Jakarta - The escalating tensions in the Middle East have prompted investors to start flocking to gold commodities. They are shifting their portfolios into gold as a safe-haven asset. KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer said gold is likely to become the commodity of choice for investors amid the Middle East conflict. “Gold is likely to be more sought after than usual when markets open on Monday. Given the risks surrounding how long the conflict may last, which other countries could be drawn in, and inflation concerns, gold is expected to assume its role as the safe-haven asset of choice,” Waterer said, as quoted by Reuters on Monday (March 2, 2026). According to him, stock markets and other risk assets are likely to face heavy selling pressure at the start of the week. “Investors will look for the best place to park their funds, and gold will likely be at the top of that list,” Waterer emphasized. Marex analyst Edward Meir predicted that a surge in gold prices could occur soon as a natural market response to the outbreak of war. He forecast that gold prices could jump by US$200 per troy ounce at the opening of trading early this week. “I think we could open about $200 per ounce higher in gold, but then prices may ease throughout the day,” Edward Meir explained. The key focus for investors is whether oil flows will be disrupted. This will be a crucial factor in determining whether investors fully move into safe-haven assets. Market analyst at City Index and Forex.com, Fawad Razaqzada, projected that gold prices could reach a record level of US$5,600 per troy ounce, or around Rp3 million per gram, amid the war in the Middle East. “There will be increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, which could push prices back up toward US$5,500 and possibly to a new record high above the January peak of around US$5,600,” Razaqzada said. However, gains beyond those levels could be limited by a potential rebound in the US dollar, as well as if crude oil prices remain significantly elevated. [Source]

Cirebon (ANTARA) - The Cirebon Financial Services Authority (OJK) office, West Java, has opened a complaint and consultation service during Ramadan 2026 to anticipate the rise in fraudulent activities disguised as illegal investments, including those linked to an application called MBAstack Limited Company (MBA). The Head of the Cirebon OJK, Agus Muntholib, stated in Cirebon on Thursday that the service aims to ensure the public remains protected while carrying out their activities and observing the fast. He stated that every investment decision must be based on logic, the principle of prudence, and adequate verification of information. "The Cirebon OJK is very concerned about the alleged fraud (using the MBA application). We remind the public not to be easily tempted by promises of large profits in a short time without clear risks," he said. He explained that during Ramadan, people's economic needs typically increase, and this situation is often exploited by irresponsible parties to offer investments with unreasonable returns. According to him, the pattern of illegal investment offers has now transformed through digital platforms and applications, resulting in faster spread and cross-regional reach. Agus mentioned that in a number of cases, artificial intelligence (AI) technology is often used to manipulate presentations and testimonials to make offers appear convincing. "We remind you that legality and business logic must be the primary foundation. Even if the person inviting you is a public figure, the public is still obliged to verify. Trust should not override caution," he said. From January to February 13, 2026, the Cirebon OJK received 266 consultations and complaints from financial services consumers, with the majority of reports coming from the financial technology (fintech) sector, he explained. Of these, he said, 38 complaints related to alleged investment fraud or illegal investments. Agus said that during Ramadan, the public can contact the OJK at 157, WhatsApp at 081-157-157-157, access the official website, or visit the nearest OJK office to verify the legality of an entity and report suspected illegal financial activity. "We remind the public to recognize the characteristics of illegal investments, including promises of guaranteed and unreasonable profits in a short time, use of multi-level recruitment schemes without clear products or services, and lack of permits from the relevant authorities," he said.

jabar.jpnn.com, BOGOR - President Prabowo Subianto invited the American multinational company, General Electric (GE), to increase investment in medical equipment production in Indonesia. Prabowo made the invitation while attending the Gala Iftar Dinner Business Summit in Washington, DC, on Wednesday evening (February 18th) local time. In an audio recording received in Jakarta on Thursday (February 19th), he assessed the opportunities for broader cooperation with the establishment of ten new universities based on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and medicine in Indonesia. "I think there are also opportunities for the United States. I think General Electric is building medical equipment in Indonesia, and we hope they will increase their production," Prabowo said. Addressing the American business community, the President explained that Indonesia still faces a shortage of around 140,000 doctors. Meanwhile, the number of medical graduates each year is only around 10,000. "This means it will take around 14 years to close the gap, unless there are concrete new efforts. That's why I'm creating 10 new universities based on STEM and medicine," he said. Previously, during a state visit to the UK, Prabowo also designed a framework for educational cooperation through the construction of ten new campuses in the fields of medicine and STEM, including a lecturer exchange program with educational institutions in the UK. According to Prabowo, increasing the number of medical campuses and medical graduates will open up opportunities for greater collaboration with global companies, including GE, particularly in the development and production of medical equipment domestically. He also emphasized the government's commitment to supporting the influx of new investment. Prabowo mentioned that several bureaucratic obstacles previously complained about by investors have been resolved. "We will support it. There were bureaucratic obstacles, but we resolved them very quickly. I also received feedback a few hours ago from several corporations complaining about the slow resolution of their problems," Prabowo said. The government hopes that increased investment in the medical device sector will strengthen the independence of the national industry and support the fulfillment of Indonesia's healthcare needs.

