KBRN, Bandung: The performance of the State Budget (APBN) in the West Java region until August 31, 2025, recorded positive and stable results. The Regional Office of the Directorate General of Treasury (DJPb) of West Java Province released the regional APBN surplus achievement of IDR 11.58 trillion, with total revenue reaching IDR 90.11 trillion or 58.53% of the target, and expenditure realization of IDR 78.54 trillion or 64.18% of the ceiling. The Head of the West Java Regional Office of the DJPb, Fahma Sari Fatma, said that state revenue grew by 5.31% year-on-year. This growth was mainly driven by tax revenue, particularly from income tax (PPh), excise, and other taxes. However, several types of taxes, such as PPh Articles 21 and 22 and domestic VAT, experienced a contraction. The decline in domestic VAT was due to a decrease in the contribution of large taxpayers, an increase in refunds, and a decline in public consumption. On the other hand, revenue from the Customs and Excise sector has reached IDR 19.66 trillion or 64.25% of the target, supported by 5.06% growth in excise revenue, including the impact of the policy to relax the 90-day deferral of HT excise payments. The realization of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) also recorded positive performance, namely Rp5.20 trillion or 95.17% of the target, experiencing a growth of 10.50% (yoy). This growth was supported by other PNBP which rose 16.95% and BLU revenue which rose 4.42%. This shows the increasingly optimal utilization of government assets and services to generate revenue. "In terms of state expenditure, by the end of August 2025, Rp78.54 trillion had been realized, or 64.18% of the ceiling of Rp122.36 trillion. Although it shows nominal growth, the annual expenditure of Ministries/Institutions (K/L) experienced a slowdown of 24.16% compared to the previous year, especially in goods and capital expenditure due to budget efficiency policies," said Fahmi, in a press conference on Monday (9/29/2025). However, the performance of transfers to regions and village funds (TKDD) was quite solid. Regional transfers reached Rp49.37 trillion (69.04%) and village funds reached Rp5.59 trillion (88.21%). This was one of the factors driving better state spending compared to the previous year. Overall, TKDD realization reached Rp54.96 trillion or 70.60% of the ceiling. National priority programs also continue to run and have a real impact on the people of West Java. Among them, the Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) has reached 1.37 million beneficiaries in 27 districts/cities. In addition, the FLPP program has reached 38 thousand beneficiaries in 1,576 locations. Other programs such as People's Schools, KUR, UMi, and school revitalization have also shown significant achievements in promoting welfare and human development. From a macroeconomic perspective, West Java's economic growth in the second quarter of 2025 reached 5.23% (yoy) with a GRDP of Rp459.80 trillion. Inflation in August 2025 was recorded at 1.77% (yoy) with a consumer price index (CPI) of 108.79. The city of Sukabumi recorded the highest inflation at 3.54%, while Bandung Regency recorded the lowest at 1.46%. West Java's trade balance in July 2025 also recorded a surplus of USD 2.47 billion, with total exports reaching USD 3.51 billion and imports USD 1.03 billion. Cumulatively from January to July 2025, non-oil and gas trade with the United States recorded a surplus of USD 3.40 billion, while trade with China and Taiwan still experienced a deficit. Although West Java's Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP) declined by 0.53% to 115.61 in August 2025, this was mainly due to falling agricultural commodity prices. However, rice prices actually showed an increase at the milling level. The government continues to monitor these developments to maintain balance. Amid global challenges such as geopolitical conflicts, commodity price fluctuations, and market uncertainty, the government remains committed to maintaining fiscal stability and sustainability. The performance of the state budget in West Java until August 2025 is considered “on track” and will continue to be optimized as a catalyst for economic growth and a foundation in supporting national priority programs.

According to the Head of DPMPTSP West Java, Dedi Taufik, at the WJIR 2025 event in Jakarta, 16 projects in West Java were introduced, 10 of which were flagship projects from regions selected from the West Java Investment Challenge (WIJC) 2025 held in July in Bogor. Meanwhile, the development of the Kertajati Airport area is the main project being prepared by West Java as part of the Rebana Area development. The WJIR 2025 event in Jakarta is a series of events leading up to the WJIS 2025, which will be held in November 2025. Prior to the WJIR 2025 roadshow, the WJIS 2025 event was also held in July in Bogor. The WJIC 2025 event in Bogor determined 10 leading projects proposed by cities/regencies in West Java, and finally 10 projects with a total investment value of Rp 24.67 trillion were selected. Later, the 10 selected projects will be offered to investors at the WJIS 2025 event.

