To Strengthen Regional Investment, the Subang Investment Forum Will Present Helmy Yahya

Jun, 12 2026

Helmy Yahya, Head of the Rebana Metropolitan Area Management Agency, will be a keynote speaker at the 2026 Subang Investment Forum (SIF), which will take place on June 24, 2026, at the Oman Sahroni Hall, Subang Regency Government Office.

At the forum, themed "Connecting Investment, Empowering the Local Economy," Helmy Yahya is scheduled to deliver a keynote speech in the Economic and Business Talk session, the main agenda item.

Helmy Yahya's presence is considered strategic given his role in overseeing the development of the Rebana Area, a new metropolitan area in West Java projected to become a center of national economic growth based on industry, logistics, investment, and connectivity.

Subang itself is a key area in the development of Rebana. Strategic infrastructure support, such as Patimban Port, Cipali Toll Road access, railway networks, and industrial estate development, make Subang Regency an increasingly popular investment destination.

Helmy Yahya will discuss investment opportunities, the direction of the Rebana Area's development, and strategies for making the northern region of West Java a new engine of economic growth in Indonesia.

In addition to Helmy Yahya, SIF 2026 will also be attended by Subang Regent Reynaldy Putra Andita BR, Subang Deputy Regent Agus Masykur, local government officials, investors, banks, business actors, academics, and various other stakeholders.

The Head of the Subang Regency DPMPTSP, H. Dikdik Solihin, stated that this forum is a crucial opportunity to connect investors with various business and investment opportunities available in Subang Regency.

In addition to economic and business discussion sessions, the event will also feature business networking, the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU), and awards for companies that consistently submit their Investment Activity Reports (LKPM).

By featuring Helmy Yahya as the keynote speaker, the Subang Regency Government hopes that SIF 2026 will strengthen investor confidence and accelerate investment realization, which will impact job creation and regional economic growth.

Sukabumi City Is Getting More Radiant, Total Investment Increases to Rp739 Billion

SUKABUMI – The trade and services sector remains the main pillar supporting the increase in investment in Sukabumi City. During the first semester of 2025, the recorded investment value reached IDR 131.35 billion, thus increasing the total investment in Sukabumi City to IDR 739.69 billion. Cecep Iskandar, Investment Management Officer at the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) of Sukabumi City, said this achievement shows a positive trend compared to the same period last year. “Alhamdulillah, the investment this year has already reached the target,” Cecep told reporters on Thursday (September 18). According to him, this significant increase is driven by two main factors. First, the increasing number of business actors understanding the importance of business legality. “Second, the addition of the Indonesian Standard Business Field Classification (KBLI) which automatically increases the business capital,” he explained. Cecep considers the achievement remarkable, given that the number of business actors in Sukabumi City is not as many as in other regions. “With relatively few business actors, this significant increase is quite proud,” he said. Not only noting investment numbers, DPMPTSP also reported positive impacts on labor absorption. From January to June 2025, a total of 3,614 workers were absorbed by various business sectors. “As of mid-2025, Sukabumi City has 6,150 active business units. The details consist of 5,220 micro businesses, 878 small businesses, 22 medium businesses, and 30 large companies that continue to contribute to regional economic growth,” he added. He is optimistic that the investment trend will continue to grow until the end of the year. “With business actors’ increasing awareness of licensing, the trade and services sector is believed to still be the main engine driving Sukabumi City’s economic wheel,” he concluded.

