The Directorate of Textile, Leather, and Footwear Industry of the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) noted that throughout January-March 2025, it had issued Business Certificates (SKU) for four textile and apparel industries. The total investment reached IDR 304.43 billion, which is estimated to absorb 1,907 workers. The textile, apparel, and footwear industry continues to show positive performance, in line with its role as a priority sector in the 2025–2045 National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN). The government is committed to encouraging the growth of this industry in order to strengthen national competitiveness and create extensive employment opportunities. The latest data shows that in 2024, the growth of the textile, apparel, and leather and leather goods industries reached 0.09 percent, 5.78 percent, and 6.83 percent, respectively. This solid performance is also supported by a significant increase in investment, both from Foreign Investors (PMA) and Domestic Investors (PMDN). In 2023, total investment in this sector will reach IDR 29.92 trillion, while in 2024 it will increase sharply by 31.1 percent to IDR 39.21 trillion. "This increase in investment reflects investor confidence in the prospects of the textile, apparel, and footwear industry in Indonesia. Especially in the apparel industry, which is a labor-intensive industry, investment has increased drastically from IDR 4.53 trillion in 2023 to IDR 10.20 trillion in 2024, an increase of 124.9 percent," said Director of the Textile, Leather, and Footwear Industry, Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) Rizky Aditya Wijaya in his statement, Monday (17/3). With Indonesia's large population, reaching 281.6 million people (BPS, 2024), the prospects for the textile and footwear industry remain promising. The average per capita expenditure of Indonesians for clothing, footwear, and headgear in the period March 2020–March 2024 reached IDR 35,457 per month. Thus, the potential domestic market is estimated to reach IDR 119.82 trillion. In addition, export opportunities are also increasingly wide open. The new tariff policy implemented by the United States against Canada, Mexico, and the People's Republic of China (PRC) is a strategic momentum for Indonesia to expand its market share in Uncle Sam's country. In 2024, total imports of apparel and footwear from the United States reached USD 138.19 billion, of which the PRC dominated with a value of USD 38.04 billion (29.2 percent). Meanwhile, Indonesia's exports to the United States in the same year reached USD 7.11 billion or around 5.5 percent of total US imports. "Indonesia recorded a growth in apparel and footwear exports to the United States of 7.5 percent from USD 6.61 billion in 2023 to USD 7.11 billion in 2024. With the change in tariff policy in the US, our export opportunities are getting bigger, and this is an opportunity for the national industry to increase competitiveness in the global market," he added. Seeing the great potential in both domestic and international markets, the Ministry of Industry continues to strive to strengthen the textile and footwear industry ecosystem through various strategic policies. Several steps that are being taken include increasing production efficiency, adopting environmentally friendly technology, and supporting the expansion of export markets. With full support from the government and the commitment of industry players, the textile, apparel, and footwear sector in Indonesia is ready to continue to grow, create jobs, and strengthen its position as a major player in the global industrial arena.

Prabowo stated that the 15 megaprojects will be carried out without begging for investment from foreigners. However, the government is still open to opportunities if foreign investors are interested. “We will start without begging for investment from abroad. We will realize Bung Karno's ideals: standing on our own two feet. We will not beg,” he said. "There are those who come from outside, we say, please. You want to enter Indonesia, we are open. But we will not beg. We will rise with our own strength," he added. On the other hand, the government will launch an Indonesian investment management agency called Daya Anagata Nusantara (Danantara) on February 24, 2025. "On February 24, nine days from now, we will launch an Indonesian investment fund that I named Danantara," he added. Investment Value of IDR 2,000 T Finally, Prabowo asked former presidents, Joko Widodo, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), Megawati Soekarnoputri and religious organizations to participate in supervising Danantara because it has state assets. "And we must guard this together. Therefore, I ask all presidents before me to be willing to participate as supervisors in this fund. I also think, if necessary, the NU leadership, Muhammadiyah leadership, perhaps leaders from KWI and some others, also help supervise so that this is the people's money, this is the money of our children and grandchildren," he concluded. Previously, the Indonesian government through the Task Force for the Acceleration of Downstreaming and National Energy Resilience had mapped out a number of downstream projects. These projects will soon be offered to a number of investors.