The event was officially opened by the Acting Regent of North Barito, represented by Regional Secretary Drs. Muhlis, who emphasized in his speech the importance of the role of indigenous peoples in supporting sustainable investment. “The local government is committed to continuing to encourage the involvement of indigenous peoples in all economic activities, so that the benefits can be felt directly by the community,” he said. The Chair of the Symposium Committee, Gusti Rahmadijaya, said that this event was born out of collaboration between local youth, social observers, and community leaders who care about the future of North Barito. “We want to ensure that indigenous peoples are not just spectators to the presence of investment in this region. They must be part of the development process, working in synergy with investors, so that the benefits are real for the common good,” said Gusti. The Chairman of PERWABARA, H. Ajidinnor, SH, emphasized that this year's symposium raised the theme “Indigenous Peoples as Important Actors in the World of Investment.” According to him, this theme is relevant to the region's need to maintain a balance between economic development and cultural preservation. “PERWABARA will always support investors who are committed to running their businesses in accordance with regulations. We want to encourage the creation of a healthy investment ecosystem that supports both entrepreneurs and the community,” explained Aji. The Secretary of North Barito, Drs. Muhlis, in his speech emphasized that the government will continue to oversee investment activities so that they are in line with the interests of indigenous peoples. “This symposium is a momentum to align perceptions. We have agreed that in the future, indigenous peoples can increase their role in the local economy, while investors support the community's economy in a sustainable manner,” he said. The symposium produced important recommendations, including encouraging the establishment of a communication forum between investors, the government, and indigenous peoples; strengthening regulations that protect the rights of local communities; and providing skills training so that residents can play an active role in investment projects. This activity is clear evidence that synergy between the government, indigenous peoples, and investors can create inclusive development that respects local wisdom while promoting economic growth.

GARUT NEWS, BOGOR CITY – Garut Regent Abdusy Syakur Amin took advantage of the momentum of the Garut Regency Tourism Promotion and Gathering held by Asgar Jaya at Lake Bogor Raya, Bogor City, on Sunday (September 28, 2025), to invite investors to invest in Garut Regency. In his presentation, Regent Syakur mentioned that Garut's Human Development Index (HDI) still ranks 25th-27th out of 27 regencies/cities in West Java. In addition, he also highlighted economic disparities, especially in terms of gross regional domestic product (GRDP) per capita. “Garut has only reached Rp29 million per capita, while the average for West Java is Rp56 million, and the national average is Rp78 million. This means that Garut is still far behind,” he said. Syakur emphasized that increasing community productivity is the key to improving this situation. He believes that the agricultural sector, especially corn, has great potential if it is processed optimally within the region. Currently, Garut contributes 43% of West Java's corn production, but most of the harvest is sold raw and processed outside the region into animal feed. “If there is a feed mill directly in Garut, farmers will not need to buy products from outside. The distribution chain will be shorter, and prices can be more stable,” he explained. The Garut Regent also invited business actors to bring technology and capital to Garut, especially for the animal feed industry. He added that the demand for corn will increase in the future in line with the national Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program initiated by President-elect Prabowo Subianto, as it will drive the demand for broiler chickens and eggs. “We are ready to facilitate incoming investments. Your presence motivates us to continue improving so that Garut does not always rank at the bottom,” he concluded. [SOURCE]

