The investment value in Purwakarta in 2025 will reach IDR 12.47 trillion

Jan, 29 2026

Purwakarta (ANTARA) - Purwakarta Regent Saepul Bahri Binzein stated that investment realization in Purwakarta Regency, West Java, throughout 2025 was quite encouraging, reaching approximately IDR 12.47 trillion.

"The investment realization in 2025 exceeded the established target. Hopefully, investment in Purwakarta will continue to increase this year," the regent said in Purwakarta on Wednesday.

According to data from the Purwakarta Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency, investment realization from January to December 2025 reached IDR 12.47 trillion, or 111.36 percent of the target of IDR 11.20 trillion.

Of the total investment realization, domestic investment dominated, amounting to IDR 9.58 trillion, or 76.80 percent. Foreign investment contributed IDR 2.89 trillion, or 23.20 percent.

The Regent stated that the investment realization achievement was quite positive and encouraging. This is because increased investment usually accompanies economic growth and increased labor absorption.

According to him, this will certainly help address unemployment in the Purwakarta region.

So, in addition to contributing to economic growth, high investment realization also has a direct impact on employment.

Throughout 2025, investment activities in Purwakarta successfully absorbed 10,802 Indonesian workers, consisting of 6,870 workers from foreign investment and 3,932 workers from domestic investment.

The Purwakarta Regency Government, the regent stated, will remain committed to maintaining a conducive investment climate by improving the quality of licensing services that are easy, fast, and transparent.

He stated that this investment achievement is expected to encourage sustainable economic growth, expand job opportunities, and improve the welfare of the Purwakarta community.

He also expressed his full support for the West Java Provincial Government's policy regarding free education up to senior high school (SMA/SMK) level, as well as housing credit facilities for workers and teachers. According to him, this policy represents an additional welfare measure beyond the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP), the benefits of which are directly felt by the community.

Meanwhile, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi acknowledged that serious challenges remain in efforts to improve public welfare. He emphasized that various facilities beyond the UMP will continue to be promoted to meet the needs of a decent living for the people of West Java. "There is a fairly high poverty line in West Java, especially in areas where the majority of the population is farm laborers and fishermen. Therefore, there is no other way but to encourage industrial growth," explained Dedi. He hopes that industry in West Java can continue to develop so that people do not have to flock to work abroad as informal workers, but can instead obtain decent employment opportunities in the formal sector in West Java. For your information, the West Java Provincial Government has set the West Java Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) for 2026 at IDR 2,317,601.00, an increase of approximately 5.7% from the previous year's UMP.

KBEONLINE.ID - The Karawang Regency Government (Pemkab) has an investment realization target of IDR 42.7 trillion in 2024. This value has increased compared to the investment realization target in 2023 which was IDR 40.06 trillion. The Karawang Regency Government, through the Karawang Regency Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Service (DPMPTSP), has prepared several potential investment plans that will enter in 2024. Coordinator of the Investment Substance Group, DPMPTSP Karawang Regency, Didin Bihalaludin, said that this year the Karawang Regency Government will prioritize investors in the residential sector, green energy-based industries and technology development in the agricultural and plantation sectors. He explained, in 2024, there will be a company operating in the field of making paper, pulp and packaging paper that uses the latest technology in waste processing and environmentally friendly energy use. This company is one of the issuers of the Sinarmas Group, namely, PT Indah Kiat Pulp & Paper Tbk (INKP) with investment plans reaching IDR 41.1 trillion. "The total investment value of PT Indah Kiat Pulp & Paper Tbk is IDR 59 trillion. However, the work will be carried out in stages and will start in 2023.

Didin explained that Karawang Regency is a comfortable area for investors, because it has a Detailed Regency Spatial Planning Plan (RDTR), there are several locations spread across four sub-districts which are favorite investment locations for investors. So investors can choose a location according to their investment plans. The four locations are East Telukjambe, Ciampel, Klari and Purwasari Districts "We have several industrial areas that are very adequate and access roads between areas that are easy to pass," said Didin. He emphasized that his party is very optimistic that Karawang Regency can achieve the 2024 investment realization target set by the West Java Provincial Government.

Taufik Nurrohim Highlights West Java's Economic Growth Target of 7.95 Percent in the RPJMD