BDO Indonesia and West Java Government Sign MoU to Strengthen ESG and Investment Facilitation

BDO Indonesia, one of the world’s largest global networks of public accounting, tax, and advisory firms, has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the West Java Provincial Government. The signing ceremony took place at the West Java Governor’s Office, Gedung Sate in Bandung, marking an important milestone in strengthening collaboration between the public and private sectors to promote the implementation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles while improving investment facilitation and attractiveness in West Java. The event was attended by West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi, Head of the Rebana Metropolitan Management Agency Helmi Yahya, CEO of BDO Indonesia Thano Tanubrata, as well as representatives from the West Java Provincial Government and other regional stakeholders. The presence of these leaders reflects a shared commitment to advancing regional economic transformation through good governance, transparency, and sustainable development principles. Through this partnership, BDO Indonesia will act as a strategic ESG partner for the West Java Provincial Government and companies operating in the region, particularly within the Rebana Metropolitan Area. The collaboration will include ESG capacity building, sustainability strategy development, and the strengthening of corporate governance to align with international standards. In addition to supporting ESG implementation, BDO Indonesia will also assist the provincial government in enhancing the investment climate in West Java. This support includes helping create a more transparent, efficient, and competitive investment ecosystem to attract both domestic and international investors. The partnership is expected to ensure that investment processes in the region become more effective while generating meaningful economic benefits for local communities. In his remarks, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi highlighted that the Rebana Metropolitan Area—covering Cirebon, Subang, Majalengka, and Kuningan is one of the most strategic regions for future economic development. The area is supported by major infrastructure projects such as the Cisumdawu Toll Road, Cipali Toll Road, and Patimban Port, which are expected to serve as new logistics hubs in West Java. “The Rebana area is strategically integrated with major infrastructure. Our vision is to develop it into a new industrial growth center that brings prosperity to the people of West Java while preserving environmental sustainability. Industries must grow rapidly, but environmental balance must always be maintained,” said Dedi Mulyadi. He also emphasized that West Java’s economic development is grounded in Sundanese local wisdom, particularly the philosophy of Silih Asah, Silih Asih, Silih Asuh, which promotes mutual learning, mutual care, and mutual guidance as the foundation for inclusive and sustainable development. Meanwhile, Head of the Rebana Metropolitan Management Agency Helmi Yahya highlighted the importance of global collaboration in attracting high-quality investments to West Java. According to him, partnerships with international institutions such as BDO Indonesia will strengthen investor confidence while improving investment governance standards across the Rebana region and the province as a whole.

Subang Regency Government and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Collaborate to Create Legal Certainty in Investment and Land Management

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, SUBANG - Subang Regent Reynaldy Putra Andita emphasized the importance of collaboration between the central and regional governments in creating legal certainty, especially in investment and land management. He made this statement during a Coordination Meeting on Corruption Prevention through Improved Local Government Governance in Subang District. The event, initiated by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), took place at the Regent's Official Residence in Subang on Thursday (August 28, 2025). This coordination meeting aimed to monitor and evaluate governance in Subang Regency. “We hope that the arrival of the team from the central government to Subang Regency can serve as a mediator for us to find a solution,” said Reynaldy in his speech. He said that his office had deliberately held back a number of decisions related to investment so as not to cause problems in the future. “When I attended a meeting at the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency, I decided to put everything on hold. I asked the ministry to come directly to Subang and see the reality on the ground. I don't want to be known as a regent who forces industry to cause a lot of land use changes,” he said. “We don't want investments to lack a foundation. I want legal certainty so that there will be no more overlaps in the future. I also hope that the regulations issued by the central government will not change, where today everything is allowed but later it is not,” he said. Closing his remarks, he reaffirmed his commitment to better governance in Subang Regency. “We want Subang Regency to be even better in the future in terms of industry and governance. We sincerely hope that concrete coordination will be established to optimize the governance of the Subang Regency local government,” he said. The Head of the KPK Task Force, Arif Nurcahyo, said in his remarks that this agenda is part of efforts to prevent corruption through improving the government system. “Today, we want to conduct monitoring and evaluation related to regional governance, especially in Subang Regency. We hope that we can collaborate together to optimize regional governance. If governance is good, then corruption will gradually disappear as the system improves,” said Arif. Reynaldy also emphasized the importance of legal certainty in investment in Subang Regency. [SOURCE]

