Majalengka Leads Ciayumajakuning with Rp5.65 Trillion in Foreign Investment, the Highest in the Region

Jul, 01 2026

Majalengka Regency has further strengthened its position as one of West Java's emerging economic growth centers.

Between 2023 and 2025, the regency attracted Rp5.65 trillion (approximately US$350 million) in foreign direct investment (FDI), accounting for nearly 46 percent of the total foreign investment realized across the Ciayumajakuning region.

According to data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) West Java, total FDI flowing into the Ciayumajakuning region—which comprises Cirebon Regency, Cirebon City, Indramayu Regency, Kuningan Regency, and Majalengka Regency—reached Rp12.34 trillion over the past three years.

Of that amount, Majalengka recorded the largest share of foreign investment among all regencies and cities in the region.

"Alhamdulillah," said Majalengka Regent Eman Suherman on Wednesday (July 1, 2026).

Meanwhile, Head of BPS West Java Margaretha Ari Anggorowati stated that the strong investment inflows demonstrate Majalengka's growing prominence as a strategic investment destination in West Java.

"The increasing volume of investment is a positive signal that the region possesses strong economic appeal. Continuous infrastructure development and its strategic location have become key factors in attracting foreign capital," Margaretha said.

Majalengka's investment dominance is closely linked to the presence of Kertajati International Airport (BIJB), direct access to the Cipali Toll Road, and the continued expansion of its industrial estates.

This combination of infrastructure provides investors with efficient logistics, improved connectivity, and broader access to domestic and international markets.

The regency has also posted impressive economic performance. In 2025, Majalengka's economy expanded by 6.86 percent, surpassing West Java's average economic growth rate.

The manufacturing sector remained one of the primary drivers of this strong economic growth.

"The dominance of foreign investment further reinforces Majalengka's position as one of the new economic growth epicenters in eastern West Java," Margaretha added.

Cirebon Regency ranked second, recording Rp4.38 trillion in foreign direct investment.

Combined, Majalengka and Cirebon Regency accounted for more than 81 percent of the total FDI realized across the Ciayumajakuning region.

Meanwhile, Indramayu Regency has also shown positive momentum, attracting Rp1.43 trillion in foreign investment during the same period.

For Majalengka, securing Rp5.65 trillion in foreign investment marks a significant milestone, reflecting its transformation from a predominantly agricultural region into one of the new engines of economic growth in eastern West Java.

Bekasi investment grows, Lippo Cikarang seizes growth opportunities

Bekasi Regency (ANTARA) - Bekasi Regency in West Java continues to solidify its position as a center of national economic growth and investment, marked by the setting of an investment target of IDR 73.27 trillion, an increase of IDR 725 billion from the 2025 target. "This increase reflects the regional government's optimism regarding an increasingly conducive and sustainable business climate," said Acting Bekasi Regent Asep Surya Atmaja in Cikarang on Thursday. He acknowledged that the increased investment target will be accompanied by strengthening the quality of services to investors through a faster, easier, and more efficient integrated service system. According to data as of the third quarter of 2025, Bekasi Regency's investment realization has reached IDR 61.78 trillion, with contributions from Foreign Direct Investment (PMA) of IDR 37.90 trillion and Domestic Direct Investment (PMDN) of IDR 23.87 trillion. This investment has also absorbed more than 55,000 workers, making Bekasi Regency the top-ranked district/city in West Java for investment realization. As an urban property developer with international-standard facilities, Lippo Cikarang Cosmopolis (LCC), LPCK sees investment growth and employment as strong indicators of the growing need for quality housing and commercial facilities. LPCK is preparing a variety of comfortable, functional, and internationally standardized residential and commercial products, developed within an integrated and sustainably managed independent city. These residential and commercial products include 5enses Collection, Cendana Grand Excelsia @ The Patio, Cendana Suites @ The Patio, The Colony, Allegra @ Casa de Lago, TreeTops @ Tanamera Vantage, and The Hive @ Neo Patio. LPCK Deputy COO Lukas Budi Setiawan expressed optimism regarding investment growth and the prospects for the property industry, which is showing strong and sustainable demand trends. "LPCK is committed to maintaining consumer trust by completing construction projects on time and ensuring the handover process runs according to schedule," said Lukas. During the first nine months of last year, LPCK recorded pre-sales of IDR 1.2 trillion, equivalent to 73 percent of the annual target of IDR 1.65 trillion. The company also posted revenue of IDR 3.44 trillion, a significant 251 percent increase compared to the same period the previous year. This growth was driven by the handover of landed houses, apartments, commercial units, and industrial land, as well as contributions from the non-property segment through the management of the Lippo Cikarang Cosmopolis area. This positive performance was also reflected in EBITDA of IDR 363 billion with an 11 percent margin, and gross profit of IDR 670 billion with a 19 percent margin, demonstrating the company's success in maintaining operational efficiency and quality growth. "With the support of an increasingly solid investment climate in Bekasi Regency, along with infrastructure readiness and mature area management, we are optimistic that we can continue to play a role as a driver of regional growth while providing a quality residential and business environment for the community and businesses alike," said Lukas.