TRIBUNJABAR.ID - Bandung, June 26, 2025 - Discussions on the West Java Provincial Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) for 2025-2029 have now entered a strategic phase. Through the West Java DPRD Special Committee (Pansus), the document outlining the direction of development for the next five years is being thoroughly analyzed. One of the central issues that has emerged in the discussion is the target economic growth rate (LPE) of 7.95 percent by 2029. This figure has been set to align with the national development direction outlined in the 2025–2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), which targets an 8 percent economic growth rate nationally. However, for Taufik Nurrohim, S.Psi, a member of the West Java DPRD from the PKB faction who is also a member of the RPJMD Special Committee, this target should not just be a pipe dream on paper. He emphasized the importance of looking at the current economic reality in West Java and the available fiscal capacity of the region. “We must start from reality. Currently, West Java's LPE is at around 4.95 percent in 2024. This means that in the next five years, we want to add almost 3 points — this is a big leap. The question is not only whether it is possible or not, but what must be sacrificed and prepared,” said Taufik. He highlighted that the most obvious challenge lies in the region's fiscal capacity. With limited regional budget space and the dominance of routine spending, it is difficult to imagine that growth can be achieved without actively involving the private sector and investment. Therefore, Taufik emphasized that the key to pushing the LPE to 7.95 percent is the acceleration of productive and inclusive investment. However, accelerating investment is not without obstacles. The unfinished spatial planning process, weak infrastructure support in the southern and central regions, and the low readiness of the local workforce are structural obstacles that must be overcome. Taufik reminded that economic growth will only occur if the main engines of development run in harmony: investment, vocational education, connectivity, and synchronized spatial planning. “Investment is the driving force, but without ready land, suitable labor, and clear licensing, investment will only pile up on paper,” he said. Amid limited fiscal conditions, Taufik also encouraged the optimization of creative financing through the Government and Business Entity Cooperation (KPBU) scheme, the utilization of strategic regional-owned enterprises (BUMD), and the restructuring of regional budget (APBD) programs to focus more on sectors that drive economic growth. In addition to accelerating investment, the DPRD emphasized the importance of equitable growth across regions. According to Taufik, if West Java relies solely on growth from old industrial areas such as Bekasi, Karawang, and Bogor, it will remain trapped in inequality. He urged the RPJMD to encourage the creation of new growth zones in the southern region, the northern coast, and rural areas based on agriculture and tourism. Furthermore, Taufik also noted that high economic growth does not automatically reduce poverty or unemployment if it is not accompanied by structural transformation in the employment sector. He emphasized the need for connectivity between investment plans, the provision of job training, and vocational education reforms that directly address the needs of industry. “We must not pursue large-scale investment, but then bring in workers from outside the region because we are not ready. This means that growth must be closely linked to improving the quality of local human resources,” said Taufik. With this position, the West Java DPRD, particularly through the RPJMD Special Committee, has taken a critical and consolidative stance. The DPRD does not reject big ambitions, but wants to ensure that all policy instruments supporting growth are truly strong, realistic, and can be implemented with the existing APBD structure. “The 7.95 percent target is not something to be feared, but something to be prepared for together. Do not make this figure a political burden, but a strategic challenge that tests the resilience of our development system,” he concluded. [SOURCE]

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, MAJALENGKA - The Rebana or Cirebon-Patimban-Kertajati economic sector grew by around 5.8 percent. The economic growth rate of the Rebana region, which exceeds 5 percent, is claimed to be higher than the West Java and national averages.

Bernardus said that investment realization in the Rebana area in the first semester of 2024 also increased by 8.5 percent compared to last year, creating many new jobs. He is optimistic that the Rebana area will be transformed into a new economic pole for West Java in the future as planned. Moreover, 13 new industrial-based residential areas have also grown well in the Rebana area in the last 1.5 years to two years. “Seven of them already have economic activities, and we noted that there are two industrial-based residential areas with very intense activities,” said Bernardus Djonoputro. The two areas are East Cipali in Subang Regency, and the Kertajati - Jatitujuh area in Majalengka Regency. The two areas are also very promising progress along with the large value of investment that has entered the East Cipali and Kertajati - Jatitujuh areas. “Therefore, at the moment of West Java's 79th Anniversary, we are ready to launch these two areas as a story of progress in the Rebana region,” said Bernardus Djonoputro.

West Java Investment in 2025 Highest Nationally, KDM: Jabar Trusted by Investors

West Java Province remains the largest investment destination in Indonesia throughout 2025. Based on data from the Ministry of Investment/BKPM RI, investment realization in West Java in 2025 reached Rp 296.8 trillion or 109.9 percent of the set target. This achievement makes West Java the province with the highest investment realization in Indonesia. The 2025 investment figure increased by 18.21 percent compared to 2024, which was recorded at Rp 251.14 trillion. West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi said that the investment realization exceeding the target is a positive signal for the West Java economy amid global challenges. With this achievement, West Java remains the main national investment destination while contributing significantly to Indonesia’s economic growth. He said that the high level of investment in West Java cannot be separated from the hard work of various parties in creating a conducive, inclusive, and sustainable investment climate. “The West Java Provincial Government continues to ensure that investment in West Java is safe and easy so that it is trusted by investors,” said KDM, the nickname of Dedi Mulyadi, Thursday (15/1/2026). Of the total investment realization, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) reached Rp 147.02 trillion. Meanwhile, Domestic Investment (DDI) amounted to Rp 149.8 trillion. This composition shows a balance between domestic and foreign investment in driving regional economic growth. This also serves as an important indicator that West Java’s economic development does not solely rely on foreign capital, but is also strengthened by national business actors. KDM hopes that the large amount of investment entering West Java can create job opportunities, drive micro, small, and medium enterprises, and encourage equitable development across regions, thereby improving public welfare. He added that the West Java Provincial Government will continue to strengthen the investment climate by making various improvements, such as simplifying licensing and bureaucracy, as well as strengthening investment-supporting infrastructure, including industrial areas and interregional connectivity. KDM also ensured that investment in West Java runs in harmony with environmental sustainability and local wisdom. “West Java is open to investment, but remains grounded in the interests of the people,” he said.
