Warta Ekonomi, Bandung – The West Java Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) is strengthening its collaboration with the West Java High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) to foster legal certainty for business players and improve the investment climate in the province.

This commitment emerged during an audience between the Chairman of the West Java Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Almer Faiq Rusydi and his board members with the Head of the West Java High Prosecutor's Office, Sutikno, at the West Java High Prosecutor's Office building on Wednesday (July 22, 2026).

During the meeting, both parties agreed to enhance communication and coordination between the business community and law enforcement agencies as part of efforts to foster a healthier business climate and support regional economic growth.

West Java Chief Public Prosecutor Sutikno stated that synergy between law enforcement agencies and the business sector is a crucial factor in providing legal certainty to business players.

"This synergy serves as a crucial foundation for establishing legal certainty for the business community," he said.

He also urged business players in West Java to continue upholding integrity and conducting business operations responsibly, thereby supporting the creation of a healthy and sustainable investment climate.

From the business sector's perspective, West Java Kadin Chairman Almer Faiq Rusydi stated that the organization would continue to strengthen its role in supporting regional economic development through various programs to be discussed at the Provincial Leadership Meeting (Rapimprov).

According to Almer, the Regional Leadership Meeting (Rapimprov) will serve as a forum to establish the organization's official work program, aimed at strengthening Kadin's contribution to economic and business development in West Java.

In addition, the West Java Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) is currently undertaking organizational consolidation at the regional level. As the terms of office for several regency and city-level Kadin boards are drawing to a close, city and regency conferences are underway to ensure that leadership succession proceeds in accordance with organizational mechanisms.

The audience also served as an opportunity to strengthen collaboration between Kadin and the High Prosecutor's Office in carrying out their respective functions, including creating a business environment more conducive to investment.

For business players, legal certainty is considered a key factor in driving new investment, expanding business activities, and boosting investor confidence in a region. Meanwhile, more intensive communication between the business community and law enforcement agencies is expected to minimize potential disputes and obstacles in the conduct of business operations.

The West Java Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) hopes that synergy with the High Prosecutor's Office will support the creation of a healthier business ecosystem while accelerating regional economic growth through increased investor confidence and a more conducive business climate.

This figure accounted for about 15.7 percent of Indonesia’s total national investment realization during the period, making West Java the province with the highest investment realization in Indonesia. The Head of the West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP), Dedi Taufik, stated that the investment realization in Q3 2025 demonstrates West Java’s continued strong attractiveness as a destination for both domestic and foreign investors. “Investor confidence in West Java remains high.

Domestic investment recorded a 74.33 percent increase, rising from Rp41.8 trillion in Q3 2024 to around Rp41.8 trillion in Q3 2025, while foreign investment grew 8.42 percent YoY, increasing from Rp32.6 trillion in Q3 2024 to approximately Rp35.3 trillion in Q3 2025.

