PROJABAR.COM - West Java's economy is showing encouraging performance. As of September 2025, investment realization in the province had reached IDR 218.2 trillion and successfully absorbed 303,469 workers. This achievement further solidifies West Java's position as a driving force for national investment.

West Java Governor, Dedi Mulyadi, commended all levels of local government and industry players for synergizing to create a conducive investment climate. He emphasized his commitment to continue maintaining this climate by simplifying permits, building infrastructure, and ensuring the safety and comfort of investors.

The contribution of investment to job creation is a tangible indicator of success. The employment figure of more than 300,000 people demonstrates the direct impact of economic growth on the community, through the creation of broader job opportunities.

Real Impact on the Workforce and Industrial Sector

This data complements the third quarter report of 2025, which recorded investment realization in West Java at IDR 77.1 trillion, the highest nationally. Significant investment growth, particularly in Domestic Direct Investment (PMDN), which surged 74.33%, has been a key driver of employment.

The manufacturing sector remains a mainstay, not only contributing the largest portion of the regional economic structure but also absorbing a significant number of workers. The information and communications, trade, and real estate sectors also show increasing contributions.

With strong investment realization and its impact on employment, West Java's economy is projected to continue growing sustainably. The Provincial Government will continue to focus on infrastructure development and bureaucratic efficiency to maintain this positive momentum.

South West Java's Potential is Quite Large, Investment is Still Small

PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - Investment in parts of South West Java is still relatively small, even though the potential is quite large. This was expressed by the Head of the West Java Investment and Integrated One-Stop Service Office (DPMPTSP) Nining Yulistiani, when opening the West Java PMPTSP OPD Forum in Bandung City, Tuesday (2/18/2025). According to Nining, regencies/cities that have relatively small investment volumes include Pangandaran Regency, Sukabumi City, Banjar City and Tasikmalaya Regency and Ciamis Regency. "It's not because this area doesn't have the potential for investment, but it has not been optimized, such as in the maritime, plantation and agricultural sectors. The potential is quite large, especially for downstream programs," said Nining. Therefore, through the PMPTSP OPD Forum, Nining hopes that a formula for accelerating investment in West Java in the future, especially in the South West Java area, will be formulated. "This meeting is expected to synchronize work programs in the investment sector. Given the target of achieving national economic growth until 2029 of 8 percent. Investment is a very important component to achieve economic growth of that size. We will continue to encourage the increase in quality and inclusive investment," he said. Director of Downstream Governance of the Ministry of Investment and Downstream, Ahmad Faisal, who was one of the speakers, said that West Java, with its quite large potential, is very likely to become a region that continues to be the number one investment in Indonesia. "Extraordinary, West Java with all its potential, both natural resources and human resources. Indeed, there are some mining materials that West Java does not have, such as nickel, but in the downstream program, the nickel processing plant has the potential to be in West Java, because one of the uses of nickel is in the manufacture of electric vehicle batteries. While the electric vehicle factory is in West Java. Of course, the battery manufacturing plant will be close to the vehicle manufacturing plant," said Faisal. Another speaker from the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI), Firaldi Akbar expressed his commitment to work together with the government to increase investment. "We are together, but it must be concrete, don't stop every program at the MoU. HIPMI is committed to moving the potential that HIPMI has," he said. (Pun) [SOURCE]
