Sumedang Regent Dony Ahmad Munir and the Chairman of the West Java Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), Almer Faiq Rusyidi, discussed various investment opportunities that have the potential to accelerate economic growth in Sumedang Regency. The meeting, held at the Regent’s Office in the Sumedang Government Center (PPS) on Monday, June 15, 2026, focused on the development of industrial estates, investment in the clean water sector, and the utilization of information technology to support smart city development.

 

During the meeting, Regent Dony emphasized that the Sumedang Regency Government remains committed to creating a conducive and investor-friendly business environment. One of the key initiatives undertaken by the local government is the simplification of licensing procedures through an integrated service system at the Public Service Mall.

 

“We roll out the red carpet for investors by simplifying the licensing process. We have implemented a one-stop service system at the Public Service Mall, enabling permits to be processed efficiently while eliminating illegal costs associated with incoming investments,” Dony stated.

 

According to him, the development of industrial estates remains one of the region’s top priorities to attract more investors. Sumedang has designated several strategic areas as future economic growth centers, including the Buahdua, Ujungjaya, and Tomo Industrial Estate (BUTOM), covering approximately 4,900 hectares, the Dwipapuri Industrial Estate, as well as several tourism destinations with strong investment potential.

 

Dony expressed hope that the discussions with Kadin West Java would strengthen business confidence and encourage greater investment in Sumedang Regency. He also believes that Kadin’s support will enhance the promotion of the region’s investment opportunities to business communities at both regional and national levels.

Beyond the industrial sector, Sumedang also offers investment opportunities in the clean water sector. The region’s abundant water resources, including reservoirs and the Cimanuk River, are considered valuable assets that can support various development programs, particularly in Ujungjaya and surrounding areas.

 

In the field of information technology, the Sumedang Regency Government is promoting the implementation of the Predictive Government concept, which utilizes data and digital technologies to support more accurate decision-making and deliver tangible benefits to the public. This initiative forms part of the regency’s broader efforts to become more adaptive to technological advancements.

 

Meanwhile, Almer Faiq Rusyidi, Chairman of Kadin West Java, reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to serving as a strategic partner of local governments in fostering investment growth across West Java, including Sumedang Regency. Kadin also proposed collaboration opportunities in the water investment sector through partnerships with the regional water utility company, as well as the application of data-driven and information technology solutions to support smart city implementation.

 

“As a strategic partner of the government, Kadin is fully committed to supporting and facilitating investment growth throughout West Java, including in Sumedang Regency,” he said.

 

The collaboration between the Sumedang Regency Government and Kadin West Java is expected to create new investment opportunities, accelerate regional economic growth, and generate broader employment opportunities for local communities.

73 Rp298.6 Trillion Investment in West Java: Bank bjb's Momentum to Increase Profits

RMOLJABAR Investment realization reaching IDR 298.6 trillion in West Java throughout 2025 opens up opportunities for bank bjb to increase profits and strengthen its contribution to regional economic growth.   West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi emphasized that significant profits will enable the regional development bank to distribute dividends of up to IDR 400 billion to the provincial government.   "It's non-negotiable; the profit figure must reach IDR 2.2 trillion if you want to become president director," Dedi stated to Acting President Director of bank bjb, Ayi Subarna, at the Business Review for Semester II 2025 & Executive Workshop for 2026 event at Bale Gede Pakuan, Bandung, on Friday, January 23, 2026.   If some investors obtain funding from bank bjb, Dedi believes the company's performance will be significantly boosted. Furthermore, West Java's infrastructure projects in 2026, valued at over IDR 7 trillion, should also be utilized as a strategic opportunity by bank bjb.   The Governor emphasized that the board of directors and commissioners must possess a sharp business acumen, be able to maintain a neutral stance when assessing credit applications, and resist the influence of external pressure.   "We must hone these instincts so we can identify honest borrowers and those who are not. When banking institutions are neutral and maintain integrity, they will increasingly gain public trust," he added.   He added that companies investing in West Java can also be offered bank bjb customer service, including employee wage payments through the bank's services.   "A Chinese businessman wants to open a factory in West Java. I offered 3,000 skilled workers, and they will have to save at bjb. But bjb must also have a strong IT division, so we can prevent slow electronic transactions and slow ATMs," Dedi emphasized.   Besides the industrial sector, Dedi encouraged bank bjb to be involved in social development, including providing housing for the underprivileged, establishing new schools, providing scholarships for orphans, and mentoring MSMEs.   In the same location, Acting. Bank bjb President Director, Ayi Subarna, noted that as of December 31, 2025, the company's net profit reached IDR 1.09 trillion with assets of IDR 181 trillion.   "Bjb remains committed to supporting West Java's economic growth and regional programs, while adhering to prudent principles," said Ayi.   Ayi also commended the governor for continuing to promote Bank bjb beyond West Java. Currently, Bank bjb's network has expanded to Bali, Padang, Medan, and Aceh.   Meanwhile, the Head of the West Java Financial Services Authority (OJK), Darwisman, added that to achieve its dividend target of IDR 400 billion, Bank bjb needs to achieve a net profit of more than IDR 2.2 trillion by 2026.   "In 2023, Bank bjb's profit reached IDR 1.8 trillion, but it has declined again. This means there is a significant opportunity to achieve the Governor's target," said Darwisman.   He recommended that Bank bjb streamline costs, expand credit penetration, and monitor implementation to prevent fraud. With 12 percent credit growth and Rp1.4 trillion in efficiency, the projected profit could reach Rp2.58 trillion.   [SUMBER]
