KORAN-PIKIRAN RAKYAT - The Pakembangan Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) in Mandirancan District, Kuningan Regency, is developing black tilapia cultivation in tarpaulin ponds on approximately 200 bata (280 square meters) of land. The seeds are imported from Subang Regency. Erik, Director of BUMDes Pakembangan, stated that black tilapia cultivation is a new breakthrough to improve food security, in line with government policies encouraging BUMDes to manage village funds for food security. In addition to improving village food security, this venture opens up new economic opportunities for residents and increases village income. Black tilapia are known for their thicker flesh, fast growth, and relative disease resistance. This type of fish can be cultivated not only in traditional fish ponds but also in artificial ponds, including tarpaulin ponds. To cultivate black tilapia, his team has constructed 12 tarpaulin ponds with a diameter of 3 meters. Based on meter calculations, one square meter is sufficient for cultivating 100 fish—120 fish the size of a thumb. Erik explained that his team has only just begun cultivating tilapia for a little over two months. The target is to harvest the fish three months and 10 days after the start of cultivation. He explained that the first harvest has already begun, with a yield of 7 quintals. The fish from the first harvest are being sold to residents at a price of Rp 26,000 per kilogram. "A few days ago, we carried out the first harvest, but it wasn't a mass harvest. Only a small portion was harvested, selecting fish that were fit for consumption," said Erik on Monday, October 6, 2025. The Head of Mandirancan District, Sri Waluya Suparman, hopes that the tilapia cultivation carried out by the Pakembangan Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) will improve the welfare of residents and serve as an example for other villages in managing natural resource potential to boost the local economy. Furthermore, it is hoped that in the future, the development will not only be carried out by the Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), but also by residents independently, and even directed towards meeting the need for free nutritious food. Furthermore, residents can seize business opportunities in food processing using black tilapia as the main ingredient. For example, there are stalls selling pepes (steamed rice) and pindang (spiced tilapia). "Mandirancan District has great potential for fish farming. We encourage fish farming," said Waluya. [SOURCE]

DESKJABAR - As is known, toll road construction in West Java has so far focused on the northern coast and central routes. However, none of the toll roads leading to the southern region have been completed. For this reason, the West Java Provincial Government, under the leadership of Governor Dedi Mulyadi, has encouraged the Central Government to immediately construct and implement the Getaci Toll Road, which leads to the south of West Java. This toll road to the south of West Java is believed to stimulate economic growth by improving inter-regional connectivity, serving as a logistics route and providing access to a number of tourist destinations. To achieve this, the Governor, familiarly known as KDM, continues to intensively coordinate with the central government to ensure that every stage, from planning to implementation, runs according to target. According to KDM, the construction of the Getaci Toll Road, along with four other toll roads in West Java connecting the province and cities/regencies, will begin in 2026. "With the full support of the West Java Provincial Government, the construction of these three strategic toll roads is expected to improve connectivity, accelerate regional economic growth, and open up new job and investment opportunities for the people of West Java," the West Java Provincial Government stated, as quoted from Instagram @bappedajabar, Sunday, October 5, 2025. The Getaci Toll Road, which connects the two provinces of West Java and Central Java, stretches 206.65 km from Gedebage, Tasikmalaya, to Cilacap. Construction is divided into two phases: Phase 1: Gedebage - Tasikmalaya Phase 2: Tasikmalaya - Cilacap. Phase 1 construction is further divided into two sections: Section 1: Gedebage - North Garut Section 2: North Garut - Tasikmalaya The Head of the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT), Wilan Oktavian, confirmed the division of construction phases. He said that construction will temporarily reach Tasikmalaya (Phase 1) before continuing with Phase 2. "Temporarily (it will reach Tasikmalaya and then continue to Cilacap). That's the excess," he said. Must Be Operational in 2029 So far, the Getaci Toll Road project has re-entered the tender process, which will be held in 2026, and is targeted to be operational in 2029. To meet this deadline, several areas in Bandung Regency and Garut Regency are now entering the data validation and compensation (UGR) stage for landowners affected by the Getaci Toll Road. Once the data validation and UGR reimbursement process in Bandung and Garut Regencies is complete, a similar process will continue in Tasikmalaya Regency and City, Ciamis Regency, Pangandaran Regency, and finally in Cilacap.

jabar.jpnn.com, BANDUNG CITY - The Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2025 automotive exhibition officially opened at the Sudirman Grand Ballroom, Bandung City, on Wednesday (October 1, 2025). This event is not merely an automotive exhibition but also a catalyst for the economic sector in West Java. West Java Deputy Governor Erwan Setiawan stated that hosting GIIAS in Bandung demonstrates that West Java has become a magnet for the national automotive industry and a potential investment destination. “GIIAS is not just an exhibition, but also an educational and entertainment event, and most importantly, an investment opportunity. It brings a huge multiplier effect to the regional economy,” said Erwan in his speech. Erwan mentioned that the growth of the automotive industry in West Java is now not only concentrated in Karawang and Bekasi. The northern region of West Java, such as Subang, has begun to develop rapidly as an automotive manufacturing area, mainly due to its access to Patimban Port and Kertajati West Java International Airport (BIJB). “An automotive factory is now being built on the northern coast of Subang. This shows that West Java is becoming a strategic automotive manufacturing center,” he said. Erwan also welcomed investors who are investing in the automotive sector in West Java. [SOURCE]

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.

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.