lintaspriangan.com, WEST JAVA NEWS. Foreign investment in the Rebana area continues to show a significant surge. By 2025, realized foreign investment in this new metropolitan area of West Java is expected to reach approximately IDR 16 trillion. This figure confirms Rebana as one of the strongest investment magnets in West Java, and even nationally. Data from the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM shows that capital flows into Rebana don't come from just one country. However, there's one major player whose contribution far exceeds that of other countries. Hong Kong Becomes the Ruler of Foreign Investment in Rebana Of the total foreign investment of approximately Rp16.02 trillion, Hong Kong (PRC) emerged as the largest investor, with a value of Rp8.97 trillion. This means that more than half of the total foreign investment in the Rebana Region comes from this single jurisdiction. Apart from Hong Kong, other foreign investors in the top five are: Vietnam: Rp2.96 trillion South Korea: Rp1.46 trillion People's Republic of China: Rp1.41 trillion Singapore: Rp1.22 trillion This composition shows the strong dominance of East Asia and Southeast Asia in shaping the Rebana investment landscape. Why Does Rebana Attract Foreign Investors? The primary attraction for foreign investment in the Rebana area lies in its combination of strategic infrastructure and geographic location. The area encompasses seven regencies/cities—Subang, Majalengka, Sumedang, Indramayu, Kuningan, Cirebon Regency, and Cirebon City—which are directly connected to key logistics hubs. Some key factors that make foreign investors look at Rebana include: Patimban Port in Subang is the backbone of export-import logistics. Kertajati International Airport (BIJB) in Majalengka is the region's air gateway. The Cisumdawu and Cipali Toll Roads accelerate inter-regional connectivity. The Pantura route is the main distribution route for goods in northern West Java. With this infrastructure, Rebana is positioned as a regional and global market-oriented industrial, logistics, and manufacturing hub. Rebana in Regional and Global Value Chain Maps The entry of investors from Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Vietnam, and Singapore strengthens Rebana's position in regional and global value chains. Rebana is no longer simply a local industrial area but part of a cross-border production network. Foreign investors see Rebana as a strategic location for: processing industry, export-based manufacturing, logistics and warehousing, and downstream industrial support sectors. With an industrial area of approximately 43.9 thousand hectares, Rebana offers expansion space that is rarely found in other areas in West Java. Trillions in Investment: What Impact Will It Have on the Regions? On paper, the influx of foreign investment into the Rebana Region promises economic growth, job creation, and increased industrial activity. However, the major challenge is ensuring that the benefits of this investment truly reach the region and local communities. Several socio-economic indicators, such as the Human Development Index (HDI), remain below the West Java average in several areas of Rebana. This means that significant investment has not automatically translated into improved quality of life for residents. This is the main homework for local governments and area managers: ensuring that investment does not just stop at the realization figures, but also has a real impact on: absorption of local labor, improving human resource skills, and regional economic equality. Rebana, West Java's New Economic Engine With realized foreign investment already exceeding IDR 16 trillion, the Rebana area is now at a crucial stage. On the one hand, the area has successfully attracted the trust of global investors. On the other hand, effective management and adherence to regional interests will determine Rebana's future sustainability. If investment can translate into prosperity, Rebana will truly become a new engine of the West Java economy. However, if not, the region risks becoming merely a showcase for trillions of rupiah without any impact at the grassroots level.(HS) [SOURCE]

