TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG – The Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (DPMPTSP) of West Java continues to demonstrate its commitment to creating a conducive and transparent investment climate aligned with the vision of West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi. Through responsive spatial planning management and investment services, they aim to attract more investors while simultaneously enhancing community welfare. As the head of DPMPTSP West Java, Dedi Taufik bears great responsibility. His schedule is filled with various activities, from strategic meetings to investor engagements. “All these efforts aim to provide fast and direct-impact investment services, as instructed by the Governor,” he said on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. A firm step taken by DPMPTSP West Java was evident when a mining incident involving C-type minerals at Gunung Kuda, Cirebon, resulted in casualties. Dedi Taufik explained that his office, together with the Energy and Mineral Resources Agency (ESDM), revoked permits from three mining companies as a concrete action. “This policy aligns with West Java Governor Regulation Number 11 of 2025 on Controlling Land Conversion. It reflects our commitment to maintaining environmental balance and community safety in disaster-prone areas,” he added. Furthermore, DPMPTSP West Java remains actively communicating with regencies/cities to understand various obstacles, such as delays in issuing environmental documents and challenges in integrating licensing systems. “We are ready to provide technical support to resolve those issues,” emphasized Dedi Taufik. As part of service innovation, the government will establish integrated posts in industrial zones to map problems and offer concrete solutions. In addition, incentives and direct support for investors will be continuously prepared, including the delivery of strategic issues to ministries and related agencies. “When investment is well-managed, its impact is not only physical development but also the improvement of the community’s quality of life,” he explained. Dedi Taufik also emphasized that West Java remains the national investment hotspot. Legal protection and certainty of investment continue to be priorities to maintain the province’s attractiveness. A major target has also been set, aiming for an investment contribution of Rp1,900 trillion in 2024–2025. “In the first quarter of 2025, West Java contributed 14.7 percent of the total national investment realization valued at Rp465.2 trillion. We are optimistic that the target of Rp68.5 trillion for the second quarter will be achieved,” he revealed. Investment realization in the first quarter showed a significant increase. Total investment reached Rp68.54 trillion, spread across 27 regencies/cities in West Java. This also created jobs for 91,082 people. Compared to the same period in 2024, this realization grew by 6.02 percent. “This increase shows that investor confidence in West Java is growing stronger,” said Dedi Taufik. A strategic priority project is the development of the Rebana Metropolitan Area. This region, encompassing Subang, Majalengka, Cirebon, Indramayu, Sumedang, and surrounding areas, is projected to become an integrated center for industry, logistics, and transportation. “We will accelerate leading projects, such as Subang Smartpolitan and the development of Kertajati Airport, following Presidential Regulation Number 87 of 2021,” he said. The Rebana area is beginning to attract global investors, including the Chinese automotive manufacturer BYD, which will build an electric vehicle production facility. “The presence of BYD will bring significant ripple effects, including job absorption and technology transfer for West Java,” he continued. In his direction, Governor Dedi Mulyadi emphasized the importance of well-planned spatial arrangements to support investment. He instructed that investment services should be made faster and less complicated. “Law-abiding businesses must be facilitated, while violations are handled persuasively but firmly,” he said. One highlighted obstacle was the delayed issuance of UKL/UPL environmental permits, postponed for up to two years, resulting in stalled factory openings. “I want the people of Indramayu and Garut to get jobs. Investment must be facilitated,” he added. The Governor also highlighted the importance of integrating industry with education and environment. Industrial areas must include supporting sectors such as hospitality, green open spaces, and tourism without sacrificing agricultural land and local culture. “Good development is development that aligns with community welfare and environmental sustainability,” he emphasized.