KOMPAS.com – Bank BJB reaffirmed its commitment to supporting accelerated investment in West Java (Jabar) by facilitating The 3rd West Java Investment Roadshow 2025 at the Krakatau Ballroom, T-Tower Bank BJB, Jakarta, on Tuesday (9/23/2025). This event is part of a series of events leading up to The 7th West Java Investment Summit 2025, which will take place in November 2025. The event, initiated by the West Java Provincial Government (Pemprov) and the West Java Representative Office of Bank Indonesia, aims to accelerate investment and promote ready-to-offer projects to both national and global investors. The forum brought together representatives from the central and regional governments, the banking sector, international financial institutions, diplomatic representatives, and investors to explore the strategic opportunities offered by West Java. During the forum, 16 priority investment projects worth Rp 24.6 trillion or equivalent to US$1.49 billion were presented. These 16 projects cover the agribusiness, infrastructure, energy, and development areas sectors. Investors were enthusiastic about these projects, as evidenced by the signing of 27 letters of intent (LoI). The West Java Provincial Government also affirmed its support for the realization of investments through easy licensing, regulatory certainty, and full facilities from the local government (pemda). Concrete support from Bank BJB Bank BJB is present as a financial partner that is ready to provide concrete financing support for strategic projects. Bank BJB's participation not only accelerates West Java's economic growth but also strengthens the province's competitiveness as an integrated industrial, logistics, and education hub. In addition to financing, Bank BJB also offers modern digital services, such as DIGI Mobile Banking and Internet Banking Corporate. These services facilitate transactions, financing, and the integration of local financial systems, and are expected to enhance efficiency for businesses and investors. For information, the Indonesian government is targeting higher investment needs throughout the 2025-2029 period to support national economic growth. Nine strategic sectors have been designated as priorities, ranging from new and renewable energy to the development of education and vocational training. Various fiscal and non-fiscal incentives are offered, such as tax holidays, tax allowances, and super tax reductions for research and education. Special policies are also directed at accelerating the electric vehicle ecosystem, a sector that is now one of West Java's strengths. With simpler regulations through the Job Creation Law, a risk-based OSS system, and the development of special economic zones (KEK) and industrial zones, West Java has gained an advantage as one of the national growth centers. West Java itself has made a significant contribution to national investment, particularly in the automotive, transportation, housing, and industrial estate sectors. The province is also the center of the national electric vehicle ecosystem, from upstream to downstream, which is in line with Indonesia's sustainable development direction. West Java's economy also recorded positive growth in the second quarter of 2025, supported by household consumption, increased investment, and exports to China and India. Controlled inflation, particularly due to falling food prices, provides stability for investors. With a strong investment ecosystem, regulatory support, and active involvement from regional banks, Bank BJB is optimistic that West Java will become a gateway for investment into Indonesia and a driving force for national development towards more inclusive, green, and sustainable economic growth. Bank BJB's participation in investment forums, such as the West Java Investment Roadshow, is expected to bring investors together with potential projects and accelerate the realization of new investments in West Java. As a strategic partner of the West Java Provincial Government, Bank BJB reaffirms its commitment to making investment the main driver of regional economic growth. [SOURCE]

Karawang (ANTARA) – The Karawang Regency Manpower and Transmigration Office in West Java acknowledged that the high level of investment entering Karawang does not necessarily increase labor absorption because most investments are capital-intensive. “The investments entering Karawang are mostly capital-intensive, so they don’t significantly affect labor absorption,” said Rosmalia Dewi, Head of the Karawang Manpower and Transmigration Office, on Sunday in Karawang. Capital-intensive investments mean companies rely heavily on machines and technology, requiring fewer human workers. This contrasts with about ten years ago when many labor-intensive investments focused on employing large numbers of workers entered Karawang. “Because most of the incoming investments are capital-intensive, the labor absorption is not very large,” she added. However, the office continues efforts to improve human resources so local job candidates in Karawang can compete. This includes collaboration with schools and companies to conduct training programs to ensure graduates’ skills meet industry needs. According to data from the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), investment in Karawang reached Rp68 trillion in 2024, a significant increase from Rp42.1 trillion in 2023. Despite this large investment figure, it does not correspond to a proportional increase in employment. Data from the Karawang Manpower and Transmigration Office shows that in the first half of 2022, labor absorption amounted to only 4,524 people. In the third quarter of 2023, out of 1,934 investment projects, labor absorption was only 4,314. From January to June 2025, domestic and foreign investment in Karawang reached Rp30.24 trillion, but the labor absorption for the same period was only 12,209 people. [SOURCE]

