Rebana investment rises 57 percent, becoming a new economic magnet for West Java

Mar, 10 2026

The Rebana Metropolitan Area has strengthened its position as a new investment primadonna in West Java after recording a surge in capital realization of up to 57.67 percent throughout 2025 with a value reaching Rp33.67 trillion.

This impressive achievement places the northern corridor of West Java (Subang, Indramayu, Cirebon, Majalengka, Kuningan, Sumedang) as a new engine of economic growth that contributes 11.3 percent to the total national investment through West Java.

"Rebana is the most strategic area. Integrated with the Cisumdawu Toll Road, Cipali Toll Road, access to Patimban Port, and supported by Kertajati Airport. Hopefully many will build industries there," said Dedi Mulyadi at Gedung Sate Bandung, Thursday.

Dedi assessed that the integration of world-class infrastructure in the Rebana area has now become the main magnet for global investors to invest their capital.

In line with him, the Executive Chairman of the Rebana Management Agency (BP Rebana), Helmy Yahya, revealed that the attractiveness of this area has attracted investors from various countries. Hong Kong leads the investment commitment with Rp8.97 trillion, followed by Vietnam (Rp2.96 trillion), South Korea (Rp1.46 trillion), China (Rp1.41 trillion), and Singapore (Rp1.22 trillion).

"I ask for the support of the people of West Java because this is a heavy task. Our potential is extraordinary, but unemployment and poverty are still high. Hopefully the Rebana project can absorb labor and improve the economy," said Helmy after signing an agreement with investors from Zhejiang, China.

Macro data shows that the impact of development in this area is starting to be felt. In the third quarter of 2025, economic growth in the Rebana area was recorded at 5.53 percent, a figure above the average economic growth of West Java and the national level.

It was informed that the West Java Provincial Government (Pemprov) targets that by 2030, this area will be able to trigger economic growth of up to 7.44 percent and create jobs for at least 1.78 million people.

Entering 2026, the West Java Provincial Government will focus policies on accelerating investment and speeding up supporting infrastructure to ensure Rebana becomes the main pillar of Indonesia's economic leap in the future.

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]

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)

WORLD FOOD DAY West Java DKPP Will Disseminate Local Food and Campaign to Stop Waste of Food

PORTALJABAR, KOTA BANDUNG - The West Java Provincial Government through the West Java Food and Livestock Security Service (DKPP) will hold a commemoration of World Food Day 2024. At the West Java Province level, the commemoration of World Food Day 2024 will be held, on November 16, at SOR Arcamanik, Bandung City. A number of activities will be held, such as seminars, local food product exhibitions, joint sports, cheap bazaars and food creation competitions. West Java DKPP Secretary Indriantari said it was time to no longer depend on rice to meet food or carbohydrate needs because there are many types of local food, especially in West Java, that can replace it. "For example, sorghum, hanjeli (jali) or sweet potatoes can replace carbohydrates from rice," said Indriantari in an event entitled Bewara West Java (Beja) Vol. 12, commemorating the 44th World Food Day, with the theme "Local Food, Future Food Solutions for West Java Independence" in the hall of the Regional Secretariat of West Java Province, Bandung City, Wednesday (13/11/2024). Indriantari said, at this commemoration DKPP would expand the socialization of the use of local food, as well as campaigning to Stop Food Waste, one of which is sorghum products as a substitute for rice, which will be introduced to the public during the event. West Java DKPP will also sign a collaboration with the hotel and restaurant association in West Java to utilize suitable food that does not run out so that it is not thrown away. "There has been a circular from the Acting Governor of West Java to all OPDs to save food by controlling food waste in collaboration with food banks or associations, as well as reducing waste from homes," he said. He also explained that expanding local food production from upstream to downstream or processed ingredients would increase food security in West Java, as well as reduce food dependence, especially rice from other areas outside West Java. Yudith Sri Wulandari, an MSME player in sorghum production, said that many of the sorghum products he makes can be enjoyed instantly and are easily processed into contemporary products. "Sorghum can be a substitute for heavy meals and also snacks. I already have processed sorghum flour products that can be used to make foods such as bread and even ramen," he explained. He has collaborated with farmers, such as supplying the superior Bio Huma variant of sorghum seeds to helping with the production and distribution process. "It has been sent to various regions in Indonesia. Later on November 16, people will be able to taste sorghum food and processed sorghum products," he said. Yudith hopes that the dissemination of the use of local West Java food will continue so that local food protection can be maximized. He also hopes that sorghum production will be increased to meet increasing demand. (SOURCE)

Cianjur Still Lacks Hospitals, Open for Health Investment

Cianjur - The Cianjur Regency Government is open to investment, especially in the hospital health sector. The reason is, Cianjur currently still lacks hospitals. Cianjur Regent Herman Suherman said the area nicknamed 'Santri City' still lacks three hospitals with a patient capacity of 1,500 beds. Herman said that with a total population of 2.6 million people, Cianjur requires a total of 2,600 beds for inpatient treatment. However, initially Cianjur only had 6 hospitals with a total of 1,000 inpatient beds. "We still don't have enough beds," said Herman, Monday (9/9/2024). Herman said that his party is very open to investment in the health sector. Because Cianjur still needs around 3 hospitals to meet health service needs. "We will simplify and speed up all forms of licensing, so that investment in the health sector is easier to enter for the sake of the Cianjur health index. Because we still need 3 more hospitals, especially in the southern region," he said. The shortage of hospitals in Cianjur is slowly being answered. Edelweiss Hospital officially operates and adds to the total number of hospitals in Cianjur. "Of course we will be helped by this new hospital, so we can increase health services in Cianjur Regency. Apart from that, residents will have an alternative to having a hospital if they are sick," he said. Chairman of Edelweiss Healthcare Group, Syauqi Robbani, said that at Edelweiss Cianjur Hospital a total of 150 beds were prepared for inpatient treatment. "Today our hospital officially opened. The process is quite fast, only 3 years from initial planning. For this initial stage we prepared 100 beds, then increased to 150 beds. For our workforce we absorb 450 people," he said. Meanwhile, Director of Edelweiss Cianjur Hospital, Ratih Rustiati, said that Edelweiss Hospital is equipped with modern facilities and professional medical staff. "We are committed to providing excellent, friendly, and most importantly affordable service to all patients for better public health," he said. (SOURCE)
