KOMPAS.com – Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Muhammad Tito Karnavian appreciates the economic growth of West Java Province (Jabar) that exceeds the national average. Based on obtained data, West Java’s economy grew by 4.98 percent year-on-year (yoy) in the first quarter of 2025, while the national economic growth stood at 4.87 percent. This appreciation was conveyed by Tito during the Gathering with the Governor of West Java and Regional Heads across West Java at Lembur Pakuan Sukadaya, Subang Regency, Tuesday (July 15, 2025). He explained that West Java is one of the provinces with abundant human resources (HR), having the largest population dominated by the productive age group. According to Tito, this potential must be utilized to support economic growth. In addition, West Java also possesses abundant natural resources (SDA). “The productive age group in West Java comprises 69.75 percent of the population aged 15 to 64 years. What does this mean? This is potential,” he said in a press release, Wednesday (July 16, 2025). Emphasizing APBD Realization During the gathering, Tito also emphasized the importance for regional governments (pemda) in West Java to pay attention to the realization of the Regional Budget (APBD), which plays a crucial role in supporting economic growth. He asserted that government spending aims to increase the circulation of money in the community. This circulation is important to strengthen household consumption, which is one of the main factors supporting economic growth. Additionally, government spending also plays a role in revitalizing the private sector, producing a positive economic impact. “Household consumption contributes more than 50 percent to economic growth. (Other factors include) investment, industry, and others,” said Tito. Therefore, he reminded regional governments in West Java with low spending realization to continuously make efforts to improve. Tito urged regional heads to regularly gather apparatus organizations (OPD) to closely monitor spending realization by each OPD. “Ask them to read, maybe the Regional Secretary or Regional Development Planning Board (Bappeda), to check how much each OPD has spent, identify which are slow and which are fast, so later they can catch up on spending,” he explained. During the forum, Tito also highlighted various challenges still faced by regional governments in West Java, such as extreme poverty, unemployment, and stunting. These issues must be addressed by the regional heads for ongoing improvement. Appreciation for Tito’s Quick Response West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi expressed gratitude for Tito’s presence. He assessed that the forum could be used for consultation to address various problems faced by regional heads. Dedi also appreciated Tito’s quick response when he was contacted for coordination. “Tonight, we use this meeting for consultation, then convey a few key thoughts (from the Home Minister) for regents and mayors to absorb,” he said. The forum was attended by West Java Regional Secretary Herman Suryatman, regents and mayors across West Java Province, and other related officials. Officials accompanying Tito included Inspector General of the Ministry of Home Affairs Sang Made Mahendra Jaya, Special Staff for Politics and Network Formation Apep Fajar Kurniawan, Director General of Politics and General Governance Bahtiar. Also present were Director General of Regional Autonomy Akmal Malik, Director General of Regional Development Restuardy Daud, Acting Director General of Regional Finance Horas Maurits Panjaitan, Head of Press Center of the Ministry Benni Irwan, and other relevant officials.

SUKABUMIUPDATE.com – Ayep Zaki is optimistic that the target he shares with Bobby Maulana to boost the Regional Original Revenue (PAD) of Sukabumi City will be achieved. Since being inaugurated in early March 2025, Ayep and Bobby instantly implemented their plan to raise Sukabumi City PAD from Rp81 billion in 2024 to Rp120 billion in 2025. Ayep Zaki revealed this in a release received by sukabumiupdate.com on Saturday (July 12, 2025). The NasDem Party politician said that PAD in Sukabumi City rose 64 percent year on year (YoY) in June. According to Ayep, the figure is real based on data from the Regional Financial and Revenue Management Agency (BPKPD), which shows increases across all potential sectors generally. “PAD achievement in Sukabumi City was Rp39,375,676,180 on June 30, 2024. Meanwhile, on June 30, 2025, it was Rp64,545,776,670. This means a 64% YoY increase,” said Ayep Zaki. The politician, who has a business background, explained that this increase is the result of hard work from all parties, from the local government to the residents. Ayep noted that he and Bobby began socializing programs immediately after their appointment as winners of the 2025 Sukabumi City election. The Rp81 billion PAD figure for Sukabumi City in 2024 excludes Regional Public Service Agencies, Ayep added. “Our work target for 2025 is to be more optimal and maximize local fiscal improvement. Since December 2024, we have been socializing and visiting departments and Regional Work Units (SKPD) to communicate our upcoming programs.” With this achievement, Ayep Zaki is optimistic about maintaining the region's financial performance until December 2025, with a PAD target for Sukabumi City of Rp120 billion. Several focus areas for improving the target include Specific Goods and Services Tax (PBJT) from all restaurants, small, medium, and large scale. Also, optimizing the hotel BPJT, billboards, parking, and market levies. Ayep is also considering maximizing market potential, especially market levies. He said market levies have been relatively small and need to organize the management of several markets such as Pasar Pelita, Pasar Gudang, Pasar Degung, the former Terminal Lama Market, and Pasar Lembursitu. “Our target is to manage all of these well during the term,” he emphasized. In the release, Ayep Zaki also explained why PAD, particularly PAD improvement, is a frequent topic of discussion at governmental or informal community meetings. According to the Mayor of Sukabumi, an increase in PAD means covering basic community needs, especially for lower-middle-class residents who need assistance. Healthy local fiscal conditions will also aid Sukabumi City infrastructure issues. “The thinking framework is how the city government can solve its financial problems independently because funding incentives come from PAD, not from special allocation funds or central government financial assistance. There are vertical incentives such as social assistance, PKH, BLT, or later BSU, or BPJS. But those are not enough,” he explained. He also cited data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) stating that poverty in Sukabumi City is currently 7 percent. With a population of 367,000, this means over 25,000 people need incentives funded by the Sukabumi City APBD. “If 25,000 people receive Rp1 million incentives, we need a budget of Rp25 billion. There will be a domino effect from this financial aid because the money will be spent on living needs, thus triggering money circulation for economic growth,” Ayep Zaki elaborated. So far, various groups are entitled to receive incentives from the APBD such as neighborhood leaders (RT/RW), religious teachers, coordinators, caretakers, and health post workers. “God willing, in 2026 we will expand incentives to other groups such as madrasah diniyah teachers and others,” concluded Sukabumi Mayor Ayep Zaki [SOURCE]