State Budget Performance Remains Strong, Catalyzing Economic Growth in West Java

KBRN, Bandung: The performance of the State Budget (APBN) in the West Java region until August 31, 2025, recorded positive and stable results. The Regional Office of the Directorate General of Treasury (DJPb) of West Java Province released the regional APBN surplus achievement of IDR 11.58 trillion, with total revenue reaching IDR 90.11 trillion or 58.53% of the target, and expenditure realization of IDR 78.54 trillion or 64.18% of the ceiling. The Head of the West Java Regional Office of the DJPb, Fahma Sari Fatma, said that state revenue grew by 5.31% year-on-year. This growth was mainly driven by tax revenue, particularly from income tax (PPh), excise, and other taxes. However, several types of taxes, such as PPh Articles 21 and 22 and domestic VAT, experienced a contraction. The decline in domestic VAT was due to a decrease in the contribution of large taxpayers, an increase in refunds, and a decline in public consumption. On the other hand, revenue from the Customs and Excise sector has reached IDR 19.66 trillion or 64.25% of the target, supported by 5.06% growth in excise revenue, including the impact of the policy to relax the 90-day deferral of HT excise payments. The realization of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) also recorded positive performance, namely Rp5.20 trillion or 95.17% of the target, experiencing a growth of 10.50% (yoy). This growth was supported by other PNBP which rose 16.95% and BLU revenue which rose 4.42%. This shows the increasingly optimal utilization of government assets and services to generate revenue. "In terms of state expenditure, by the end of August 2025, Rp78.54 trillion had been realized, or 64.18% of the ceiling of Rp122.36 trillion. Although it shows nominal growth, the annual expenditure of Ministries/Institutions (K/L) experienced a slowdown of 24.16% compared to the previous year, especially in goods and capital expenditure due to budget efficiency policies," said Fahmi, in a press conference on Monday (9/29/2025). However, the performance of transfers to regions and village funds (TKDD) was quite solid. Regional transfers reached Rp49.37 trillion (69.04%) and village funds reached Rp5.59 trillion (88.21%). This was one of the factors driving better state spending compared to the previous year. Overall, TKDD realization reached Rp54.96 trillion or 70.60% of the ceiling. National priority programs also continue to run and have a real impact on the people of West Java. Among them, the Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) has reached 1.37 million beneficiaries in 27 districts/cities. In addition, the FLPP program has reached 38 thousand beneficiaries in 1,576 locations. Other programs such as People's Schools, KUR, UMi, and school revitalization have also shown significant achievements in promoting welfare and human development. From a macroeconomic perspective, West Java's economic growth in the second quarter of 2025 reached 5.23% (yoy) with a GRDP of Rp459.80 trillion. Inflation in August 2025 was recorded at 1.77% (yoy) with a consumer price index (CPI) of 108.79. The city of Sukabumi recorded the highest inflation at 3.54%, while Bandung Regency recorded the lowest at 1.46%. West Java's trade balance in July 2025 also recorded a surplus of USD 2.47 billion, with total exports reaching USD 3.51 billion and imports USD 1.03 billion. Cumulatively from January to July 2025, non-oil and gas trade with the United States recorded a surplus of USD 3.40 billion, while trade with China and Taiwan still experienced a deficit. Although West Java's Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP) declined by 0.53% to 115.61 in August 2025, this was mainly due to falling agricultural commodity prices. However, rice prices actually showed an increase at the milling level. The government continues to monitor these developments to maintain balance. Amid global challenges such as geopolitical conflicts, commodity price fluctuations, and market uncertainty, the government remains committed to maintaining fiscal stability and sustainability. The performance of the state budget in West Java until August 2025 is considered “on track” and will continue to be optimized as a catalyst for economic growth and a foundation in supporting national priority programs.

Finally West Java Will Have an Inner-City Toll Road Worth Rp8.3 Trillion, This is the Route Leak!

LENGKONG, AYOBANDUNG.COM - West Java Province will finally have an inner-city toll road soon. It is known, the inner-city toll road that will soon be owned by West Java Province is precisely in Bandung. The toll road which is planned to have a length of about 27.3 kilometers is called the Bandung Inner City Toll Road or Bandung Intra Urban Toll Road (BIUTR). The Bandung Inner City Toll Road was built with a fantastic investment cost of Rp8.3 trillion. Swallowing investment costs of up to Rp8.3 trillion, this toll road is said to be a solution in solving the congestion problem in the city of Bandung because its route will cross several points of the city center. Reportedly, the route of this toll road is Pasteur Toll Road - Jalan Junjunan - Flyover Pasirkaliki - Flyover Pasupati - Gasibu - Jalan Surapati - Junction Pusdai - Jalan PHH Mustofa - Junction Ujungberung - Cibiru - Junction Cileunyi. The Rp8.3 trillion Bandung Inner City Toll Road is estimated to be able to accommodate as many as 45,000 vehicles per day. For information, the construction of the Bandung Inner City Toll Road was stalled for 17 years. The stalled construction of the 27.3-kilometer toll road was due to obstacles in land acquisition. Having stalled for 17 years, the construction of the Bandung Inner City Toll Road was then resumed in 2024. In fact, the Bandung Inner City Toll Road or Bandung Intra Urban Toll Road (BIUTR) is said to have been included in one of the National Strategic Projects (PSN). Reporting from the jabarprov.go.id page, Basuki Hadimuljono as the Minister of PUPR revealed that the PUPR Ministry is committed to accelerating the implementation of this toll road construction in 2024.