Most of the PMA PMDN investment projects are also located in the northern part of West Java. DARA | The West Java Provincial Government through the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) has important notes so that the investment climate can remain healthy. Head of DPMPTSP West Java, Dedi Taufik said, since being inaugurated at the end of March, he has conducted analysis and mapping of investment potential. The leading sectors are still in industrial manufacturing, electronic textiles, automotive. Then, the tourism industry, creative economy, agriculture, plantations and fisheries to renewable energy. Infrastructure and property are also included in this category. Then, there is also a mapping of strategic areas such as special economic zones and priority areas. "The results of the analysis that has been carried out, investment regulations and incentives are needed, such as the ease of licensing that already exists, but must be made better. Then, tax incentives for strategic industries," explained Dedi. "Ownership of industrial land must also be facilitated so as not to violate applicable regulations, including the development of supporting infrastructure. Digitalization and smart investment in big cities must be sharpened," he continued. The next job is to create a marketing strategy and investment promotion so that West Java will be even more superior. Efforts to build the image of West Java as a potential area for investment require partnerships and collaboration. Dedi Taufik said that the West Java Provincial Government is targeting investment to reach IDR 270 trillion in order to encourage provincial economic growth of 5.6 percent in 2025. West Java's investment achievement in 2024 amounted to IDR 251.14 trillion, successfully absorbing around 383,000 workers. For this reason, efforts are needed to increase human resource capacity to meet investor needs. West Java's 2024 investment is still the highest nationally. With a total investment of IDR 251.14 trillion, the achievement increased by 19.24 percent from the previous year. Investment realization consists of foreign investment (PMA) of IDR 149.5 trillion and domestic investment (PMDN) of IDR 101.54 trillion. Investment is centered in five districts/cities, four of which are in the northern region with an investment portion of 75 percent of the total investment in West Java. Labor absorption from PMA PMDN investment is relatively spread out. Most PMA PMDN investment projects are also in northern West Java. Another thing that must be the focus is improving the quality of the workforce that is in accordance with the needs of the world of work in various sectors, such as the automotive industry. "Educational syllabus such as in vocational schools must be directed towards the development and needs of industry. So, they are ready to be absorbed, because the needs (of the workforce) requested by investors are also specific," explained Dedi "PMDN (Domestic Investment) must also be maintained, including those that are already running," said Dedi Taufik. The Ciayumajakuning area will also continue to be boosted to become a favorite investment destination in West Java because it has extensive land and complete infrastructure support. [SOURCE]

STRATEGINEWS.id, Jakarta – West Java Governor, Dedi Mulyadi, has shown quick steps or “stepping 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 have proven 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 that are 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 exchange prepared by the West Java Provincial Government. "Later, those who have the skills will just 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. Post-Lebaran, which is usually a transition period after a long holiday, Dedi seems to be using 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 the environment, Dedi also plans to rearrange areas such as Puncak Bogor to prevent disasters and support sustainable tourism. Policies such as banning public transportation on the Puncak route during the Lebaran holiday and evaluating tourism projects such as Eiger Camp show his attention to traffic management and ecosystem preservation, which indirectly impacts the attractiveness of investment 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.

