Feb, 04 2026

Majalengka - Investment growth in Majalengka Regency throughout 2025 showed a positive trend. Foreign Direct Investment (PMA) and Domestic Direct Investment (PMDN) reached IDR 3.36 trillion from January to December 2025.

The Head of the Majalengka Regency Investment and Private Investment Office (DPMPTSP), Ucu Sumarna, stated that this realization demonstrates increasing investor interest in Majalengka. "Thank God, Majalengka's investment realization continues to move positively. This shows that Majalengka remains a region attractive to investors, both domestic and foreign," Sumarna told detikJabar on Monday (February 2, 2026).

Sumarna explained that the increased investment is inseparable from the local government's efforts to improve the business climate, particularly through easier licensing and business certainty.

"We are focusing on simplifying licensing and accelerating services. Furthermore, Majalengka has strategic advantages such as industrial areas, airports, and continuously developing connectivity," he said.

Going forward, Ucu continued, the Majalengka Regency Government will encourage investment not only to be concentrated in certain sectors, but also to target labor-intensive sectors and the local economy.

Meanwhile, Majalengka Regent Eman Suherman stated that this investment achievement is an indicator that Majalengka is becoming increasingly competitive as an investment destination.

"The influx of Rp 3.36 trillion in investment shows that Majalengka is becoming increasingly competitive. This aligns with the Majalengka Langkung Sae development spirit, where economic growth must have a direct impact on the community," he said.

Eman emphasized that the regional government is not only focused on the investment value, but also on its quality and impact on employment and economic growth.

"We encourage investment that creates jobs, stimulates the local economy, and strengthens strategic sectors. The regional government is present to provide certainty, ease of licensing, and a conducive business climate," he explained.

Furthermore, Eman said, the presence of the industrial area and the West Java International Airport (BIJB) in Kertajati are important factors driving investment in Majalengka. "We hope that the incoming investment will not only be substantial in value, but will also have a direct impact on the welfare of the Majalengka community," he concluded.

Reasons why Indonesia cannot make toll roads free during Eid, like Malaysia

Bloomberg Technoz, Jakarta - The Malaysian government is implementing a free toll road tariff policy on April 8-9 2024, to support the peak homecoming season for Eid 2024. So, why can't a similar policy be fully implemented in Indonesia? Head of the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT) of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Miftachul Munir explained that the policy of free toll road tariffs, if adopted in Indonesia, would have an impact on the domestic investment climate. "Regarding this policy, of course it will have an impact on investment," explained Munir, Tuesday (2/4/2024). As an illustration, in the case of tariff rationalization for the Trans-Java Toll Road (JTTJ), initially the tariff was set at IDR 1,400/km, but government policy requested that the tariff be reduced to IDR 1,000/km. Thus, this tariff rationalization will not be provided free of charge, because the consequences will be returned at the time of special tariff adjustments. "This special tariff adjustment is of course the next user who will pay. So the initial user gets the beneficiary, but the later user ultimately replaces the certainty," he explained. Even so, Munir believes that the free toll tariff policy can actually be implemented, but further feasibility studies are needed. "We will review the feasibility study to see whether it will have an impact on investment or concessions or tariffs," he explained. Not the Operator's Domain Secretary General of the Indonesian Toll Road Association (ATI) Kris Ade Sudiyono explained that according to him, the policy of freeing toll rates during the Eid homecoming period is not in the realm of operators, but in the realm of government policy. He said, referring to Indonesian legislation, the construction of domestic toll roads involves investment from the private sector or other parties outside the government. As a result, the investment return process is based on the toll rates charged to road users. "So from our perspective of toll road management, we cannot give a statement. We can only say, we follow the existing laws and regulations that the tariff is in accordance with the existing agreement," explained Kris. "[What] we can currently provide is an initiative to help distribute traffic so that there are no build-ups at the same time and on the same day by providing incentives to cut toll rates before the peak homecoming days," he continued. Previously, the Coordinating Minister for Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendy announced the implementation of a 20% discount on toll rates during the Idul Fitri 1445 Hijriah or Eid 2024 homecoming period. The 20% discount on toll rates will apply to the Cikampek Main Toll Gate and Kalikangkung Toll Gate exits, including the Palimanan—Kanci, Semarang—Batang, and Jakarta—Cikampek Toll Roads. The fare discount on homecoming traffic will apply from April 3 2024 at 05.00 WIB to April 5 2024 at 05.00 WIB. Meanwhile, for reverse flow, it will start April 16 2024 at 05.00 WIB until April 19 2024 at 05.00 WIB. (SOURCE)

