Aug, 28 2026

KUNINGAN (ANTARA) – The Kuningan Regency Government in West Java is tightening business licensing governance to maintain a conducive investment climate while preventing unlicensed business operations.

Vice Regent of Kuningan Tuti Andriani stated that legal certainty and streamlined licensing procedures play a vital role in building an environment that fosters investor confidence.

“Moving forward, we hope there will be no more businesses operating without permits under the pretext of bureaucratic difficulties,” Tuti expressed in Kuningan on Thursday.

She instructed district-level officials to coordinate with the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP) to verify the legality of new construction and business activities within their respective areas.

According to her, oversight must be reinforced so that licensing convenience goes hand in hand with business compliance with existing regulations.

She also called on district officials to take an active role in monitoring and controlling licensing compliance across Kuningan Regency.

This governance enhancement, she added, is being carried out by disseminating Government Regulation (PP) No. 28 of 2025 concerning the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing during the 2026 Licensing Technical Guidance workshop.

Tuti explained that the regulation replaces PP No. 5 of 2021 and introduces several adjustments to the licensing process, including strict processing time limits for foundational requirements.

“The basic prerequisites that business operators must fulfill include Spatial Utilization Conformity (KKPR), Environmental Approval, Building Approval (PBG), and Certificate of Fitness for Occupation (SLF),” she noted.

She added that the Online Single Submission Risk-Based Approach (OSS-RBA) system also regulates the sequential fulfillment of these basic requirements before businesses can obtain operational and commercial permits.

She acknowledged that the shift in mechanics has raised operational hurdles, as some business owners remain unfamiliar with the latest workflows in the OSS system.

Tuti requested that informational materials regarding these licensing regulations be passed down systematically to business actors and the public, ensuring that investment growth in Kuningan moves in tandem with legal certainty and regulatory compliance.

“Therefore, this licensing technical guidance is expected to deepen the understanding of both officials and business owners so that the licensing process does not become a bottleneck for investment activities,” she stated.

Meanwhile, the Kuningan Regency Government recorded investment realization through Semester I 2026 reaching IDR 880 billion or approximately 326 percent of its annual target of IDR 270 billion.

Middle East Tensions Escalate, Investors Rush to Buy Gold

Jakarta - The escalating tensions in the Middle East have prompted investors to start flocking to gold commodities. They are shifting their portfolios into gold as a safe-haven asset. KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer said gold is likely to become the commodity of choice for investors amid the Middle East conflict. “Gold is likely to be more sought after than usual when markets open on Monday. Given the risks surrounding how long the conflict may last, which other countries could be drawn in, and inflation concerns, gold is expected to assume its role as the safe-haven asset of choice,” Waterer said, as quoted by Reuters on Monday (March 2, 2026). According to him, stock markets and other risk assets are likely to face heavy selling pressure at the start of the week. “Investors will look for the best place to park their funds, and gold will likely be at the top of that list,” Waterer emphasized. Marex analyst Edward Meir predicted that a surge in gold prices could occur soon as a natural market response to the outbreak of war. He forecast that gold prices could jump by US$200 per troy ounce at the opening of trading early this week. “I think we could open about $200 per ounce higher in gold, but then prices may ease throughout the day,” Edward Meir explained. The key focus for investors is whether oil flows will be disrupted. This will be a crucial factor in determining whether investors fully move into safe-haven assets. Market analyst at City Index and Forex.com, Fawad Razaqzada, projected that gold prices could reach a record level of US$5,600 per troy ounce, or around Rp3 million per gram, amid the war in the Middle East. “There will be increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, which could push prices back up toward US$5,500 and possibly to a new record high above the January peak of around US$5,600,” Razaqzada said. However, gains beyond those levels could be limited by a potential rebound in the US dollar, as well as if crude oil prices remain significantly elevated. [Source]

West Java DPMPTSP Launches Provincial Integrated Service Center

Bisnis.com, BANDUNG -- The West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Service (DPMPTSP) launched an Integrated Public Service Center (P3T) to make it easier for MSMEs to process permits. The program was launched involving related agencies in West Java, such as the West Java Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, the West Java Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion, BPOM, and the National Standardization Agency. "Our idea is to create integrated public services and involve vertical agencies which so far have not been captured by districts, cities and other regions," said Head of the West Java Provincial Government's PMPTSP Service, Nining Yulistiani, at the Mason Pine Hotel, West Bandung Regency, Tuesday (13/2/ 2024). For MSME players, certification is important because it can make product quality more trusted by consumers. Through P3T, public services to obtain certification are easier and cut costs. "The public has seen that the old certification service is difficult and has high costs. That stigma will disappear with the existence of this public service," he said. In the future, it is possible that this program will be adopted in 27 other cities and districts in West Java so that it will be easier for people to process permits. This year, it is targeted that more MSME products will be certified so that they are more trustworthy and easier to market. "Last year's integrated service received a response of 1,200 applicants a day who wanted to access it. This is exactly the same as the four institutions involved. From there we can see the real community because they don't know so they don't make the effort," he said. His party will also hold an on-the-spot program in city districts to get closer to the community to provide services. "We will also launch mass integrated services in June and at the end of the year," he continued. At the same location, the Head of the West Java Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Andika Dwi Prasetya, appreciated the P3T program which had just been launched. Through this program, it will be easier for his party to reach and provide services to the community. "We get access to more closely serve the community for our institutional needs, especially in intellectual property interests," he said. For your information, there are a number of services provided by the West Java Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, namely copyright, patent rights, brand rights, and communal intellectual property. So far, copyright is the sector most frequently submitted by the public. "Now, for halal licensing and national standards, it is mandatory to first register the brand. With this one integrated service point, it will be easier for the public," he said. BPOM itself ensures that the existence of P3T can encourage business actors to take care of permits related to the suitability of food or cosmetic products. Interest in applying for permits will certainly be higher once the P3T service is available. Data on applications for the licensing process at BBPOM POM Bandung in 2023 will reach 363. (SOURCE)