PR SUBANG – The Subang Regency Government has allocated a budget of Rp324 million per year from the regional budget (APBD) to pay seven consultants dedicated to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This fund reflects Subang’s commitment to strengthening the grassroots economy sector through the Integrated Business Service Center (PLUT) for Cooperatives and MSMEs. PLUT KUMKM, located on Jalan KS Tubun, Cigadung, was established in 2014 with funding from the central government for its first five years. Now, its operational continuity is fully supported by the regional budget. Deputy Regent of Subang, Agus Masykur Rosyadi, emphasized that this investment is crucial to help MSME actors develop their businesses. “Salaries totaling around Rp324 million per year are paid to seven consultants,” he said in Subang on Saturday (September 20, 2025). According to the Deputy Regent, the main task of these seven consultants is to provide non-financial consultancy services to MSMEs. The services most utilized by business actors include consultation on product packaging design, marketing strategies, and various technical aspects. He added that since its inception, many MSME players in Subang have benefited from PLUT KUMKM. This institution serves as a place for them to receive mentoring, training, and facilitation in managing business legality. With this budget allocation, the Subang Regency Government strives to ensure MSMEs have access to the necessary resources to compete, grow, and level up. [SOURCE]

Kuningan (ANTARA) - Kuningan Regent Dian Rachmat Yanuar has confirmed that investment in the manufacturing sector in the form of a shoe factory will soon be coming to Kuningan Regency, West Java, with an investment value of between Rp1.2 trillion and Rp1.8 trillion. “One of the agreements reached is the entry of investors in the manufacturing sector with an estimated investment value ranging from Rp1.2 trillion to Rp1.8 trillion,” said Dian in his statement in Kuningan on Friday. He conveyed this certainty after the Kuningan Adiluhung event in Jakarta on Wednesday (18/9), which brought together local governments and potential investors. He said that the investment would have a direct impact on the regional economy, especially in terms of large-scale absorption of local labor. “In the initial stage, it can absorb 2,000 to 3,000 workers. Gradually, the number is targeted to increase to 5,000 to 7,000 people,” he said. According to him, the Kuningan Regency Government (Pemkab) is directing incoming investments to not only focus on economic growth but also to improve the welfare of the community. The agreement to build a shoe factory, he said, is the first step in an inclusive and sustainable regional economic transformation. Dian explained that in the Kuningan Adiluhung forum, the local government had presented other potential areas of excellence, such as agriculture, tourism, renewable energy, and the creative economy. In addition to the presentation, he continued, the forum provided an interactive question and answer session so that potential investors could understand the opportunities available in Kuningan. He emphasized that regional regulations fully support incoming investment, including through accelerated licensing and technical assistance. “We will ensure that the entire process runs smoothly so that investors feel comfortable investing their capital in Kuningan,” he said. He invited the community to play a role in maintaining a conducive investment climate, as investment is believed to be able to overcome the problems of unemployment and poverty. Dian is optimistic that the entry of shoe factory investment can open thousands of new jobs and drive regional economic growth. “If there are parties that interfere with this process, we will certainly take firm action,” he said. Previously, the Kuningan Regional Government was confident that it would be able to achieve its investment realization target of IDR 1.9 trillion by 2025, in line with positive growth trends and efforts to improve regional investment regulations. In 2024, the region is expected to exceed its investment target of IDR 1.8 trillion. [SOURCE]

KARAWANG, iNEWSKarawang.id – Karawang Regent Aep Syaepuloh has asked all companies operating in Karawang Regency to report any actions that could potentially disrupt the investment climate. He made the statement while attending the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Karawang District Government and 22 companies regarding the optimization of active training roles at the Karawang Manpower and Transmigration Agency's Vocational Training Center (BLK) on Friday (September 19, 2025) at the Karawang Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) Hall. “I ask all companies not to hesitate to report to me if there are parties that disrupt the comfort of investment in Karawang. The local government will be present and provide protection,” said Aep firmly. According to him, investment comfort is an important factor for the sustainability of the business world in Karawang. The local government is committed to creating a conducive investment climate while ensuring that local workers can be absorbed through a link and match program between industry and BLK. “Not only me, but the TNI, Polri, and the Attorney General's Office will also provide assistance because Karawang is the largest industrial area in West Java. Therefore, we must maintain a healthy and conducive investment climate. Companies can focus on production, while local workers can be absorbed,” he said. Aep also reminded that the Karawang Regional Government continues to strive to provide a space for dialogue with the business world. With this MoU, he hopes that the synergy between the government, companies, and workers can be strengthened. “Alhamdulillah, the companies that signed this MoU are indeed large companies.

