West Java Investment Realization Reaches IDR 296.8 Trillion, Focus on Maintaining Investment Climate in 2026

Mar, 09 2026

The West Java Provincial Government is working to maintain a conducive investment climate in 2026 following the record-high investment realization achieved in 2025. Based on data from the Indonesian Ministry of Investment/BKPM, West Java’s investment realization in 2025 reached IDR 296.8 trillion, exceeding the national target of IDR 271 trillion.

This achievement also surpassed the target set in the West Java Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) of IDR 263 trillion. With this result, West Java ranked first as the province with the largest investment realization in Indonesia.

The Head of the West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (DPMPTSP), Dedi Taufik, stated that this achievement proves that West Java remains an attractive destination for investors, both domestic and foreign.

“We are grateful that West Java continues to attract investment, both FDI and domestic investment. We are the highest contributor to national investment which was targeted at 271 trillion. But in our RPJMD the target was 263 trillion and we have already reached 296.8 trillion from both FDI and domestic investment,” said Dedi during an interview on Wednesday (January 21, 2026).

Nationally, Indonesia’s total investment realization in 2025 reached approximately IDR 1,921 trillion. West Java became the largest contributor, followed by DKI Jakarta, East Java, Banten, and Central Sulawesi.

The investment structure in West Java during 2025 was relatively balanced. Domestic investment (PMDN) reached IDR 149.8 trillion or 50.5 percent, while foreign direct investment (PMA) reached IDR 146.9 trillion or 49.5 percent.

In terms of regional distribution, investment realization remained concentrated in major industrial areas. The five regions with the highest investment realization were Bekasi Regency with IDR 81.8 trillion, Karawang Regency with IDR 70.7 trillion, Bogor Regency with IDR 32.4 trillion, Subang Regency with IDR 18.2 trillion, and Purwakarta Regency with IDR 12.4 trillion.

Despite the positive performance, Dedi emphasized that the main challenge for 2026 is ensuring that the investment climate in West Java does not decline.

“We must take the right measures in 2026 so that the investment climate in West Java does not deteriorate,” he stressed.

According to Dedi, one of the strategic steps is providing investment direction certainty for potential investors through medium-term planning.

“That is why related agencies must inform investors about the investment direction for the next two to five years in the RPJMD, including what sectors will support it. I am implementing a regional thematic investment approach in West Java,” he said.

This approach aligns with the central government’s policy, including strengthening the Bodebekkarpur area (Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, Karawang, Purwakarta) as a single investment corridor supported by strong infrastructure connectivity.

“Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, Karawang, and Purwakarta form one corridor, especially with the connected infrastructure,” he explained.

He also outlined several priority areas that will become future investment focuses, such as the Lido Special Economic Zone (KEK) in Bogor, development areas in Nambo and Cibinong, Transit Oriented Development (TOD) areas in Depok, and the continued dominance of Bekasi and Karawang as the main investment engines of West Java.

“Bekasi shows the strongest investment trend in West Java, followed by Karawang with the highest investment realization. In the future Subang will develop with Subang Smartpolitan and Patimban. After Subang, other regions such as Purwakarta, Bogor, and even Bandung City will follow. These are the areas we must focus on in 2026,” he explained.

Dedi emphasized that the achievement of IDR 296.8 trillion in investment realization was the result of collaboration among various stakeholders.

“Reaching 296.8 trillion is the result of multi-party cooperation in West Java, including the community, business actors, and investors,” he said.

Going forward, the direction of investment in West Java will also be oriented toward more capital-intensive and globally competitive sectors, while still considering environmental aspects. He added that spatial planning, environmental factors, water availability, and security are basic requirements that must be ensured before investment enters the region.

“From the environmental side, spatial planning and water availability to support industry must be clearly informed to investors. Security is also important, and we involve the police to address illegal levies and thuggery,” he said.

Dedi stated that this cross-sector collaboration is part of West Java’s investment transformation aimed at improving community welfare.

“With investment, we want to reduce the open unemployment rate, ensure environmental sustainability, and strengthen global competitiveness,” he said.

He also highlighted the opportunity for foreign investors, particularly from China and Taiwan, who are beginning to shift their investments due to trade policies from the United States.

“Investors from China and Taiwan are shifting due to Trump’s policies. Instead of paying a 35 percent tax to the United States, they prefer to invest here. Therefore we must prepare our investment framework, regulations, incentives, and investment facilities, including Minister of Investment Regulation Number 5 of 2025,” he concluded.

