West Java GIPI Chairman Herman Muchtar asks the Bogor Regency Government to encourage the operation of Asep Strawberry Puncak

Dec, 18 2024

KLIKNUSAE.com — Chairman of the Indonesian Tourism Industry Association (GIPI) West Java, Herman Muchtar, encouraged the Bogor Regency Government to provide legal certainty for investment. Primarily, in the tourism sector.

He gave the example of the existence of the peak tourism icon, the former Rindu Alam Restaurant which has now changed to Resto Asep Straberi. If all requirements and obligations (permits) have been fulfilled, then there is no reason not to resume operations. According to him, regulatory clarity and support for investment are the main keys in maintaining a conducive business climate. Especially in the Puncak area, which has long been known as one of the leading tourist destinations in West Java.

"We ask the Bogor Regency Government to provide legal certainty and operational permits for those who have met the requirements. Investors have complied with the applicable regulations. And this is a form of their commitment to regulations. Don't let uncertainty like this hamper the investment climate in the Puncak area," said Herman when contacted by Kliknusae.com, Sunday 15 December 2024.

Herman also reminded that the government's openness to investment could have a significant positive impact. Especially in supporting regional economic growth, creating jobs, and increasing Puncak's tourist attraction.

Herman added that the government must pay attention to the struggles of entrepreneurs in advancing tourism in West Java.

"With so many entrepreneurs wanting to advance their businesses in West Java, this will encourage an increase in Regional Original Income (PAD)," he said.

Early Supervision

Herman added, if the regional government wants to carry out supervision then it must be done from the start.

"Don't let the businessman spend tens of billions of money, he has followed all the licensing rules, once it's finished, he can't open it. That's what we're protesting," said Herman.

“The Puncak area is one of West Java's tourism icons. If there are obstacles in licensing without clear reasons. "This could give a negative impression to other investors who want to invest their capital here," added Herman.

Herman also reminded entrepreneurs to really complete all the requirements for setting up a business.

"We will support what the elected candidate for Governor of West Java, Mr. Dedy Mulyadi, said. He was right in saying that entrepreneurs should not make things difficult," he stressed.

Herman also responded to the requirements for a Certificate of Functional Suitability (LSF) for buildings which were deemed to be completely irrelevant to the conditions existing in the field.

"How is it possible that buildings that have been standing since the "jahiliah" era have to include SLF. Well, if you want to apply it to new buildings," he said. Therefore, support from the regional government is highly anticipated so that investment in the West Java tourism sector can continue to develop optimally.

West Java's Economic Growth to Reach 5.2% in the Third Quarter of 2025

KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. West Java's economic growth rate in the third quarter of 2025 reached 5.20 percent annually, higher than the national economic growth of 5.04 percent. This data was released by the West Java Central Statistics Agency (BPS), which also recorded the province's fifth-highest growth rate in Indonesia, contributing 12.73 percent to national economic growth. West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi explained that during his nine months in office, he has implemented several key policies to support regional economic growth. One of the first steps taken was strengthening inter-regional connectivity through the construction of 666 kilometers of new roads, funded by motor vehicle taxes. "Public mobility can drive economic growth," said Dedi in a written statement received by Kompas.com, Saturday (November 8, 2025). Maintaining the Quality of Infrastructure Development Furthermore, Dedi emphasized the importance of maintaining the quality of infrastructure development, especially roads and irrigation. He emphasized that poor-quality development will only drain the budget. "If the roads deteriorate quickly, the result is that development will be backtracked, backtracked, and backtracked. As a result, we won't have the opportunity to invest more in human resources in the future," he said. Dedi also explained that the policy direction of massive infrastructure spending is balanced with transparency in regional financial management. Since taking office, the former Regent of Purwakarta has routinely published daily updates on the regional cash flow through his personal social media account. According to Dedi, the various steps taken are not only oriented towards physical development, but also towards social and economic development. He ensured that the policies implemented can create a more comfortable investment climate in West Java. Eradicating Thuggery The West Java Provincial Government is also working to eradicate thuggery by establishing a task force and eliminating labor brokering in industry through the Nyari Gawe application. Furthermore, the West Java Provincial Government is also addressing various issues faced by companies seeking to invest in the region. As a result, based on data from the Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), the investment value in West Java in the third quarter of 2025 reached IDR 77.1 trillion, or approximately 15.7 percent of total national investment. "Investment is not just about numbers, but how to provide a real impact on human development in West Java," Dedi emphasized. He added that, along with his entire staff, he will remain focused on implementing development activities for the benefit of the people of West Java. "We consider the various insinuations, sarcasm, and criticism directed at me as medicine to prevent arrogance, to maintain self-awareness, and to consistently fight for the interests of the people," he concluded.

Government Launches Creative Financing Regulation for Infrastructure

JAKARTA - The Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs together with related Ministries / Institutions have launched two regulations related to creative financing for infrastructure development. Both are the Limited Management Rights (HPT) Scheme based on Presidential Regulation Number 66 of 2024 concerning Amendments to Presidential Regulation Number 32 of 2020 and the Management Scheme for Acquisition of Increased Area Value (P3NK) or known as Land Value Capture based on Presidential Regulation Number 79 of 2024. “In order to encourage infrastructure development, the government continues to increase the effectiveness of investment financing through alternative creative financing policies that reduce the burden on the state budget and encourage private participation,” said Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto at the Launching of Creative Financing Regulations for Infrastructure Development, Wednesday (28/08). Airlangga said that the role of the state budget needs to be focused on pushing Indonesia out of the middle-income trap, namely by optimizing the demographic bonus, continuing economic transformation, increasing investment attractiveness and creating more jobs. One of the efforts made to achieve these targets is through increased infrastructure development. Based on the 2025 Draft State Budget, infrastructure development is budgeted at Rp400.3 trillion, especially for education and health infrastructure, connectivity infrastructure, food and energy infrastructure, and the sustainability of the development of the Archipelago's Capital City. “The budget that has been launched is encouraged to support the Advanced Indonesia Vision 2045 in achieving an infrastructure stock ratio of 49% of GDP by 2024,” he said. Attract Private Investment On the same occasion, Plt. Deputy for Coordination of Regional Development and Spatial Planning Susiwijono Moegiarso explained that the HPT scheme, commonly known as asset recycling, is a scheme to optimize State Property (BMN) and assets of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) to obtain funding for financing infrastructure provision. On the other hand, P3NK or known as Land Value Capture is a regional-based funding scheme by utilizing the increase in land value resulting from investment, activities, and government policies in an area. “The policy has two bases of application, namely Tax-Based and Development-Based,” he said. The HPT scheme was first launched by Australia in 2014 and has been successfully implemented in the infrastructure of Melbourne Port and Sydney Airport. In addition, the P3NK scheme has also previously been successfully implemented in several countries such as the UK, Hong Kong and Japan. “Therefore, innovation in financing schemes is very important to ensure the smooth and sustainable development of national infrastructure. Creative financing regulations are formed as a catalyst to attract the necessary private investment,” he said. Susiwijono hopes that by providing legal certainty and attractive incentives, it can encourage active participation of business actors in financing and managing infrastructure projects. “In addition, it is also expected to support the achievement of sustainable development goals by encouraging investment in infrastructure projects that are environmentally friendly and resilient to climate change,” he explained. In addition, for these two Perpres, according to him, several derivative regulations are still needed, so that later in the implementation can really be in accordance with what has been planned and expected together. “Then we will also conduct various discussions and discussions, especially regarding technical matters of implementation so that we can really encourage the implementation of these two financing schemes, both through HPT and P3NK,” Susiwijono concluded.