The Economic Growth Rate in Bogor City Remains at 5.15 Percent, Investment Given Red Carpet Treatment

RADAR BOGOR – The economic growth rate of Bogor City has not moved far from the 5 percent mark, recording 5.15 percent throughout 2024, slightly above the national and West Java Province averages of 5 percent. While considered stable, this figure is viewed as insufficient to meet the long-term regional economic development targets. Therefore, the Bogor City Government (Pemkot Bogor) emphasizes the need for an extra strategy to push for higher growth. “This is part of the recovery and rebirth process of Bogor City’s economy post-Covid-19,” said Rudy Mashudi, Head of Bogor City Regional Development Planning Agency (Bapperida). According to Rudy, there are four factors influencing the economic growth rate: community consumption, government spending, investment, and exports-imports. On consumption, Rudy hopes that transactions in the community keep moving because the circulation of money among residents is a key pillar of growth. “A good economic condition helps people meet their needs and maintain purchasing power,” Rudy said. Government spending also plays a major role in driving the economy. With efficiency and budget reallocation, the impact of public spending is expected to be more felt. “This is also our way to ensure government spending is targeted appropriately and directly impacts the regional economy,” he explained. Investment is given special attention, with Pemkot Bogor opening wide the doors for outside capital expected to absorb local labor. “We need investment to drive job creation and increase the productivity of Bogor City’s economy,” emphasized Rudy. However, the national economic growth target of 8 percent by 2030 is considered challenging to achieve. Rudy said a phased strategy and extra hard work are needed to approach that figure. “It requires significant and planned efforts to elevate the economy to that level,” he added. He also cited external challenges like the Russia-Ukraine war and Palestine-Israel conflict, which add pressure on the global and national economy. “The global escalation also impacts regions, including Bogor City,” he said. Therefore, Pemkot Bogor aims for a more realistic short-term growth target of nearly 6 percent, expected by the end of 2025. “One way is by continuing to provide ease for investment in Bogor City,” he concluded.

HKI: Accelerating Investment in Industrial Areas is the Responsibility of the Government and Entrepreneurs

jabar.jpnn.com, WEST BANDUNG - The Industrial Area Association (HKI) appreciates the West Java (Jabar) One Stop Investment and Integrated Services Service (DPMPTSP) for inviting industrial area entrepreneurs to sit down together, in order to accelerate investment. It is known that the West Java DPMPTSP continues to make various efforts to increase investment in industrial areas, with low occupancy levels. One of them is by inviting all policy makers and industry players in West Java to sit down together. Through the 2024 Investment Acceleration Forum in Industrial Areas, West Java DPMPTSP wants to invite or collaborate and create sustainable synergy with business actors in industrial areas. This was done to strengthen the investment ecosystem and encourage inclusive and sustainable economic growth. HKI Executive Director Fahmi Sahab said, West Java is a barometer for industrial growth. The reason is, national investment is influenced by the manufacturing industry in West Java. "Climates for improving investment must be seen in the future, so it is very necessary that forums like this be held regularly with the central government, regional governments and the business world," said Fahmi after taking part in the 'Investment Acceleration Forum in Industrial Areas 2024' at Mason Pine , West Bandung Regency, Wednesday (15/5). According to him, accelerating investment in industrial areas is a joint responsibility of both regulators and the business world. Therefore, said Fahmi, it is important to hold a forum with the government and the business world to discuss developments and problems in the field related to investment, such as security, licensing and infrastructure. "Because this industrial area cannot be seen as pure business. This is a form of concern for national economic development which has a multiflier effect on foreign exchange, labor and the environment," he said. "So that problems in industrial areas cannot be left entirely to industrial areas, they must be resolved by the central or regional government, both in terms of software and hardware, both in terms of licensing and infrastructure," continued Fahmi. According to him, assistance from the government will have a huge impact on national economic growth. "Industrial areas are an instrument, a tool for accelerating industry which ultimately leads to national economic growth," he said. (SOURCE)