BP Taskin: Kuningan is an example of green investment that empowers the poor

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Head of the Poverty Eradication Agency (BP Taskin) Budiman Sudjatmiko named Kuningan Regency, West Java, as one of the regions that has successfully empowered the poor through green investment. According to him, although Kuningan Regency has the second-highest poverty rate in West Java, the region has received recognition from the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) for having the lowest rate of land conversion from agricultural to non-agricultural use. "This is a paradox: while the community has not been lifted out of poverty, the environment has been saved, and that is actually what is interesting. The Regent of Kuningan has a vision of only accepting green investment, investment that does not damage the environment and is very minimal, so that investment is only in food and must be green. That is an interesting finding," he said in a discussion in Jakarta on Wednesday night. He cited several examples of investments that Kuningan Regency could utilize, such as carbon trading, organic farming, or other investments that do not damage the environment while still utilizing technology. Budiman also said that, on average, regional heads who had held hearings with BP Taskin had succeeded in moving away from the paradigm of alleviating poverty by reducing the burden of expenditure on the poor through direct cash assistance (BLT). This does not mean that BLT has been eliminated, but rather that they have realized that BLT is not enough, he said. They have accepted the approach offered, which is to promote industrialization that liberates the poor. “So the approach is no longer affirmation, advocacy, or protection through BLT, social assistance, and so on, but rather they agree with our approach, industrialization that liberates the poor,” he said. He emphasized that BP Taskin has been offering an approach to poverty alleviation through data by name and address, investment, and collaboration. They agreed that poverty alleviation means encouraging investment with the aim of getting the poor to work or become entrepreneurs, not investment that simply displaces people or damages the environment. “But there are conditions, namely that poor areas must receive investment capital, or the poor must work and become part of the business chain,” he explained. Then, the next investment condition being promoted by BP Taskin is poverty alleviation through inclusive growth, which empowers the poor to work together to collaborate in order to escape poverty. “The approach BP Taskin will take, which we call poverty alleviation through inclusive growth, means growing through inclusive economic activities together,” he said.

Bekasi Regency's 2026 Investment Target is IDR 73.2 Trillion

RADARBEKASI.ID, BEKASI – The 2026 investment target in Bekasi Regency has been set at IDR 73.275 trillion. This figure represents an increase of IDR 725 billion, or approximately 1 percent, compared to the 2025 target of IDR 72.55 trillion. The Acting Head of the Bekasi Regency Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), Juanda Rahmat, stated that his agency will focus efforts on improving service quality to achieve this investment target. "We are focused on providing integrated services for investors interested in investing in Bekasi Regency. The goal is, of course, to stimulate regional economic growth," Juanda told Radar Bekasi on Tuesday (January 13). Juanda explained that Bekasi Regency's investment realization throughout 2025 is currently being calculated by the Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). It is expected to be announced at the end of January 2026. However, based on data as of the third quarter of 2025, investment realization in Bekasi Regency has reached IDR 61,786,980,862,104. This is broken down by Foreign Direct Investment (PMA) of IDR 37,909,246,534,855 and Domestic Direct Investment (PMDN) of IDR 23,877,734,327,249. In terms of labor absorption, PMA investment absorbed 25,919 workers, while PMDN absorbed 29,261 workers. With this achievement, Bekasi Regency ranks first among districts/cities in West Java for investment realization. Next comes Karawang Regency with an investment value of IDR 46,961,865,752,488, followed by Bogor Regency with IDR 25,887,557,413,908. "In the third quarter of data collection, it was still the highest," he said. This achievement demonstrates that Bekasi Regency remains very attractive as an investment destination, both for domestic and foreign investors. A conducive business climate, infrastructure support, and accelerated licensing services are key factors supporting investment. Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Bekasi Regency Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), Ade Sukron, assessed that high investment growth needs to be accompanied by increased employment for the local community. He highlighted the launch of the One-Stop Service application, an integrated digital system that combines licensing and non-licensing services on one platform. The application is expected to provide optimal service to businesses. "When the local government provides optimal service, we will encourage coordination with the Manpower Office so that incoming investment can create jobs for the people of Bekasi Regency. This way, investment will grow and people will also find jobs to achieve a decent life," he said. [SOURCE]

Provincial Government Encourages Investment in West Java to Impact the Welfare of Citizens