TEROPONGNEWS.COM, PURWAKARTA – The Purwakarta Regency Government is targeting an investment of Rp 11.2 trillion in the 2025 fiscal year. The target was announced by the Head of the Purwakarta Investment and Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), Rian Oktavia, accompanied by the Agency Secretary H. Yadi, when met at his office on Thursday (September 18, 2025) afternoon. Rian explained that the target consists of Rp 5.28 trillion in Domestic Investment (PMDN) and Rp 1.24 trillion in Foreign Investment (PMA). Meanwhile, as of the first half of 2025, investment realization in Purwakarta has reached Rp 6.52 trillion, or around 58.23 percent of the annual target. “Based on the first semester's achievements, we are optimistic that this year's investment target can be achieved and even potentially exceeded,” said Rian. For comparison, in the previous fiscal year, Purwakarta also targeted investments of IDR 11.2 trillion. However, the realization achieved was only IDR 8.12 trillion, or around 72.5 percent of the target. This realization consisted of IDR 4.8 trillion in domestic investment (PMDN) and IDR 3.3 trillion in foreign investment (PMA). According to Rian, the investment achievement in Purwakarta cannot be separated from the improving business climate and the local government's commitment to providing easy licensing and services to investors. "We strive to create a conducive, transparent, and fast investment climate. This is key to making business actors feel comfortable investing their capital in Purwakarta," he added. In addition, the Purwakarta Regional Government is also encouraging investment in strategic sectors, such as manufacturing, infrastructure, tourism, and renewable energy. Rian emphasized that with this strategy, Purwakarta is expected to become one of the main investment destinations in West Java. [SOURCE]

SUKABUMI – The trade and services sector remains the main pillar supporting the increase in investment in Sukabumi City. During the first semester of 2025, the recorded investment value reached IDR 131.35 billion, thus increasing the total investment in Sukabumi City to IDR 739.69 billion. Cecep Iskandar, Investment Management Officer at the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) of Sukabumi City, said this achievement shows a positive trend compared to the same period last year. “Alhamdulillah, the investment this year has already reached the target,” Cecep told reporters on Thursday (September 18). According to him, this significant increase is driven by two main factors. First, the increasing number of business actors understanding the importance of business legality. “Second, the addition of the Indonesian Standard Business Field Classification (KBLI) which automatically increases the business capital,” he explained. Cecep considers the achievement remarkable, given that the number of business actors in Sukabumi City is not as many as in other regions. “With relatively few business actors, this significant increase is quite proud,” he said. Not only noting investment numbers, DPMPTSP also reported positive impacts on labor absorption. From January to June 2025, a total of 3,614 workers were absorbed by various business sectors. “As of mid-2025, Sukabumi City has 6,150 active business units. The details consist of 5,220 micro businesses, 878 small businesses, 22 medium businesses, and 30 large companies that continue to contribute to regional economic growth,” he added. He is optimistic that the investment trend will continue to grow until the end of the year. “With business actors’ increasing awareness of licensing, the trade and services sector is believed to still be the main engine driving Sukabumi City’s economic wheel,” he concluded.

