TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG – West Java’s economy continues to climb. In the second quarter of 2025, the province’s Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) at current prices reached Rp755.19 trillion, while at constant 2010 prices it stood at Rp459.80 trillion.

The province also recorded solid economic growth. On a year-on-year (y-on-y) basis, West Java grew 5.23 percent, slightly higher than the national growth rate of 5.12 percent. Compared to the previous quarter (quarter-to-quarter/q-to-q), the province’s economy expanded 2.33 percent.

“West Java’s economic performance in Q2-2025 can be summarized as follows: growth of 2.33 percent (q-to-q), 5.23 percent (y-on-y), and 5.11 percent (cumulative-to-cumulative/c-to-c),” said Acting Head of West Java BPS, Darwis Sitorus, at the provincial BPS office on Tuesday (Aug 5, 2025).

In West Java’s GRDP structure, the manufacturing industry remains the largest contributor, accounting for 40.08 percent of the economy. This sector also made the biggest contribution to growth—1.44 percent (y-on-y) and 0.76 percent (q-to-q).

“The largest source of growth in Q2-2025 (q-to-q) by business field was the manufacturing industry,” Darwis explained.

Beyond industry, the “other services” sector posted the highest quarterly growth, jumping 14.88 percent, followed by health services with 10.71 percent growth. This trend highlights West Java’s increasing reliance on the service economy.

From the expenditure side, household consumption remains the main driver of economic growth, contributing 2.90 percent (y-on-y). However, on a quarterly basis, the sharpest rise came from government consumption, which surged 24.59 percent.

“From the expenditure perspective, the component with the largest contribution is household consumption, at 2.90 percent,” Darwis added.

Darwis noted that West Java contributed 22.55 percent to Java Island’s economy, which as a whole grew 5.24 percent in Q2-2025. This places West Java in fourth position in terms of contribution, alongside East Java, and only slightly behind Jakarta and Banten.

For comparison, the highest economic growth on Java Island was recorded in DI Yogyakarta, at 5.49 percent.

Seasonal factors also played a role in driving growth this quarter. Increased economic activity during Eid al-Adha, the Hajj season, and higher mobility from January to June 2025 boosted tourism and trade.

“Hotel occupancy rates grew 8.38 percent (c-to-c). In addition, investment realization in West Java rose sharply, reaching Rp72.5 trillion,” Darwis said.

Indramayu Opens Wide Doors for Investors: Huge Potential in the Agriculture and Fisheries Sector

DISKOMINFO INDRAMAYU – The Indramayu Regency Government continues to strive to explore investment potential that can encourage regional economic growth. This is the main topic in today's West Java Dialogue on TVRI Jabar, with resource person Drs. Acep Suherman as Coordinator of Investment Data and Information Systems for Indramayu Regency, Wednesday (9/10/2024). In the discussion, Acep explained that the current investment climate in Indramayu is very promising. According to Acep, last year investment was hampered because there was no official Regional Spatial Planning (RTRW). However, with the passing of Regional Regulation no. 9 In 2024, potential sectors such as agriculture and fisheries will begin to be eyed by many investors. Indramayu has great potential in the agricultural sector, especially as a national food barn. Agricultural production in this area is recognized as superior nationally. In addition, Indramayu's fisheries sector is known as the largest fish producer in West Java, which further strengthens its attractiveness for investors. “We welcome investors, both from within and outside the country. "We have also prepared supporting infrastructure such as toll roads which will facilitate the flow of goods in and out of Indramayu," said Acep. Apart from that, basic needs such as water and electricity are sufficient, so it can provide comfort for investors who want to invest in Indramayu. However, the challenge currently faced, according to Acep, is marketing regional investment potential to entrepreneurs. For this reason, the Indramayu Regency Government continues to make maximum efforts to use various promotional media to attract more investors. Apart from that, the newly built Public Service Mall (MPP) also simplifies the licensing process, especially for MSMEs, and provides access to information regarding investment potential in Indramayu. In supporting the development of the local workforce, the Indramayu Regency Government collaborates with the Manpower Department (Disnaker) to organize skills training programs. The hope is that graduates of this training can be absorbed by companies in Indramayu. This step is expected to reduce the number of workers who have to look for work outside the region or even abroad. Acep also emphasized the importance of collaboration between investors and local MSMEs. Investors are expected to partner with MSMEs to improve community welfare. "Business actors must pay attention to the environment and surrounding communities, so that the benefits of this development can be felt by all parties," he added. (SOURCE)

West Java DPRD Member, Romli Encourages Local Government to Create an Investor-Friendly Investment Climate

