Realization of Expenditure and Regional Original Revenue (PAD) of West Java Predicted by Bank Indonesia to Increase in Second Semester 2025

Nov, 18 2025

SUKABUMIUPDATE.com – Bank Indonesia (BI) predicts that the realization of expenditure and Regional Original Revenue (PAD) of West Java Province will increase significantly in the second semester of 2025.

As of July 2025, the realization of Budget Expenditure (APBD) of West Java Province reached 38.79 percent. This figure is above the national average, which only reached 31.8 percent.

Meanwhile, the realization of West Java’s PAD has reached 44.72 percent of the fiscal target of APBD 2025, also surpassing the national average at 43.62 percent.

Deputy Chief Representative of Bank Indonesia West Java, Muslimin Anwar, expressed optimism that the rising spending trend will continue in the second semester, along with the easing of budget policies at both central and regional levels.

“The budget tightening has started to loosen, both at the central and regional levels,” he said at Gedung Sate, Monday (July 14, 2025).

According to him, the large-value infrastructure spending was not yet optimal in the first semester and will be maximized in the second semester. This includes several projects within the National Strategic Program (PSN) that have started in West Java.

“Infrastructure project spending, especially PSN, will be further optimized in the second semester. There are quite a few of these programs in West Java,” he added.

On the PAD side, Muslimin emphasized the need to optimize the non-motor-vehicle tax sector. He assessed that the incentive policy of waiving Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) positively impacted the increase in PAD, including revenue from billboard taxes.

He also reminded the importance of attention to community welfare, especially micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Regional governments are expected to encourage promotion of MSME products through exhibitions and business meetings to break into export markets.

“West Java’s craft exports are still good; if higher taxes are imposed, especially from the US, markets might shift to Europe or countries in Asia and the Middle East. But of course, product quality must be improved,” he said.

Muslimin added that now is the right moment for MSMEs to maximize domestic market potential.

Meanwhile, West Java Provincial Secretary Herman Suryatman revealed that the fiscal capacity of West Java’s APBD in 2025 reaches over Rp31 trillion, making it among the highest among 38 provinces in Indonesia.

In a meeting with Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian, Herman stated that West Java’s regional expenditure ranks third nationally, after Yogyakarta and West Nusa Tenggara.

Besides encouraging acceleration of expenditure realization, Herman stressed that the quality of regional spending is also a primary focus.

“The Governor always reminds that APBD spending must directly benefit the community. God willing, we will continue to maintain and oversee West Java’s APBD for the welfare of the people,” he affirmed.

Downstreaming is the Ninja Way to a Golden Indonesia 2045

Sumedang: Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Bahlil Lahadalia said that downstreaming is one of the ways to create a source of state income to realize the goal of a Golden Indonesia in 2045. "So when I entered the government, President Jokowi immediately ordered us to immediately think of measurable comprehensive steps to realize investment in the downstream sector," Bahlil said in a public lecture at the Institute of Domestic Government (IPDN) in Sumedang, West Java, Thursday, July 11, 2024. Bahlil said the creation of added value is important to increase state revenues. Prior to downstreaming, nickel exports in 2017 only reached USD3.3 billion. Meanwhile, in 2023 or after downstreaming is implemented, the figure increases significantly to USD33.8 billion. This figure only comes from one to two nickel derivatives, not including Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries and electric cars. "In 2023, our export value from nickel downstreaming will reach USD33.8 billion. Up 10 times in just four to five years," he said. Investors must cooperate with MSMEs Furthermore, he revealed, his party has made a design for downstreaming both in the oil and gas sector, minerals and coal, plantations, fisheries, forestry and agriculture. "We create added value here, so as to create jobs. If jobs are created, downstreaming is built, state revenues rise, wages rise, salaries for civil servants also rise," Bahlil said. Therefore, Bahlil said, his party has encouraged that every investment that enters the region must collaborate with entrepreneurs and MSMEs in the region. "Regional people must be masters in their own country, not spectators. Please guide your friends who have just finished school to become entrepreneurs so that they can develop the regions and their economy can be controlled by themselves," Bahlil said. Meanwhile, IPDN Rector Hadi Prabowo revealed that downstreaming is a sustainable economic transformation process based on high value-added commodities to enter a more complex economic structure. "Downstreaming is expected to increase productivity, added value, so that we can be able to increase the value of the industrial supply chain then we can protect our commodities from price fluctuations then we can reach the top of the industrial tree and of course support the strength of the domestic economy," said Hadi.