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, MAJALENGKA – The Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of Majalengka Regency emphasizes the importance of having a regional regulation (perda) on investment. This regulation is considered urgent so that Majalengka can optimize its strategic potential while ensuring that the benefits of development are directly felt by the community. Deputy Chairperson of Majalengka DPRD, Asep Eka Mulyana, said the Investment Regional Regulation is no longer just a discourse but an urgent need. According to him, Majalengka holds a very strategic position in West Java due to the presence of West Java International Airport (BIJB) Kertajati, accessibility via Cipali and Cisumdawu Toll Roads, and the huge opportunities in the Rebana Metropolitan Area. “This investment Regional Regulation is important so investors have legal certainty, local government has guidelines, and the community obtains guarantees of protection. Without regulation, we are just spectators while other regions are racing ahead with new investments,” said Asep Eka Mulyana on Saturday, September 13, 2025. The Chairperson of Golkar Party Majalengka Regional Leadership Council (DPD) explained that this regulation will also serve as a controlling instrument. Incoming investments must be directed to provide multiplier effects, open job opportunities, strengthen MSMEs, and maintain environmental sustainability. “Investment should not just be seen from capital size but the extent of its impact on community welfare. This regulation will serve as a fence to ensure investments are safe for investors and do not harm society,” he explained. Considering this situation, DPRD urges the Majalengka Regency Government to immediately prepare the academic manuscript and draft of the Investment Regional Regulation to be included in the 2026 Regional Regulation Formation Program (Propemperda). “Investment must not remain a strategic issue without follow-up by preparing the software in the form of regional regulations. We ask the executive not to delay anymore. Immediately submit the draft Investment Regional Regulation to DPRD; we are ready to discuss it together,” the senior legislator emphasized. Meanwhile, Majalengka DPRD member M. Fajar Shidik believes the Investment Regional Regulation must be comprehensively prepared to be a fair governance instrument. According to the Chairperson of the Majalengka PPP DPC, investment should not only stop at numbers. The regulation must bind every investor to absorb Majalengka's workforce, partner with MSMEs, and implement measurable CSR programs. “In addition to investors being secure, the benefits can also be directly felt by the Majalengka people,” Fajar said separately. Fajar also stressed that the presence of the Investment Regional Regulation will be an important milestone to ensure that investments in Majalengka not only add to statistical numbers but truly bring tangible benefits to the people. “This regulation is not only for investors but also for the people. We want investments that create new jobs, strengthen MSMEs, increase regional revenue (PAD), and still side with environmental sustainability,” he said. Investment Value in Majalengka According to official data from West Java DPMPTSP, investment realization in Majalengka Regency in the first quarter of 2025 was recorded at IDR 699.57 billion. This year's target is IDR 3.4 trillion, with a realization of about 47 percent by mid-year. In 2024, Majalengka recorded an investment realization of IDR 3.59 trillion, exceeding the target of IDR 3.1 trillion. However, Majalengka has not yet made it into the top 10 regions with the highest investment realization in West Java. This condition shows that without strong regulation, Majalengka risks falling behind other more aggressively pro-investment regions. 6 Key Points on the Urgency of Investment Regional Regulation According to Asep and Fajar, there are several reasons why the Investment Regional Regulation must be immediately established. First, to provide legal certainty for investors so the investment climate is more conducive. Second, to regulate development directions by channeling investments toward priority sectors such as modern agriculture, agro-industry, tourism, and supporting services around BIJB Kertajati. Third, to protect local communities by ensuring local workforce absorption, MSME involvement, and reducing the potential for social inequality. Fourth, to control environmental impacts by ensuring every investment complies with Environmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL) and sustainable development principles. Fifth, to accelerate licensing through transparent, efficient, and integrated mechanisms. Sixth, to serve as a basis for monitoring and evaluation by DPRD and local government to oversee investment realization and impose strict sanctions in case of violations. [SOURCE]