STRATEGINEWS.id, Jakarta – West Java Governor, Dedi Mulyadi, has shown a quick step or “step on the gas” in revealing a strategic plan to build the West Java economy after Lebaran 2025. Through his social media uploads, Dedi emphasized the importance of encouraging investment and accelerating the licensing process. “One is to encourage investment to run quickly. The licensing process should not be convoluted, I prove it today that I always provide advocacy,” said Dedi Dedi gave an example of the advocacy carried out in the construction process of the BYD company in Subang, which is expected to absorb between 16,000 and 18,000 workers. As a regional head who has a vision for the future of developing West Java, Dedi is committed to resolving issues related to land acquisition in the Subang industrial area which is hampered by brokering practices "There are only a few issues such as land acquisition in the industrial area in Subang which is still hampered by brokering practices, people enjoy huge profits from land brokering. I will handle and complete that in April," he said. In addition to investment, Dedi also emphasized the importance of post-Eid infrastructure development, which includes roads, irrigation, schools, electricity networks for the poor, and houses for the poor. The total funds needed for this development are estimated to be more than IDR 5 trillion. "This development will certainly have an impact on increasing opportunities for people to work, especially informal sector workers who dominate the economic management system in West Java," he explained. Regarding the recruitment of workers in West Java, Dedi encouraged an online-based job application system so that there would be no more queues of job applicants. According to him, companies that need workers can directly access the job fair prepared by the West Java Provincial Government. "Later, those who have the skills will be called. Then after being accepted, they will take care of the requirements, not taking care of the application requirements that may not be accepted. So that everything will run smoothly," he added. Dedi reminded the importance of creating a conducive environment for entrepreneurs by reducing interference from officials, mass organizations, NGOs, or thugs. To attract investment, he is also committed to providing various investment relief so that investors feel appreciated when investing in West Java. "Because they provide jobs," he said. Take firm action in various sectors Dedi Mulyadi, who was inaugurated on February 20, 2025, immediately took firm action in various sectors. One of his focuses is budget efficiency, such as cutting West Java's APBD spending by IDR 6 trillion the day after his inauguration. The funds from this efficiency were diverted to more useful programs, such as the construction of high school classrooms, the budget for which was increased from IDR 60 billion to IDR 1.2 trillion. This step shows his commitment to strengthening basic infrastructure, which is an important foundation for economic growth. Some of the initial policies and visions that he has conveyed provide an overview of the direction that will be taken to drive the West Java economy. In addition, Dedi emphasized the importance of the agricultural sector as the backbone of the West Java economy. He once expressed his desire for farmers to get decent profits, by encouraging Bulog to buy grain directly from farmers at an ideal price, around IDR 900 thousand per quintal, and building standard warehouses to maintain the quality of rice. After Eid, which is usually a transition period after a long holiday, Dedi seems to be taking advantage of this momentum to strengthen food security and support the productivity of the agricultural sector, which is crucial for the local economy. In terms of spatial planning and environment, Dedi also plans to reorganize areas such as Puncak Bogor to prevent disasters and support sustainable tourism. Policies such as giving public transportation on the Puncak route a holiday during the Eid holiday and evaluating tourism projects such as Eiger Camp show his concern for traffic management and ecosystem preservation, which indirectly impacts investment attractiveness and the regional economy. With the "step on the gas" approach that he has shown since he took office, he is trying to make West Java the locomotive of the Indonesian economy, in line with the support that was conveyed by local entrepreneurs such as TB Nasrul Ibnu HR in September 2024. The next concrete steps are expected to be clearer after he holds a strategic meeting with the ranks of the West Java Provincial Government and his advisors, such as Ignasius Jonan and Susi Pudjiastuti, whom he has collaborated with to accelerate development.

