How Dedi Mulyadi Secures Investment in West Java

PRFMNEWS - The elected Governor of West Java (Jabar), Dedi Mulyadi said that the West Java Provincial Government (Pemprov) will prepare a way to secure investment in West Java. This is done to protect investors from irresponsible individuals. He conveyed this in a discussion with Bossman Mardigu which was uploaded on the Kang Dedi Mulyadi Channel YouTube channel some time ago. "The provincial government has allocated funds for investment security costs in West Java so that they (investors and employees) feel calm and peaceful," said Dedi Mulyadi. The former Regent of Purwakarta said that this needs to be done to guarantee the security of investors, guarantee that employees are no longer charged any fees, guarantee that infrastructure is available, such as roads, trains, ports, and air (airports/helipads/runways). "I want that, the energy is directed to that and I think it is possible," said Dedi. "Very, very possible," replied Mardigu. Dedi said that one of the problems in West Java today is the large number of individuals who claim to be mass organizations and often ask for fees to take care of land acquisition, take care of factory construction, take care of people who come to work, take care of factory waste, and take care of goods that will enter the factory. "This is from the beginning of the establishment until their production (investors and employees) is disrupted," said Dedi Mulyadi. With special efforts to secure this investment, it is hoped that it will be able to protect investors and employees from individuals who have been disturbing and irresponsible. *** (Abdurrahman Najwan Najmudin/Job Training) (SOURCE)

West Java DPRD Chairman Encourages Development of Rebana Based on Global Investment

The development of economic areas in northern West Java continues to be a focus of the regional government to encourage new economic growth. One of the areas currently being promoted is the Rebana Area, which is projected to become a new industrial and investment center in the province. The Rebana Area covers several strategic regions in West Java, including Subang, Indramayu, Majalengka, Kuningan, Sumedang, Cirebon, and Cirebon City. The region is considered to have a strategic position because it is supported by major infrastructure built by the government, such as Kertajati International Airport and Patimban Port. The Chairman of the West Java DPRD, Buky Wibawa Karya Guna, said that his party has high expectations for the development of the area because it is considered capable of becoming a new economic driver for the people of West Java. Buky conveyed this in a discussion with the Rebana Area Management Agency led by Helmy Yahya as the Chief Executive. Helmy Yahya explained that the Rebana Area has various major potentials that can be maximized, especially with the support of strategic infrastructure already available. He mentioned that the presence of an international airport and a major port is a competitive advantage for the region to attract investment. “God willing, this will become a major development project. We have all the potential, there is Kertajati Airport and also Patimban Port,” said Helmy, Monday, March 16, 2026. According to him, in the future the management of the area is also planned to be developed in the form of a business entity. He said this would make management more flexible and not entirely dependent on the government budget. “If it becomes a business entity it will be easier because it can run business to business and will not become a burden on the government. From there it can also generate non-tax state revenue (PNBP) from the services provided,” said Helmy. Meanwhile, Buky emphasized that the development of the Rebana Area should not only focus on physical development or infrastructure, but must also pay attention to the readiness of human resources in surrounding areas. He assessed that industrial area development must be accompanied by community capacity building programs so that local residents can directly participate and benefit from the development. “As a representative of the DPRD, of course we have high expectations for the development of this area. But the most important thing is to continue paying attention to social aspects. The President has designed the development of the area, so the human resources must also be prepared first through various training and education programs. I want there to be a balance between infrastructure development and the development of community capabilities,” he said. Buky added that the main objective of developing the Rebana Area is to improve the welfare of the people evenly across West Java, especially in the northern region which is considered to still have great potential for development. He also emphasized that the West Java DPRD will continue to support various development programs carried out by both the regional and central governments. “In principle, the West Java DPRD will certainly continue to support various development programs carried out by the government. Because in the end we share the same goal, which is to ensure that development truly brings benefits to the people of West Java,” he stressed. With the support of strategic infrastructure, industrial areas, and pro-investment government policies, the Rebana Area is expected to become a new center of economic growth. This can create opportunities to open wide employment while also increasing the economic competitiveness of West Java at both the national and global levels. [Source]

The Threat of Layoffs in Manufacturing Industry Remains High Despite the Flowing Investment

The country's manufacturing industry is not in good shape. Although the flow of investment in the manufacturing industry is relatively heavy, the trend of layoffs in this sector is also relatively large. Referring to the report of the Ministry of Investment / Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), manufacturing investment realization grew 24.68% year on year (yoy) to IDR 337 trillion in the first semester of 2024. The manufacturing industry contributed 40.6% of the total national investment realization. However, the wave of layoffs continues to occur in the manufacturing industry, especially in the textile and textile products (TPT) sector, which is a labor-intensive sector. The Confederation of Workers Unions of the Archipelago (KSPN) stated that there were 14,500 textile workers who were laid off from the beginning of the year to July 2024. This number has the potential to increase to 15,000 workers given the planned closure of a textile factory in Bandung, West Java in August. Chairperson of the Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) Shinta W. Kamdani stated that the potential for layoffs in the manufacturing industry still exists, especially in labor-intensive export-oriented sectors such as TPT. This sector has experienced tremendous pressure both in terms of market and business cost inflation. “Other manufacturing subsectors have a less risk of layoffs, but there is potential for a prolonged hiring freeze,” he said on Tuesday (30/7). In general, Apindo estimates that the condition of the manufacturing industry will be more challenging until the end of the year. Apart from being triggered by an increase in business operating costs as a side effect of the rupiah exchange rate correction, people's purchasing power has also not stabilized so that market demand has decreased. Not only that, some businesses are also still waiting and seeing for business expansion due to the government transition. SOURCE