SKK Migas targets investment in upstream oil and gas to reach US$16.1 billion

In 2024, we actually set an initial target of almost US$17 billion. However, our projection to date is at least 15-16 billion US dollars. Bandung (ANTARA) - The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) targets investment in the upstream oil and gas sector to reach US$16.1 billion this year, an increase of around 18 percent from the 2023 realization of US$13.7 billion. "In 2024 we actually set an initial target of almost 17 billion US dollars. However, our projection to date is at least US$15-16 billion," SKK Migas Deputy for Finance and Commercialization Kurnia Chairi said at the 2024 Natural Gas Forum in Bandung, West Java, Wednesday. He said investment in the oil and gas sector has experienced an improving trend in line with incentive support by the government, both in the form of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives. Referring to 2023 data, investment in the oil and gas sector was able to increase by 13 percent to 13.7 billion US dollars amid the transition of the industry from fossil energy to renewable energy. SKK Migas is optimistic that this performance shows the positive potential of the oil and gas sector. This potential has made it target the number of drilling activities to reach 799 wells this year from 322 wells in 2019. "This shows that our appetite to invest in upstream oil and gas is still very high," he said. Previously, Head of Program and Communication Division of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Hudi D. Suryodipuro said in a statement here on Thursday (13/6) that improvements in the fiscal and taxation systems provided by the government had an impact on increasing the competitiveness value of Indonesia's upstream oil and gas investment from 4.75 in 2020 to 5.30 in early 2024, according to the Standard & Poor's (S&P) International Rating Agency. Increased investment has a positive impact on exploration activities. The value of upstream oil and gas exploration investment rose from US$0.54 billion in 2020 to US$0.93 billion in 2023. The increase contributed to the discovery of gas resources such as in Geng North and Layaran, which are among the world's five largest discoveries in 2023. "With these giant discoveries in 2023 and also in 2024 at the Tangkulo-1 well in the South Andaman WK (Working Area) of 2 TCF, SKK Migas is committed to accelerating the on stream process of these discoveries, ensuring that they can immediately contribute to national oil and gas production as soon as possible," he said. To maintain this positive momentum, SKK Migas continues to evaluate the long-term plan and implement various efforts to accelerate the process. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Cirebon Investment Reaches Rp2.25 Trillion by August 2025

INILAHCIREBON.ID, – The Cirebon Regency Government, West Java, recorded an investment realization of Rp2.25 trillion by August 2025. This figure is equivalent to 65 percent of the annual target of Rp3.2 trillion. The Head of the Cirebon Regency Investment and Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), Hilmi Rivai, said that this achievement was quite encouraging. However, he emphasized that there was still a lot of work to be done to actually reach the target. "The investment realization is already Rp2.25 trillion or 65 percent of the target. We are optimistic that we can reach Rp3.2 trillion by the end of the year," said Hilmi in Cirebon on Tuesday (2/9/2025). Footwear Factory Becomes Main Pillar Hilmi explained that the majority of investments are still supported by the footwear industry. Many investors, including local entrepreneurs, are investing capital through the construction of new factories and expansion of production capacity. This labor-intensive sector is considered the driving force behind investment in Cirebon Regency because it is able to absorb a large workforce. “The labor-intensive industry is still showing a positive trend. Investors see Cirebon as quite potential,” said Hilmi. Encouraging Quality Investment Furthermore, Hilmi emphasized the importance of a long-term strategy so that investment does not only pursue quantity but also quality. The local government, he said, is committed to creating a business climate that is friendly to investment while providing tangible benefits to the community. “Without fundamental reforms, the realization of investment will only be a statistical achievement that does not touch the welfare of the community,” he said. Accelerating Services and Digitalization To support this, the Cirebon Regional Government has accelerated licensing services with a digital system. Investors also receive assistance from the planning stage until the permit is completed. In addition to the footwear industry, the local government has begun to expand the promotion of other sectors such as tourism, modern agriculture, and the creative industry. “We want the investments that come in to not only be large in terms of numbers, but also sustainable and have an impact on the community,” said Hilmi.

West Java land mapping for water pumps is requested to be completed by April 25 2024

Bandung (ANTARA) - Regional Secretary (Sekda) of West Java Province, Herman Suryatman, requested that mapping of land and farmers as potential recipients and prospective locations (CPCL) for the water pump program for rainfed rice fields in West Java be completed by April 25 2024. After completing the data collection, Herman said that the West Java Provincial Government would immediately submit the documents to the Ministry of Agriculture, which would distribute 5,000 pumps to irrigate 50,000 hectares of rain-fed rice fields in West Java. "So in a meeting with the Regional Secretary last Friday (19/4), it was requested that by April 25 2024 the target for CPCL data collection would be complete and we would send it to the Ministry of Agriculture so that West Java could execute the water pump network program for 50,000 hectares or 5,000 pumps," said Herman Suryatman when confirmed in Bandung, Saturday. Currently, said Herman, the mapping that has been submitted from districts and cities only covers 13,000 hectares or is only covered by around 1,300 pump units, where one pump can irrigate 10 hectares of rice fields. "That's why next week we have to finish collecting data for 50,000 hectares. But we still have to be accountable, that's why the Prosecutor's Office, Polri and TNI are involved to make this pumping program a success," said Herman. In this pumping program, initially the Ministry of Agriculture only provided 2,500 pumps for 25,000 hectares of rice fields. However, because the program was running well in West Java, the Ministry of Agriculture finally provided an additional 5,000 pumps. "The Ministry of Agriculture has provided 2,500 pumps, then because the field is good the Ministry of Agriculture will add another 2,500 pumps for a total of 5,000 pumps for 50,000 hectares of rain-fed rice fields," he said. With this pumping, Herman hopes that West Java's agricultural productivity will increase because farmers will be able to harvest twice a year. "So far, the harvest is only once a year, with pumping, there are two harvests," said Herman. (SOURCE)