The government's current focus includes increasing budget allocations for the construction of new classrooms, establishing superior schools in each district, and renovating schools that need repair. Character-Based Education with the Pancawaluya Concept: Andhika emphasized the importance of character-based education through the "Kembang Karakter Pancawaluya Pendidikan Istimewa" approach. This concept aims to form a cadre of national leaders who have a national perspective, have a fighting spirit, understand the culture of the archipelago, and are able to compete at the national and international levels. Achievements and Outstanding Alumni: Since its establishment, SMA Taruna Nusantara Magelang has produced many successful graduates in various fields. Its alumni have served as TNI and Polri officers, government officials, doctors, pilots, academics, and professionals in private and state-owned companies. In addition, this school is also known for achieving various national and international achievements in academics, sports, and science and technology. With the presence of the Cimahi Campus, it is hoped that more quality young talents will be born to make Indonesia a superior nation in the future. The establishment of SMA Taruna Nusantara Cimahi Campus is an important milestone in creating a generation that is ready to face global challenges, while maintaining the noble values of the nation.

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG - The West Java Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) remains optimistic that investment value in West Java will continue to increase, even though the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) has experienced a decline. This belief is based on the continued entry of investors into various sectors in West Java, including the construction of a new factory in Purwakarta. This was conveyed by the Chairman of the West Java Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Almer Faiq Rusyidi, at a breaking-of-the-fast event in Bandung City. According to him, fluctuating capital market conditions do not necessarily hinder investment interest, especially in the manufacturing, infrastructure, and creative industry sectors that continue to grow rapidly in this region. "Investors still see West Java as a potential area. One proof is the construction of a new factory in Purwakarta, which shows the business world's confidence in the investment climate here," said Almer. He also emphasized that factors such as continuously improving infrastructure, pro-investment local government policies, and competitive human resources are the main attractions for investors. In addition, digitalization in the economic sector also increases efficiency and ease in investing in West Java. In the future, KADIN Jabar is committed to continuing to collaborate with the government and business actors to create a conducive investment ecosystem. "We will continue to support policies that accelerate investment, so that West Java remains a prime destination for investors, both domestic and foreign," he added. With this positive trend, it is hoped that West Java can continue to be the driving force of national economic growth, while also providing a broader impact on people's welfare. [SOURCE]

POJOKSATU.ID — Bank Indonesia (BI) projects that the West Java economy in 2025 will grow better than in 2024, with a growth target of 4.7% to 5.5% (year on year/yoy). This optimism is supported by the global economic recovery and the strengthening of the domestic economy which is expected to continue. Head of the West Java Bank Indonesia Representative Office, Muhammad Nur, stated that this positive projection was driven by several key factors. One of them is the increase in people's purchasing power along with the increase in the West Java Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP). In addition, private investment is also expected to increase with an investment target of IDR 270 trillion in 2025. "Public optimism and increased private investment are the main driving forces for the West Java economy. We hope that this target can be achieved while maintaining price stability and encouraging new sources of economic growth," said Muhammad Nur when met in Bandung. However, Muhammad Nur emphasized that West Java also faces major challenges, especially related to the transition of national leadership. The central government's policy within the framework of the "Asta Cita" vision promoted by the new government has the potential to affect the flow of funds to the regions, given the increasingly limited fiscal space. "Strong synergy is needed between regional and central governments so that the economic policies taken can have a real impact on the regional economy. In addition, maintaining people's purchasing power, especially the lower middle class, is a priority so that economic recovery can be sustainable," explained Muhammad Nur. Another challenge is the still high dependence on imports and the normalization of the fiscal budget after the 2024 political year. For this reason, West Java is expected to strengthen the processing industry, agriculture, and export sectors by taking advantage of improvements in international trade relations with the United States and European countries. "Efforts to reduce dependence on imports and increase domestic industrial productivity continue to be made. This is important so that the West Java economy remains resilient in the face of global uncertainty," added Muhammad Nur. As part of the vision of "Special West Java 2025-2029" in order to move towards "Most Advanced West Java 2045", Bank Indonesia supports a mix of monetary, macroprudential, and payment system policies to maintain economic stability. "BI is ready to support synergy with all stakeholders in West Java. We hope that economic growth can continue in a sustainable and inclusive manner," concluded Muhammad Nur. With optimism and readiness to face challenges, the West Java economy is expected to grow more solidly in 2025, providing benefits to the wider community and strengthening regional competitiveness at the national and global levels.*** [SOURCE]