The Right Steps for Long-Term Stock Investment for Beginners

The ever-changing dynamics of the global economy require individuals to develop a deeper understanding of asset management. Amid rising inflation that can gradually erode the value of conventional currencies, investment instruments become a crucial solution for preserving purchasing power in the future. Long-term stock investment stands out as one of the most rational choices for individuals who aim to build sustainable wealth by participating in the ownership of productive and innovative companies. Understanding the mechanisms of the capital market is a fundamental first step before allocating funds to risk-bearing assets. In principle, the growth of stock prices is driven by the performance of companies and macroeconomic conditions that support overall business stability. Beginner investors must recognize that daily price fluctuations are a natural part of the market ecosystem. However, over a longer time horizon, economic growth trends are generally reflected in the appreciation of high-quality stocks. One of the greatest advantages of long-term investing lies in the concept of compound interest, which allows profits to be reinvested and generate even greater returns over time. In today's digital economy, access to information and the convenience of trading through online brokerage platforms have significantly lowered the barriers to entry for the general public. This development enables investors to diversify their portfolios more efficiently while mitigating potential risks in both global and domestic capital markets. Selecting stocks with strong fundamentals is a key pillar in building a resilient investment portfolio. Investors are encouraged to focus on companies with consistent earnings records, professional management, and business models that remain relevant to modern economic developments. By carefully analyzing financial statements, investors can identify a company's intrinsic value and avoid speculative traps that often lead to short-term losses. Sector diversification is another smart strategy to protect investment value from shocks affecting a particular industry. Allocating capital across various sectors such as banking, consumer goods, and technology can provide balance when one sector experiences contraction due to fiscal or monetary policy changes. This approach ensures that the overall growth of a portfolio does not rely solely on a single entity but is supported by multiple engines of economic growth. Maintaining discipline through regular investment, commonly known as the dollar cost averaging method, is highly effective in dealing with volatile market conditions. By setting aside a portion of income periodically without being influenced by emotional market sentiment, investors can obtain a more competitive average purchase price over time. This method is particularly suitable for beginners because it helps minimize the risk of mistiming market entry during periods of uncertainty.[source]

Rice, Cilembu Sweet Potatoes, and Gedong Gincu Mangoes Become Investment Magnets in Sumedang

Bisnis.com, BANDUNG-- The agricultural sector is one of the major potentials of Sumedang Regency. This is evidenced by the inclusion of the Circular Economy-Based Organic Agriculture Integration project in the top 10 priority investment projects of the West Java Investment Challenge (WJIC) 2025. Sumedang Regent Dony Ahmad Munir acknowledged that his region has great potential in this sector. Therefore, this sector continues to be strengthened to improve the welfare of its people, the majority of whom earn their livelihood within this ecosystem. “Sumedang is rich in food products, and the majority of its people work as farmers,” he said. Dony said that agricultural products from Sumedang are already well-known nationally. These include rice, Cilembu sweet potatoes, gedong gincu mangoes, and tobacco, which grows abundantly in the area known as Kota Tahu. According to him, this also presents an investment opportunity to maximize this potential. Of course, with the increase in this investment sector, there will be a direct correlation with the community's involvement in these economic activities. He acknowledged that despite its great potential, farmers must understand the integrated agricultural system. This way, in addition to quality, quantity can also be achieved. “The challenge is the sustainability of the supply of superior products from Sumedang, so there must be simultaneous production circulation so that demand can continue to be met,” he explained. He gave an example of the gedong gincu mango, a superior product of farmers from Buahdua, Ujungjaya to Tomo, which is in high demand by foreign consumers. However, the planting and warehousing cycles must be modernized so that production volume can be optimized. In addition, there is also Cilembu sweet potato, which has entered many global markets. However, in terms of stock availability, it must be increased again. The Sumedang Regency Government, he added, has been regularly allocating budgets to support the agricultural sector. This includes providing agricultural machinery, revitalizing irrigation systems, and improving farm roads. “The hope is that Sumedang can fully support the central government's food self-sufficiency program,” he emphasized.