In just 20 minutes, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi demonstrated fast, solution-oriented, and visionary leadership by resolving various investment issues faced by BYD, one of the world's largest electric car and battery manufacturers. His move emphasized that an efficient and responsive bureaucracy can be a major catalyst for regional economic growth. "We do not want investment to be hampered by complicated bureaucracy. Every problem must be resolved quickly and accurately," Dedi Mulyadi emphasized in the meeting. This statement strengthens the West Java Provincial Government's commitment to creating a stable and progressive investment climate through fast, responsive policies that favor the interests of the community and investors. Government Commitment to Ensuring Investment Security and Comfort In a meeting attended by regional officials and stakeholders, Dedi Mulyadi emphasized that the government will protect investment in West Java, not only in terms of security but also comfort. As concrete evidence, the West Java Provincial Government has prepared funds of IDR 40 billion to guarantee the security of investors. "We want to ensure that investment in West Java is not only safe, but also comfortable for local entrepreneurs and workers," said Dedi Mulyadi. In addition, the government also ensures the improvement of supporting infrastructure, including road networks to investment locations, for the smooth operation of the industry. Quick Solution to Infrastructure and Accessibility Constraints One of the main challenges in BYD's investment in Subang is the limited access of toll roads to the Subang Smartpolitan industrial area. Representatives from the area management proposed the construction of temporary access at KM 88 of the Cipali Toll Road to accelerate connectivity to Patimban Port. Dedi Mulyadi immediately took concrete steps by contacting the Ministry of Public Works (PU). In a short time, he requested direct approval from the ministry for the construction of temporary access. The Minister of PU responded positively, and a technical meeting between the local government and the ministry was scheduled for next Monday to accelerate the licensing process and project implementation. "We will ensure that this project runs smoothly, because good connectivity is crucial for industrial growth in West Java," said Dedi Mulyadi. This quick step shows the effectiveness of cross-sector coordination in supporting investment in West Java, proving that the government's commitment to infrastructure and connectivity is not just talk, but real action that can be executed efficiently. Job Opportunities for 18,000 Local Workers BYD's investment in Subang opens up job opportunities for 18,000 workers. To ensure the readiness of the workforce, the provincial and district governments will conduct digital-based workforce data collection in each village, especially around the investment location. In addition, prospective workers will be given military discipline-based training to improve work ethic and professionalism. Governor Dedi Mulyadi emphasized that all training costs will be borne by the provincial and district governments as a form of long-term investment in building a quality workforce. With this approach, it is hoped that the West Java workforce will be able to compete not only at the national level, but also in the global market. Effective Resolution of Land Acquisition Problems Land acquisition problems are often an obstacle in investment development. Dedi Mulyadi emphasized that land acquisition must be carried out directly between land owners and investors, without going through intermediaries or brokers who often cause land prices to skyrocket unreasonably. As a solution, the government offers several options, including relocation to areas that have been prepared with adequate facilities such as housing, access to education, and employment. This approach ensures that affected communities continue to benefit from this investment project without losing their right to economic welfare. West Java: A Competitive Investment Destination The success in resolving various investment obstacles in just 20 minutes is real proof of the effectiveness of Dedi Mulyadi's leadership. "The government must be present as a solution, not an obstacle. If there are investment problems, we must resolve them quickly and appropriately," said Dedi Mulyadi. With firm, proactive policies that favor the interests of the community, West Java is increasingly strengthening its position as a competitive and conducive investment destination. The commitment to providing convenience for investors, accelerating the licensing process, and ensuring the welfare of local workers makes West Java a model for investment management in Indonesia. With well-managed investment, West Java will not only become an industrial destination, but also a center for innovation and sustainable economic growth. With this approach, regional economic growth is expected to be increasingly rapid, creating jobs, and improving the welfare of the community at large. (SOURCE)

LENGKONG, AYOBANDUNG.COM – Governor Dedi Mulyadi is all smiles because the 206.65 km toll road with the largest investment value of IDR 56 trillion will soon be present. With a very large investment value of up to IDR 56 trillion, it is not surprising that this toll road was once included as a PSN (National Strategic Project) during the Jokowi administration. However, the longest toll road connecting West Java and Central Java is no longer included in the National Strategic Project during Prabowo's leadership in 2025. Although its construction is no longer included in the PSN, the government continues to ensure that its progress continues even though there is no more acceleration. The toll road in question is the Getaci Toll Road (Gedebage-Tasikmalaya-Cilacap) which will be built along 206.65 km. Its length, which reaches hundreds of kilometers, makes it predicted to be the longest toll road in Indonesia. In fact, the very large budget reaching IDR 56 trillion has made the government implement a cooperation scheme in order to obtain development support. The construction of the Getaci Toll Road will be carried out in four sections as follows. Section 1 Junction Gedebage-North Garut with a length of 45.20 kilometers Section 2 North Garut-Tasikmalaya 50.32 kilometers Section 3 Tasikmalaya-Patimuan 76.78 kilometers Section 4 Patimuan-Cilacap 34.35 kilometers Previously, the BUMN-Private Consortium PT Jasa Marga Gedebage Cilacap had won the tender for this largest project in Indonesia. Among them are PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk, Partnership PT Daya Mulia Turangga-Gama Group-PT Jasa Sarana, PT Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk, PT PP (Persero) Tbk, to PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk. Unfortunately, the restructuring problem by one of the Toll Road Business Entities (BUJT) from the BUMN Consortium has been postponed, causing the Getaci Toll project to be re-auctioned This is the reason why the government agreed to build the Getaci Toll Road in stages through a re-auction process after failing twice to get investors A cooperation scheme was built between the PUPR Ministry and the Government through Business Entities (KPBU) in order to attract investors so that construction can begin in 2025. The construction of the first section is carried out along 45.20 kilometers and is currently in the land acquisition stage in Garut Regency. A total of IDR 37.14 trillion will be spent for the progress of the construction of this first section. At least, 37 villages in 15 sub-districts in Garut Regency are affected by the construction of the first section of the Getaci Toll Road, here is the list. 1. Kadungora District Hegarsari Village Talagasari Village Mandalasari Village Karangmulya Village Karangtengah Village 2. Leuwigoong District Margacinta Village 3. Garut City District Sukanegla Village Cimuncang Village Kota Kulon Village Margawati Village 4. Leles District Kandang Mukti Village Leles Village Cangkuang Village Margaluyu Village Sukarame Village 5. Karangpawitan District Mekarsari Village Lengkong Jaya Village Jatisari Village Karangmulya Village Suci Village Lebakjaya Village Tanjungsari Village Lebak Agung Village 6.