TIMES JABAR, BANDUNG – Bandung Barat is increasingly attracting attention as a promising property investment destination. This area not only offers beautiful natural scenery but is also preparing to become a strategic region with a series of major infrastructure projects that will transform its landscape over the next few years. Behind this development boom is Yana Triana, founder and CEO of Yanproland, who is now actively working on the exclusive Emerald Resort project in the sunrise area of Bandung Barat. Yana sees a golden opportunity here due to relatively affordable land prices, availability of large land areas, and spatial planning that is not as chaotic as in East or South Bandung. He emphasizes that the western region holds extraordinary potential as it will be connected with various new access points, from the Cianjur toll road, Padalarang-Lembang toll road, to Bogor–Cianjur–Bandung (Bicak 2) toll road, which shortens travel time from Bogor to Bandung to about one hour. With this infrastructure, land values are predicted to soar, opening wider economic opportunities. However, Yana stresses that property business cannot run recklessly. Fundamental principles must be followed. The developed land must have clear status, not be in green zones, and free of disputes. Legalities and permits must be clean and clear to ensure project sustainability. Also, good relations with surrounding communities are key. For Yana, property development is not just about building houses but also about driving the local economy and creating comfort for residents around the project. "Emerald Resort is developed with that vision. This project is not only aimed to be an exclusive residential area but also a growth engine for the community's economy. Many jobs are created, from construction workers, security personnel, to daily laborers. New business opportunities also arise, such as convenience stores, restaurants, and supporting service providers. This social impact is what I believe can strengthen the bond between the developer and the community, while improving their living standards," said Yana, a property entrepreneur based in Bandung, Friday (September 12, 2025). "From the market side, the majority of Yanproland’s consumers currently come from Greater Bandung, especially Bandung and Cimahi. But I am optimistic that soon the market will expand to Jabodetabek. The reason is clear, the purchasing power in the metropolitan area is much higher and less price-sensitive. If 80 percent of buyers have been local, going forward, it targets a composition of 50 percent from Greater Bandung and 50 percent from Jabodetabek, accompanied by promotional roadshows to major cities," he explained. Interestingly, Yana does not only focus on physical development. He also pays great attention to human resource development, especially marketing and sales teams. For him, marketers should not remain mere staff but be nurtured into entrepreneurial mindsets. Through various training, he encourages his team to have a big vision, high initiative, and leadership courage. He believes the company’s biggest investment is in its people’s quality. According to him, the training budget should equal the promotional budget. This approach will produce a generation of creative, proactive workers capable of taking the company to the next level. This commitment also responds to concerns from some parties who worry that training might create new competitors. Yana dismisses this notion. For him, the more educated and trained people, the healthier the property industry ecosystem. If some choose to leave and start their own business, it is a success story of mentoring. Those who stay progress to supervisors, managers, or directors, while those who leave can become equal partners. Furthermore, Yana shares a broad view on the nation’s development direction. He believes Indonesia is currently stable and needs to refocus on economic strengthening. He urges society to increase literacy and enrich knowledge with useful content, not just shallow entertainment. With high learning culture and a spirit of building, he believes Indonesia can match developed countries and even compete with Singapore and China in the long term. "Emerald Resort and Yanproland are just small examples of a big dream. In Bandung Barat, an area once overlooked, a new hope is growing. Land that used to cost hundreds of thousands of rupiah per square meter is gradually increasing to millions with incoming investment and development. The presence of exclusive projects not only benefits investors but also opens a better future for surrounding communities," he said. "Ultimately, what I share is a portrait of how vision, discipline, and courage to seize opportunities can create real change. Bandung Barat is no longer just the city’s backyard but a new magnet for investment and a symbol of the rising middle-class craving quality housing. From cheap land and wide areas, a new civilization is born that will help determine West Java’s, even Indonesia’s, economic direction," Yana concluded. [SOURCE]

SUKABUMI – Three districts in Sukabumi City—Baros, Cibeureum, and Lembursitu, collectively known as Bacile—are now attracting investors as a new magnet. The availability of vast land areas makes this region a potential economic growth center amid a rising investment trend. Data from the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) shows that as of August 2025, investment inflows into Sukabumi City reached IDR 918.9 billion. This figure reflects an increasingly conducive and attractive business climate for entrepreneurs. Teten Agus Sugihan, Head of Investment Division at DPMPTSP Sukabumi City, cited Bacile as a strategic area due to its ample development space. “Investment tends to move towards areas with available large land. Bacile is among the most promising,” he said on Wednesday (September 10). Although open to investment, the Sukabumi City Government limits the types of industries allowed. Only non-polluting industries and small to medium scale processing industries are permitted. “We do not open opportunities for industries that have the potential to pollute the environment. The investment profile in Sukabumi is still dominated by the service, trade, and property sectors,” Teten emphasized. In terms of employment, the investment growth also has a significant impact. A total of 21,133 people have been absorbed by 8,358 companies, consisting of 7,066 micro businesses, 1,199 small businesses, 52 medium businesses, and 41 large companies. To attract more investors, DPMPTSP continues to promote regional potential and improve service quality. The use of the nationally integrated Online Single Submission (OSS) application is one of the main strategies. “With OSS, the licensing process is faster and more transparent. Investors feel supported, and we want to continue maintaining that trust,” he concluded. [SOURCE]