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG - Muhammad Romli, member of Commission III of the West Java DPRD from the PPP party encourages the Provincial and Regency/City Governments in West Java to create an investor-friendly investment climate. Romli said, there are many benefits to be gained from the presence of investors, ranging from employment opportunities to economic improvement in investment areas. "In order to attract investors, the government must make investors comfortable, especially since there will be new toll roads in several areas," said Romli, Wednesday (6/11/2024). According to him, the large number of toll road accesses that have been built should have an impact on improving the economy. "If we look at Jakarta, currently Bogor and Bekasi, but with Cisumdawu and the new toll road, we can attract even more investors," he said. "But, what investment and that is a common thought. So, how can the provincial and regional governments create a friendly investment climate for investors," he added. Based on data, he said, in 2023 the Government is targeting investment entering West Java of around Rp. 188 trillion. "This has exceeded the target of IDR 210 trillion. This year, the target has increased to IDR 250 trillion. This must be monitored until December whether it is achieved or not, but at least there will be an increase in investment from 2023 to 2024," he said. This increase in investment, said Romli, must be directly proportional to labor absorption to reduce unemployment. "If investment increases, it should open up job opportunities, this is what the government must pay attention to. So, in order for those who have invested to continue, a more friendly investment climate must be created," he said. (SOURCE)

West Java Accelerates Investment Drive as Governor Dedi Mulyadi Prioritizes Roads, Ports, and Infrastructure Development

The West Java Provincial Government is accelerating efforts to strengthen the province's investment ecosystem by improving infrastructure connectivity, enhancing the quality of human resources, and encouraging businesses to play a greater role in supporting regional economic growth. The commitment was reaffirmed by West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi during the inauguration of the 2026–2031 Executive Board of the West Java chapter of the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO) in Bandung on Friday (June 26, 2026). Dedi emphasized that the development of industrial estates must be supported by integrated infrastructure with direct access to seaports. According to him, seamless connectivity between toll roads, national roads, provincial roads, and district roads is essential to strengthening the competitiveness of West Java's industrial sector. "We want to connect our entire road network to the ports. If we have industrial estates without supporting port infrastructure, export activities will continue to depend on ports in other provinces. As a result, the value of our products will be recorded as originating from other regions rather than from West Java," Dedi said. In addition to strengthening logistics connectivity, Dedi urged companies operating in West Java to register their Taxpayer Identification Numbers (NPWP) in the province so that regional tax revenues can increase and the economic benefits can be returned to local communities. He noted that businesses have long benefited from various public services and facilities provided by the provincial government, including infrastructure, public services, and security. "Tax contributions should also return to West Java so they can support regional development and improve the welfare of our communities," he stressed. Dedi further emphasized that the economic benefits generated by industrial activities should reach rural communities, ensuring that industrial growth contributes directly to the development of surrounding areas. To support industrial utilities, the provincial government is preparing to develop a raw water supply network for industrial estates to reduce dependence on groundwater extraction. Water demand will be supplied from sources such as the Citarum River and the Jatigede Reservoir. The government is also accelerating the expansion of digital infrastructure to facilitate the transformation of industrial estates into more modern, efficient, and competitive economic zones. In the labor sector, Dedi aims to develop a highly skilled workforce by strengthening vocational education. The provincial government plans to increase the proportion of industrial training relative to classroom-based instruction, particularly during students' final year of study. "Students who have gained practical industrial experience will be better prepared to enter the workforce immediately after graduation, helping to reduce unemployment," he said. Meanwhile, Ning Wahyu Astutik, Chair of the West Java APINDO Executive Board for the 2026–2031 term, stated that the organization would prioritize job creation by attracting more investment despite ongoing global economic challenges. According to Ning, West Java remains one of Indonesia's leading investment destinations due to its large labor force, extensive land availability, and the provincial government's commitment to creating a business-friendly environment. "I want to ensure that employment opportunities continue to grow through new investment in West Java. Despite the ongoing uncertainties in the global economy, West Java remains an attractive destination for investors," she said. The West Java APINDO will also strengthen its organizational network at the regency and municipal levels to become a more effective strategic partner for local governments in promoting regional economic growth and investment. At the same time, Ning acknowledged that businesses continue to face risks stemming from the global economic slowdown, which could potentially lead to workforce reductions. Declining export demand, particularly from the United States and the Middle East, has begun to put pressure on labor-intensive industries such as textiles, garments, and footwear manufacturing. Nevertheless, she expressed confidence that close collaboration between the provincial government and the business community would preserve a favorable investment climate, support existing industries, and attract new investments, allowing West Java to maintain its role as one of Indonesia's primary engines of economic growth.