Jakarta - Regional Secretary of West Java Province (Sekdaprov Jabar) Herman Suryatman encourages investment in West Java to have a direct impact on the welfare of citizens. Herman also hopes that the absorption of investment in West Java can improve human development indicators in West Java. The indicators in question include the unemployment rate, social inequality (gini ratio) to poverty alleviation. "This morning we are consolidating ourselves so that the performance of the West Java Province Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services (DPMPTSP) Office, which is already cool, can be even cooler. One thing we will create is how investment has an impact on improving people's welfare," said Herman, in a written statement, Monday (10/6/2024). West Java Province is a prima donna for companies both Foreign Investment (PMA) and Domestic Investment (PMDN) to successively rank first nationally because West Java investment realization consistently exceeds the target set by the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). This was conveyed by him after the morning roll call and meeting with the ranks of DPMPTSP in Bandung City, Monday (10/6/2024). Basically, Herman acknowledged that West Java licensing and investment services are among the best in the country. So again he emphasized that it could have a direct impact on the welfare of the community. "We can reduce unemployment, the Gini index, as well as poverty with the tools of licensing and investment," said Herman. Another thing that Herman wants to strive for, namely encouraging the ease of business licenses for West Java residents who have micro and super micro businesses. "Wait for the play date. We will help, of course together with the city district," said Herman. Head of DPMPTSP Jabar Nining Yuliastiani stated that her party was ready to answer the challenge. He is also committed to the welfare of the community that Herman targets can be realized through inclusive and sustainable investment. "We will realize the welfare of the community with inclusive and sustainable investment," she concluded. (SOURCE)

Optimistic that Investment Reaches IDR 1,650 Trillion, Can Control 61 Percent of Freeport Shares

DAILY DISWAY - Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board Bahlil Lahadalia is confident that the 2024 presidential election will be held in one round. That's why he also believes that the conducive political situation will enable Indonesian investment this year to reach the target of IDR 1,650 trillion. So, Indonesia can achieve economic growth of above 5 percent. "Hopefully what the KPU decides can only last one round. "Because we see that the difference is very large, but we are waiting for the KPU's decision," said Bahlil at the 2024 Post-Election Investment Prospects press conference at his office, Monday, March 18 2024. Of the total investment target, Bahlil detailed that Foreign Direct Investment (PMA) remains the same as last year. Namely a minimum of 52 percent. This is because the global economy has not yet recovered and stabilized. Moreover, the current geopolitical situation is still characterized by tension in the Middle East. Also Ukraine and Russia where there are still no signs of recovery. So, many countries are already experiencing a recession. Bahlil reported that investment realization from January to December 2023 reached IDR 1,418.9 trillion. This figure was recorded as 101.3 percent of the target set at IDR 1,400 trillion. The investment realization achievement consisted of PMA of IDR 744 trillion or 52.4 percent of the target. Then, another 47.6 percent was Domestic Investment (PMDN) or IDR 674.9 trillion. And the largest investment realization occurred outside Java with achievements reaching IDR 730.8 trillion or 51.5 percent of the target. Meanwhile, realization on the island of Java was recorded at 48.5 percent or reaching IDR 688.1 trillion. Of this total investment, it has absorbed 1.8 million Indonesian Workers (TKI). Bahlil also resolved stalled investments. Namely IDR 558.7 trillion or around 78.9 percent of the total IDR 708 trillion. The remaining amount, amounting to IDR 149.3 trillion, said Bahlil, was difficult to complete due to a number of obstacles."We can no longer make improvements. This is because it can no longer be executed, due to the companies experiencing internal difficulties," he said. Furthermore, he explained various positive developments in the realization of other investments. Among them is the PT Lotte Chemical Indonesia factory in Cilegon with an investment of IDR 59.4 trillion. This investment is the result of completion of stalled investment since 2016. Now the progress of investment realization has reached 85 percent. It is estimated that production will start this year. The resulting products will be import substitutes. The composition is 70 percent for domestic needs and 30 percent for exports. Bahlil then emphasized that his party was accelerating the revision of Government Regulation (PP) number 96 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Mineral and Coal Mining Business Activities. If the regulations are complete, Bahlil said, the government will increase its shares in PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) by 10%. From the previous 51% to 61%. The revision of PP 96 was brought to a Limited Meeting (Ratas) with the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo some time ago. With this revision, said Bahlil, there will be adjustments and acceleration in the framework of sustainable investment. "If that happens and the potential for additional Freeport shares in Indonesia becomes 61 percent, it means that Freeport no longer belongs to someone else, but already belongs to us," he said. Under the current regulations, a new contract extension can be submitted no sooner than 5 years before the contract ends. And no later than 1 year before the contract ends. "We changed it because it is integrated with the smelter," he explained. Apart from that reason, specifically for PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI), for example, applications for contract extensions can be made immediately. Remembering that there must be certainty regarding investment. Especially for carrying out production at the company's mines. "In 2035, Freeport's production will start to decline, while we will explore underground for at least 10 years," continued Bahlil. So, he said, if we start thinking about extending it until 2035, there will be a vacuum of approximately 5-10 years. (SOURCE)
