for foreign investment in the Rebana area lies in its combination of strategic infrastructure and geographic location. The area encompasses seven regencies/cities—Subang, Majalengka, Sumedang, Indramayu, Kuningan, Cirebon Regency, and Cirebon City—which are directly connected to key logistics hubs. Some key factors that make foreign investors look at Rebana include: Patimban Port in Subang is the backbone of export-import logistics. Kertajati International Airport (BIJB) in Majalengka is the region's air gateway. The Cisumdawu and Cipali Toll Roads accelerate inter-regional connectivity. The Pantura route is the main distribution route for goods in northern West Java. With this infrastructure, Rebana is positioned as a regional and global market-oriented industrial, logistics, and manufacturing hub. Rebana in Regional and Global Value Chain Maps The entry of investors from Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Vietnam, and Singapore strengthens Rebana's position in regional and global value chains. Rebana is no longer simply a local industrial area but part of a cross-border production network. Foreign investors see Rebana as a strategic location for: processing industry, export-based manufacturing, logistics and warehousing, and downstream industrial support sectors. With an industrial area of approximately 43.9 thousand hectares, Rebana offers expansion space that is rarely found in other areas in West Java. Trillions in Investment: What Impact Will It Have on the Regions? On paper, the influx of foreign investment into the Rebana Region promises economic growth, job creation, and increased industrial activity. However, the major challenge is ensuring that the benefits of this investment truly reach the region and local communities. Several socio-economic indicators, such as the Human Development Index (HDI), remain below the West Java average in several areas of Rebana. This means that significant investment has not automatically translated into improved quality of life for residents. This is the main homework for local governments and area managers: ensuring that investment does not just stop at the realization figures, but also has a real impact on: absorption of local labor, improving human resource skills, and regional economic equality. Rebana, West Java's New Economic Engine With realized foreign investment already exceeding IDR 16 trillion, the Rebana area is now at a crucial stage. On the one hand, the area has successfully attracted the trust of global investors. On the other hand, effective management and adherence to regional interests will determine Rebana's future sustainability. If investment can translate into prosperity, Rebana will truly become a new engine of the West Java economy. However, if not, the region risks becoming merely a showcase for trillions of rupiah without any impact at the grassroots level.(HS) [SOURCE]
