West Java Leads Investment Realization in Q4 2025, Here Are the Reasons

Mar, 09 2026

West Java became the province with the highest investment realization in the fourth quarter of 2025, reaching IDR 78.7 trillion. This performance was strongly supported by investment in the manufacturing sector, which is concentrated in industrial areas such as Bekasi, Subang, Karawang, and Purwakarta.

The Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Roeslani, stated that West Java remains a leading destination for manufacturing investment, particularly in the paper and printing industries as well as the motor vehicle industry. In addition, several foreign manufacturing projects are still ongoing and continue to support the region’s investment realization.

“There are manufacturing projects still running from Vietnam and also from China,” Rosan said on Thursday (January 15, 2026).

Nationally, Rosan explained that investment realization in the fourth quarter of 2025 reached IDR 496.9 trillion, increasing by 9.7 percent compared to the same period in 2024, which recorded IDR 452.8 trillion. This value represents approximately 26.1 percent of the 2025 investment target of IDR 1,905.6 trillion.

In terms of employment absorption, investment during this quarter created jobs for 754,186 people, an increase of nearly 30 percent. Foreign direct investment (FDI) reached IDR 256.3 trillion or 51.6 percent, while domestic investment (DDI) reached IDR 240.6 trillion or 48.4 percent.

“The difference is not very large, but foreign investment is indeed slightly higher than domestic investment,” Rosan said.

Although the value of FDI was higher, Rosan emphasized that the growth rate of domestic investment was actually stronger. FDI growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 was recorded at 4.3 percent, while domestic investment grew by 16.2 percent. According to Rosan, this condition is closely related to the government’s efforts to maintain political and economic stability while improving the investment climate toward the end of 2025.

“This has been positively responded to by investors,” he said.

Rosan also noted that investment realization in Java Island reached IDR 247.5 trillion or 49.8 percent, slightly lower than outside Java, which reached IDR 249.4 trillion. After West Java, the provinces with the largest investment realization in the fourth quarter of 2025 were DKI Jakarta with IDR 66.8 trillion, East Java with IDR 40 trillion, Banten with IDR 38.6 trillion, and Central Sulawesi with IDR 29.6 trillion.

Acting Governor of West Java, Bey Machmudin inaugurated the Solar Power Plant (PLTS) – Nugraha Jaya Multipurpose Cooperative Biogas located at Cipari Village, Cigugur District, Thursday (18/07/2024). PLTS – Biogas is the work of the Bandung Institute of Technology which was handed over to KSU Nugraha Jaya. Accompanying the Acting Governor, the Acting Regent of Kuningan, Raden Iip Hidajat who accompanied him from the coaching event with Kuningan Regency Government officials in the pavilion. The visit from the number one person in West Java stated that the presence of PLTS - Biogas was a concrete step for West Java in utilizing new and renewable energy sources (EBT). "The benefits of PLTS - Biogas include that the beneficiaries can calculate managed cow dung and reduce river pollution due to cow dung by up to 657 tons per year," said Bey. Bey Machmudin also mentioned other benefits, namely estimating a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 848.65 CO2eq (carbon dioxide equivalent) per year. "Then, it is estimated that the savings obtained by farmers by using PLTS (conversion of price per kWh PLN) is IDR 94,555,440 per year," explained Bey. Another benefit, said Bey, is that he can estimate the savings obtained by farmers by using biogas (conversion from the price of 3 kg LPG) of IDR 17,730,240 per year. The presence of PLTS – Biogas can bring benefits by processing animal waste into biogas which really prioritizes the principle of zero waste. "The West Java Provincial Government really supports efforts like this, and it can be emulated in other regions," said Bey Machmudin. Once in Kuningan, the West Java Provincial Government through the West Java Energy and Mineral Resources Service will prepare a similar PLTS – Biogas in Bandung Regency. "In Bandung Regency there will also be construction, yes, not only cow dung but goat dung will be researched first, then it can be developed," said Bey. The KSU Nugeraha Jaya PLTS operation is used to process cattle feed concentrate consisting of various types and food ingredients. Meanwhile, the animal waste produced is processed to produce bio gas which is an alternative to LPG. It is known that cow's milk from the KSU Nugraha Jaya farm is one of the best milk contributors in West Java (apart from other cow farming cooperatives in the Kuningan area). The milk produced is used as a raw material source for UHT packaged milk for national scale companies. SOURCE

"This commitment is a breath of fresh air for business actors who have been facing disruptions from mass organizations, both in industrial areas and industries outside the area," he said, Thursday (27/2/2025). The Head of APINDO Jabar believes that Dedi Mulyadi's commitment to members of thugs and mass organizations that hinder the business world will have a positive impact on the investment climate in West Java, especially the guarantee of security in its efforts. So that it can increase investor confidence to invest in West Java. Security in business will protect investment in West Java, which also means protecting employees to continue working and avoid potential layoffs (PHK), as well as protecting the community around the company that has a business as a multiplier effect from the investment. Ning said that currently West Java has 1.76 million unemployed or 23.7 percent of the national and is the highest in Indonesia. Therefore, it is important to ensure that no more workers become victims of layoffs due to the departure of investment from West Java. On the contrary, efforts are needed to create more new jobs by improving the investment climate, one of which is through guarantees of business security. (SOURCE)

Taufik Nurrohim Says Not All Areas in West Java Can Become Investment Zones

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG – Member of Commission III of West Java Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), Taufik Nurrohim, stated that not all areas in West Java Province can be designated as industrial zones. Taufik explained that some regencies/cities in West Java serve conservation purposes and have infrastructure that is not supportive of becoming investment zones. "In the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW), it is clear that not all areas in West Java are industrial zones. Some areas are conservation zones, and regarding infrastructure, not all regions in West Java are ready with connectivity to support investment," said Taufik Nurrohim on Saturday, June 28, 2025. However, he noted that in the past 10 years, West Java has remained the region with the highest investment in Indonesia. "The realization in 2024 was Rp174 trillion with 74 domestic investment projects and 100 foreign investment projects. In the first quarter of 2025, it reached Rp68.5 trillion, which is an extraordinary figure," he said. Nonetheless, the high investment in West Java has not been distributed across all regencies/cities in the province. The uneven distribution of investment has impacted economic inequality among the regencies/cities in West Java. "Even though West Java has the highest investment, the distribution so far has only been in five regencies/cities, namely Bogor, Bekasi, Karawang, and Bandung, which results in uneven economic conditions in West Java," he said. He explained that the high rates of poverty or unemployment in certain areas are influenced by job availability and investment itself. "There is a correlation between investment and unemployment; they do not stand alone. Therefore, if we want to solve development issues in West Java, one solution is to equalize investment distribution," Taufik concluded. [SOURCE]