West Java’s GRDP Hits Rp755 Trillion in Q2-2025

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG – West Java’s economy continues to climb. In the second quarter of 2025, the province’s Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) at current prices reached Rp755.19 trillion, while at constant 2010 prices it stood at Rp459.80 trillion. The province also recorded solid economic growth. On a year-on-year (y-on-y) basis, West Java grew 5.23 percent, slightly higher than the national growth rate of 5.12 percent. Compared to the previous quarter (quarter-to-quarter/q-to-q), the province’s economy expanded 2.33 percent. “West Java’s economic performance in Q2-2025 can be summarized as follows: growth of 2.33 percent (q-to-q), 5.23 percent (y-on-y), and 5.11 percent (cumulative-to-cumulative/c-to-c),” said Acting Head of West Java BPS, Darwis Sitorus, at the provincial BPS office on Tuesday (Aug 5, 2025). In West Java’s GRDP structure, the manufacturing industry remains the largest contributor, accounting for 40.08 percent of the economy. This sector also made the biggest contribution to growth—1.44 percent (y-on-y) and 0.76 percent (q-to-q). “The largest source of growth in Q2-2025 (q-to-q) by business field was the manufacturing industry,” Darwis explained. Beyond industry, the “other services” sector posted the highest quarterly growth, jumping 14.88 percent, followed by health services with 10.71 percent growth. This trend highlights West Java’s increasing reliance on the service economy. From the expenditure side, household consumption remains the main driver of economic growth, contributing 2.90 percent (y-on-y). However, on a quarterly basis, the sharpest rise came from government consumption, which surged 24.59 percent. “From the expenditure perspective, the component with the largest contribution is household consumption, at 2.90 percent,” Darwis added. Meanwhile, Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) also showed strong performance, growing 6.79 percent (y-on-y). Darwis noted that West Java contributed 22.55 percent to Java Island’s economy, which as a whole grew 5.24 percent in Q2-2025. This places West Java in fourth position in terms of contribution, alongside East Java, and only slightly behind Jakarta and Banten. For comparison, the highest economic growth on Java Island was recorded in DI Yogyakarta, at 5.49 percent. Seasonal factors also played a role in driving growth this quarter. Increased economic activity during Eid al-Adha, the Hajj season, and higher mobility from January to June 2025 boosted tourism and trade. “Hotel occupancy rates grew 8.38 percent (c-to-c). In addition, investment realization in West Java rose sharply, reaching Rp72.5 trillion,” Darwis said. [SOURCE]

Dedi: BJB has the biggest opportunity in Indonesia to develop West Java's investment ecosystem

Bandung (ANTARA) - West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi believes that PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten (BJB) can become the largest and healthiest bank in Indonesia by optimizing the investment ecosystem in West Java, which is valued at over Rp 296.8 trillion. Dedi believes that BJB's status as a Regional Development Bank (BPD) should not limit its scope for movement, so he is pushing for expansion, the key to which lies in having the courage to partner directly with industrial companies that are the main pillars of investment realization in the Land of Pasundan. "Bank BJB must enter the industrial sector, which currently generates the highest investment in West Java in Indonesia. If everyone becomes a partner, BJB will become the largest and healthiest bank," Dedi said in a statement in Bandung on Saturday. Dedi's encouragement was based on data from the Indonesian Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), which ranked West Java as the national investment champion throughout 2025. Investment realization in this province reached IDR 296.8 trillion, a surplus of 109.9 percent of the set target. This investment mix is considered balanced and offers potential for the banking sector, with IDR 147.02 trillion in Foreign Direct Investment (PMA) and IDR 149.8 trillion in Domestic Direct Investment (PMDN). Dedi emphasized that the high level of confidence from both foreign and domestic investors should be seized as a captive market opportunity by BJB, rather than simply remaining a spectator at home. In addition to targeting the corporate and industrial sectors, Dedi also challenged BJB to strengthen its strategic partnership with the government in addressing basic social issues. He requested BJB's active involvement in housing development programs for the poor, the establishment of new schools, financing the education of orphans, and accelerating capital for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). According to Dedi, a healthy and visionary bank is not only seen from its financial balance sheet, but is born from management, the board of commissioners, and a banking environment that has integrity and a strong social vision.

Karawang - Investment realization in the first semester of 2024 in Karawang Regency reached IDR 37.4 trillion, the Regional Government is optimistic that it will exceed the target set by the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). Head of the Karawang Regency Investment and Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP) Wawan Setiawan explained that the first semester investment realization this year had reached 78 percent. “Alhamdulillah, for this year, in the first semester of 2024, we have reached 78 percent of investment realization, or a total of Rp37.4 trillion,” said Wawan, when contacted by detikJabar, Thursday (15/8/2024). Apart from sharing programs, said Wawan, the factor for investment realization in Karawang Regency is quite high, due to the large number of investments from battery manufacturers for electric cars and motorbikes. “Yes, apart from the program, the main factor may also be because we are attracting investors, one of which is an electric vehicle battery factory from Korea which was inaugurated yesterday by President Jokowi,” he said. In addition, it also lures other investors, starting from B3 waste management, so that these companies present tenants who might support the sale of the electric vehicle battery company. “Apart from Korean companies, companies from China are also investing in the same field,” he added. Meanwhile, Karawang Regent Aep Syaepuloh also admitted that he was optimistic that investment realization would exceed the target, so that in the future the development of Karawang must also be more advanced. “We are even supported by various infrastructures, such as access connectivity, from toll roads, to fast train stations. So we are optimistic that every year we will exceed the investment realization target,” said Aep, when contacted by detikJabar. Aep further explained, the realization must also go hand in hand with massive employment, so that the welfare of the community also increases. “This investment realization must of course also go hand in hand with significant employment, and to date based on reports the employment rate has also increased along with that the welfare of the community has also increased,” he concluded.