Considering this, the Regent of Majalengka hopes that the DPRD will immediately hold discussions with the Majalengka Regency Government in overcoming various problems faced. "And hopefully the budget can have an agreement from the Council, Direction also from the Council to be together Whether to later resolve social problems, for economic development as well or capital participation as well," he said. When asked about communication with the Majalengka DPRD, the Regent explained that until now there has been no communication built. "With the Council itself, not yet," he concluded (Defri). [SOURCE]

RADAR BOGOR - West Java Governor, Dedi Mulyadi, admitted that he needed large funds for development sourced from taxes. "There must be rationalization, how we want to build roads, want to build bridges, want to build irrigation, want to build educational facilities, want to build health facilities must use money, where does the money come from?," said Dedi Mulyadi. "What is the source of income for West Java (Jabar) going to rely on? We don't have coal, we don't have gold mines like in other places," continued the former Purwakarta Regent. He further said that the largest income that West Java earns is from factory or industrial investment taxes. Although, said Dedi Mulyadi, there must be governance that must be improved by the central government. "What is the governance? The factory is in Karawang, the factory is in Bekasi, the factory is in Subang, the factory is in Purwakarta, the factory is in Bogor but the PPh 21 falls to the DKI Jakarta Regional Government," said Dedi Mulyadi. "The management of that has to be fixed, why? Because the Tax Office calculates it from its head office," he said. "The smell is here, the money is from Jakarta," continued Dedi Mulyadi. But behind that, he said, if the industry is a chicken, then if you want to have eggs, the formula is to take care of the chicken until it is fat. "It means that we maintain the investment together, do not disturb it," he said. According to him, when the release is not disturbed, when the industry is built, do not disturb it, when the workforce is recruited. Dedi Mulyadi emphasized that the West Java Provincial Government is here to provide guarantees of investment, security, recruitment, adequate resources with guaranteed infrastructure. Dedi Mulyadi admitted that he had started collecting data. "Hey, what do you need for your factory? Roads, I budget for it, what do you need for water? I prepare it, we build connectivity for the water. Although it's a bit difficult, we are here to provide them with a guarantee," he explained. "For what? To compete with Vietnam, China so that they are comfortable, if they are comfortable there will be recruitment," he explained. Dedi Mulyadi further explained that entrepreneurs who build industries will have laborers in the factory, after that the materials absorbed will also be money. "If entrepreneurs feel protected, then we don't need to talk, they also understand what we want," he concluded. (*) [SOURCE]

Bandung City (ANTARA) - The Bandung City Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (DPMPTSP), West Java, recorded that investment realization in the Flower City reached IDR 10.7 trillion in 2024, exceeding the target set at IDR 7.3 trillion. "Of course, this achievement is the result of hard work from our ranks. We do not just sit back and receive reports from companies, but we provide counseling, provide guidance related to reporting, and visit entrepreneurs directly," said Head of Bandung City DPMPTSP Ronny Ahmad Nurudin, in Bandung, Wednesday. Ronny said that the investment of IDR 10.7 trillion was dominated by the transportation, warehouse, and telecommunications sectors, contributing IDR 3.5 trillion. "Bandung City is a service city, so the transportation, warehouse, and telecommunications sectors still dominate. The second is other services, the third is the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, then hotels and restaurants, and the last is the housing, industrial and office areas," he said. He revealed that the realization of domestic investment (PMDN) actually dominated investment in Bandung City by contributing IDR 8.3 trillion, while the foreign investment (PMA) category reached IDR 2.4 trillion. "That's right. Now PMDN is bigger, indicating an increase in domestic investment. Labor absorption is also quite significant. From PMDN, the workforce absorbed is 18,794 people, while from PMA it is 1,820 people," he also said. Ronny said there are several factors that make foreign and domestic investors interested in investing in Bandung City, one of which is the ease of service provided by DPMPTSP for prospective investors.

In addition, he said again, the Bandung City Government has issued two special regional regulations (perda), namely Perda Number 5 of 2022 concerning Spatial Planning and Perda Number 4 of 2022 concerning the Implementation of Investment to make it easier for investors to carry out activities and invest in this Flower City.
