Bey Hopes Investment in West Java Will Bring Positive Impact

KBRN, Bandung: Acting Governor of West Java Bey Triadi Machmudin hopes that the realization of investment in West Java in 2025 can have a full positive impact on the community. He also hopes that investment in West Java will remain the highest from before. However, investment must still have an impact on the community, especially solving the current unemployment problem. "Hopefully it will remain the highest in 2025, but it is how this investment impacts the community. So don't just invest," said Bey on the sidelines of Bewara Jawa Barat (BEJA) entitled Realization of West Java Investment 2024 and Economic Prospects in Supporting Investment in West Java in 2025, in the East Hall of Gedung Sate, Bandung City, Tuesday, (11/2/2025). He explained that the pattern that must be carried out is how to encourage the absorption of labor. For example, said Bey, by synchronizing graduates with industry needs. "First, the problem of vocational schools, link and match must be maintained. So all workers should be able to come from West Java, that will reduce," he said. Not only that, synchronization between the investment industry and business actors such as MSMEs, in providing supporting spare parts needs must also be in line. "Link and match, for example, this investment requires a supply chain company. The supply chain must also be from West Java, so that it can build MSMEs around it," he said. He hopes that with the completeness of industrial needs starting from Human Resources (HR), to others, it will not only be able to attract more investors. But also able to absorb labor, in a joint effort to reduce unemployment and social inequality in society. [SOURCE]

West Java Relies on Factory Investment Tax, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi: The Smell is Here, Gets the Money from Jakarta

RADAR BOGOR - West Java Governor, Dedi Mulyadi, admitted that he needed large funds for development sourced from taxes. "There must be rationalization, how we want to build roads, want to build bridges, want to build irrigation, want to build educational facilities, want to build health facilities must use money, where does the money come from?," said Dedi Mulyadi. "What is the source of income for West Java (Jabar) going to rely on? We don't have coal, we don't have gold mines like in other places," continued the former Purwakarta Regent. He further said that the largest income that West Java earns is from factory or industrial investment taxes. Although, said Dedi Mulyadi, there must be governance that must be improved by the central government. "What is the governance? The factory is in Karawang, the factory is in Bekasi, the factory is in Subang, the factory is in Purwakarta, the factory is in Bogor but the PPh 21 falls to the DKI Jakarta Regional Government," said Dedi Mulyadi. "The management of that has to be fixed, why? Because the Tax Office calculates it from its head office," he said. "The smell is here, the money is from Jakarta," continued Dedi Mulyadi. But behind that, he said, if the industry is a chicken, then if you want to have eggs, the formula is to take care of the chicken until it is fat. "It means that we maintain the investment together, do not disturb it," he said. According to him, when the release is not disturbed, when the industry is built, do not disturb it, when the workforce is recruited. Dedi Mulyadi emphasized that the West Java Provincial Government is here to provide guarantees of investment, security, recruitment, adequate resources with guaranteed infrastructure. Dedi Mulyadi admitted that he had started collecting data. "Hey, what do you need for your factory? Roads, I budget for it, what do you need for water? I prepare it, we build connectivity for the water. Although it's a bit difficult, we are here to provide them with a guarantee," he explained. "For what? To compete with Vietnam, China so that they are comfortable, if they are comfortable there will be recruitment," he explained. Dedi Mulyadi further explained that entrepreneurs who build industries will have laborers in the factory, after that the materials absorbed will also be money. "If entrepreneurs feel protected, then we don't need to talk, they also understand what we want," he concluded. (*) [SOURCE]

Facing Economic Slowdown in 2024, West Java DPMPTSP Aims for Downstreaming Cake

Bisnis.com, BANDUNG -- The political year and global conditions that have not yet recovered mean that the economic slowdown will still occur in 2024. Head of the West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Service (DPMPTSP), Nining Yulistiani, confirmed that the issue of an economic slowdown will still affect the rate of investment in 2024. However, opportunities remain. "All this time I have seen in West Java that when the economy slows down, it is because of global disruption which then has its influence and then weakens," he said at the Beja vol 1 event in the East Hall, Gedung Sate, Bandung, Tuesday (9/1/2024). According to him, West Java was affected by the slowdown due to the position of exports and industry, especially the manufacturing and processing sector which contributed 42% of the economic pie. "Well, I see that West Java must be certified for the types of industry in West Java, including renewable downstreaming," he said. Opportunities in this sector relate to plantations, agriculture, livestock, fisheries, maritime affairs, forestry. "Then the downstreaming from upstream to downstream is renewable. Except for downstreaming which is end product in nature. Like EVs, where we don't have the raw materials, right, [that] is in Sulawesi, Papua or Maluku," he said. According to him, downstream opportunities come from, for example, making batteries and battery packs as well as developing the electric vehicle industry. "We are directing this to West Java. Because the environment or ecosystem has been built in us," he said. Nining admitted that the opportunities and investor interest in this sector are quite positive, especially from countries in the Middle East and China. "They are responsive to wanting to develop the agricultural industry, all kinds of things. Agricultural farms and so on in West Java have huge potential because they see the potential for a food crisis in the future as well as their needs," he said. It is believed that Nining will get the downstream potential related to food from China, but not yet the same interest from Middle Eastern countries. "Because our exports to China are related to food. They have seen this, including in the Middle East," he concluded. (SOURCE)