Bey Optimistic New Walahar Bridge Will Further Support Community Economy

Karawang, West Java (ANTARA) - Acting Governor of West Java Bey Triadi Machmudin is optimistic that the new Walahar Bridge which was inaugurated and is located in Kutapohaci Village, Klari District, Karawang Regency, Wednesday, will further support the community's economy. The reason is, said Bey, this bridge connects two districts in Karawang Regency, namely Ciampel and Klari which are on the border with Purwakarta Regency and helps accessibility for the community, the majority of whom work as traders. "The Walahar Bridge which was just inaugurated is proof of the government's presence in serving and providing convenience for connectivity and access to the community which has implications for the community's economy," said Bey in Karawang. Because, with increased accessibility and connectivity in the region, this new Walahar Bridge will support the improvement of the economy of the surrounding community. "The community really appreciates this bridge. Of course, from an economic perspective, it will make it easier for those who are trying (to trade), and also increase market coverage," he said. The new Walahar Bridge itself was built through a West Java Province financial assistance scheme worth around IDR 52 billion. The new Walahar Bridge is a type of concrete bridge with a width of seven meters with two lanes of vehicles, two directions and a length of 130 meters with three spans. In addition to being a connection between Ciampel District and the Purwakarta Regency border, the new Walahar Bridge can also support tourism access and the South Japek Toll Road and overcome frequent congestion. Previously, the community used the Walahar Dam Service Bridge which was built in 1925 with a width of only three meters. For that, Bey instructed the Karawang Regency Government to follow up on the construction of the new Walahar Bridge with road development so that congestion can be resolved. "The development by the local government related to the narrowing of the road will be widened so that congestion does not occur," he said. (SOURCE)

The draft regional regulation was prepared as a follow-up to the full operation of Kertajati Airport, Majalengka Regency, following the transfer of flights from Bandung, which is projected to increase the need for working capital and investment.

West Java Investment Reaches Rp218 Trillion, Employing Over 300,000 Workers

Bandung, Sonora.ID – West Java once again demonstrates its dominance as the province with the largest investment realization in Indonesia. By the third quarter of 2025, investment value in West Java reached IDR 218.2 trillion, equivalent to 15.2 percent of total national investment. This achievement represents an 18 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024, which recorded IDR 184.89 trillion. This surge confirms investors' high confidence in the business climate in Indonesia's most populous province. The increase in investment also has a direct impact on employment. From January to September 2025, 303,469 people were employed in various sectors, a 4.45 percent increase compared to last year (290,545 people). Of this figure, domestic investment (PMDN) absorbed 175,385 workers, while foreign investment (PMA) created 128,084 new jobs. The manufacturing and industrial support services sectors were the main contributors, in line with the expansion of several large companies. One of the latest projects is the BYD electric vehicle manufacturer in Subang Regency, which has recruited 4,500 certified skilled workers. The presence of this green technology-based industry is seen as marking a transformation in West Java's investment direction toward sustainable and high-value-added sectors. "This investment figure is expected to continue to increase with the entry of new investors in industrial areas such as Rebana Metropolitan, Bekasi, and Greater Bandung," said Dedi Taufik, Head of the West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), recently. According to him, the West Java Provincial Government is committed to maintaining this positive trend by improving fast, transparent, and integrated investment services. Various digital innovations, such as the KUJANG (West Java Integrated Licensing Service Collection) system, are currently being developed to reduce bureaucracy and expedite the licensing process at the provincial and district/city levels. "Investment is not just about numbers, but also about community welfare. We want every rupiah invested to create new jobs, stimulate the regional economy, and strengthen West Java's competitiveness," Dedi emphasized. With this achievement, West Java is increasingly solidified as a national economic engine and a locomotive for manufacturing industry investment in Indonesia, proving that a stable investment climate and adaptive public services are the main attraction keys.

Deputy COO LippoLand, Lukas Budi Setiawan, mengatakan pengembangan OAZE Lakeside Homes merupakan bagian dari strategi jangka panjang perusahaan untuk menghadirkan kawasan yang tumbuh seiring perkembangan Cikarang. “Perkembangan Cikarang yang sangat pesat membuka peluang besar bagi terciptanya kawasan hunian yang berkualitas dan berkelanjutan. Melalui OAZE Lakeside Homes, kami ingin menghadirkan lebih dari sekadar rumah. Kami membangun sebuah lingkungan yang menggabungkan lokasi strategis, konsep lakeside living, serta kualitas hidup yang lebih baik bagi masyarakat,” ujarnya.