Bisnis.com, BANDUNG — The West Java Provincial Tourism and Culture Office is boosting the National Tourism Development Index (IPKN), which has plummeted over the past two years. Head of the West Java Culture and Tourism Office, Iendra Sofyan, stated that the IPKN is crucial for revitalizing it as a strategic step to strengthen the competitiveness of the regional tourism ecosystem, as it is a national instrument used to measure the readiness and competitiveness of regional tourism development through various cross-sectoral indicators. "Furthermore, the IPKN also serves as a barometer for the investment climate and the region's image in tourism development," he said, as quoted on Tuesday (August 17, 2026). West Java Province's IPKN in 2022 ranked 7th nationally out of 34 provinces. However, in 2024, West Java's ranking dropped to 21st nationally. In response, the Head of the West Java Tourism and Culture Office emphasized the importance of strengthening synergy and collaboration between Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPDs). "Improving IPKN achievements requires cross-sector collaboration, from providing accurate data, integrated program planning, to implementing policies that have a direct impact on improving the quality and competitiveness of regional tourism," he said. His office is currently encouraging all stakeholders, consisting of 29 relevant agencies/OPDs within the West Java Provincial Government and the West Java tourism industry, to strengthen their shared commitment to supporting sustainable and competitive tourism development, in order to improve West Java's position at the national level. Previously, the Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded a drastic increase in tourist visits to West Java Province in December 2025, a 4.89 percent increase in domestic tourist arrivals compared to the previous month. In December 2025, there were 18.53 million domestic tourist trips. Meanwhile, in November 2025, the number reached only 17.66 million trips. Accumulatedly, the number of domestic tourist trips to West Java also experienced a drastic increase. From January to December 2025, it was recorded at 211.76 million trips. This figure increased by 26.50 percent compared to the total of 167.40 million trips from January to December 2024. Throughout 2025, the highest number of trips occurred in April, with 22.52 million trips. This was due to the Eid al-Fitr holiday of 1446 Hijri. By destination, Bodebek Regency/City and Greater Bandung remain the favorites for domestic tourists. In the January-December 2025 period, Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded 31.85 million domestic tourist trips to Bogor Regency, 24.26 million trips to Bandung City, 14.44 million trips to Bekasi City, 14.24 million trips to Bandung Regency, 13.29 million trips to Bekasi Regency, and 12.16 million trips to Depok City. Furthermore, the Room Occupancy Rate (TPK) of both Star-rated and Non-Star-rated Hotels in West Java also increased in December 2025. Data shows that the ROR for December 2025 reached 45.75 percent, a 4.35-point increase compared to the previous month. Iendra revealed that his office is also collaborating with the Statistics Indonesia (BPS) to collect tourism data, which still faces several challenges. Accurate data can serve as a basis for formulating and evaluating policies. "West Java has 1,741 tourist attractions, consisting of natural attractions, man-made attractions, and cultural attractions. However, the management and recording of tourist visitation data still faces various challenges, particularly in consistent reporting and responsiveness from destination managers, particularly during major holiday periods such as Eid al-Fitr and Christmas-New Year," he concluded.

Cikarang: Property developer PT Panahome Deltamas Indonesia is optimistic about the residential and commercial prospects in the Kota Deltamas area, which is considered to be growing. This includes a new marketing gallery building in early 2026 as part of the Savasa development in Kota Deltamas. Meanwhile, from a macro perspective, eastern Jakarta remains one of the epicenters of regional economic growth. This is supported by the concentration of industrial areas, improved connectivity, stable demand for a productive workforce, and its status as a National Strategic Project. Undeniably, total investment realization in Bekasi Regency reached approximately IDR 61.8 trillion by the third quarter of 2025, making Bekasi the region with the highest investment realization in West Java. At a micro level, the development of Savasa creates an integrated residential ecosystem that integrates residential, educational, and commercial functions. This ecosystem drives increasing demand that adapts to residents' activities while also offering the potential for long-term returns. Going forward, the area will continue to be developed through the provision of supporting facilities, ranging from green areas and thematic parks to strengthening commercial areas such as CO Square and SAVASA Point. All developments are designed to improve the quality of life while strengthening the area's value. "Entering 2026, market demand is now focused not only on residential properties but also on commercial assets capable of generating sustainable income. We are preparing Savasa as an area ready to grow with investors," said Taishi Inagaki, President Director of PT Panahome Deltamas Indonesia, in a written statement on Friday, February 6, 2026. In terms of accessibility, the Savasa area is approximately five minutes from several major toll gates, including Km 37, Km 42, and the Jakarta-Cikampek Selatan Toll Road Km 31. This location is also close to the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train Station. 2026 Area Development In early 2026, the developer positioned CO Square as a flagship commercial product in the Deltamas CBD area. This product features an alfresco shophouse concept with a double-facade design intended to support business activities in the food and beverage, lifestyle retail, and service sectors. Furthermore, development of area facilities is also continuing, including green open spaces, sports fields, and plans to build worship facilities and a themed park. Based on internal company data, rental prices for housing units in the area have reached up to IDR 250 million per year. "This concept is considered relevant to the needs of modern businesses such as F&B, lifestyle retail, and experience-based businesses. From an investment perspective, our new product has several unique selling points," said Inagaki.

"I am confident that with this industrial area, investment realization in 2026 will exceed IDR 12.4 trillion," he said. Meanwhile, PT MPS Director Djatikesumo Subagio considered the construction of the Cipali Toll Road Interchange a visionary step. Its presence is believed to improve inter-regional connectivity and accelerate development in the region. The new toll road access is also expected to create new opportunities for other investors. Furthermore, it will boost productive sectors, such as industry and logistics, which will have easier access. "We view collaboration between the local government and the business world as the key to sustainable, measurable development that provides broad benefits to the community," he said. He hopes that the construction of the Campaka Interchange will not only facilitate transportation flow but also become a driver of economic growth, job creation, and increased regional competitiveness.