SUKABUMIUPDATE.com - Sukabumi Mayor Ayep Zaki emphasized the importance of developing connected infrastructure between Sukabumi, Cianjur, and Bogor as the key to efficient economic mobilization. He conveyed this during the 2025 West Java Economic Society (WJES) Seminar held at the Horison Hotel in Sukabumi. “This seminar aims to build connected infrastructure between Sukabumi, Cianjur, and Bogor for much more efficient economic mobilization so that there will be no expensive price spikes due to infrastructure,” said Ayep Zaki to sukabumiupdate.com shortly after attending the event on Tuesday (1/7/2025). According to him, this agenda is very important to encourage joint progress in the three strategic economic regions of West Java. Through inter-regional collaboration and concrete policy support, logistical disparities and price distribution can be significantly reduced. “This seminar is vital for progress in the three economic regions: Sukabumi, Cianjur, and Bogor,” he stated. Ayep also emphasized that the City of Sukabumi is fully committed to achieving inclusive and sustainable development. “Sukabumi City's commitment is how Sukabumi City will be ready to achieve the nation's goal of improving the welfare of the nation and public welfare by increasing local revenue,” he said. The WJES 2025 seminar was organized by Bank Indonesia West Java Province in collaboration with the Indonesian Economists Association (ISEI) Bandung West Java Coordinator and Sukabumi Polytechnic.

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG – Member of Commission III of West Java Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), Taufik Nurrohim, stated that not all areas in West Java Province can be designated as industrial zones. Taufik explained that some regencies/cities in West Java serve conservation purposes and have infrastructure that is not supportive of becoming investment zones. "In the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW), it is clear that not all areas in West Java are industrial zones. Some areas are conservation zones, and regarding infrastructure, not all regions in West Java are ready with connectivity to support investment," said Taufik Nurrohim on Saturday, June 28, 2025. However, he noted that in the past 10 years, West Java has remained the region with the highest investment in Indonesia. "The realization in 2024 was Rp174 trillion with 74 domestic investment projects and 100 foreign investment projects. In the first quarter of 2025, it reached Rp68.5 trillion, which is an extraordinary figure," he said. Nonetheless, the high investment in West Java has not been distributed across all regencies/cities in the province. The uneven distribution of investment has impacted economic inequality among the regencies/cities in West Java. "Even though West Java has the highest investment, the distribution so far has only been in five regencies/cities, namely Bogor, Bekasi, Karawang, and Bandung, which results in uneven economic conditions in West Java," he said. He explained that the high rates of poverty or unemployment in certain areas are influenced by job availability and investment itself. "There is a correlation between investment and unemployment; they do not stand alone. Therefore, if we want to solve development issues in West Java, one solution is to equalize investment distribution," Taufik concluded. [SOURCE]

Cirebon (ANTARA) – The Government of Cirebon Regency, West Java, has adjusted the industrial area allocation in its region from the original 10,000 hectares to 4,981 hectares to support sustainable, directed, and balanced investment. The Head of the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) of Cirebon Regency, Dede Sudiono, said on Friday in Cirebon that the adjustment was made based on a comprehensive evaluation of land carrying capacity, infrastructure readiness, and environmental aspects. According to him, the adjustment complies with Cirebon Regency Regional Regulation No. 6 of 2024 concerning the Spatial Planning. “This adjustment aims to maintain a balance between economic development, investment pace, and environmental sustainability,” he said. He explained that the previous spatial planning document set the industrial area at 10,000 hectares to support the development of the strategic Rebana area. However, the evaluation showed that not all land could be optimally utilized. Dede said that some areas allocated administratively for industry actually fall under sustainable agricultural zones or flood-prone areas. “Moreover, some land still does not have a clean and clear status as per the previous spatial plan,” he added. He mentioned that this adjustment clarifies things for investors by realistically setting the land area, making planning and licensing more focused and efficient. “We want to provide legal certainty and infrastructure readiness to investors. If the available land is 4,981 hectares, that is what we will facilitate maximally,” he said. Dede said the designated industrial area is scattered across several strategic subdistricts such as Palimanan, Lemahabang, Ciwaringin, Gebang, Gempol, Arjawinangun, and Weru. They position industrial areas close to logistics hubs and labor centers to increase efficiency. “For eastern Cirebon areas such as Losari and Pabedilan, they are directed to be processing industry centers supporting agriculture and fisheries,” he added. Furthermore, the local government considered environmental sustainability in zoning. Areas near protected zones, river borders, or water catchment areas have been excluded from the industrial area plans. Dede is optimistic investor interest will not decline despite the reduction in industrial area size. Rather, with location certainty and infrastructure support, investment processes will run faster and more directed. “For example, some investors have shown interest in building industries in Ciwaringin and Gebang. They only require certainty on location, land status, and licensing ease,” he said. The office is currently preparing a digital information system containing complete data on industrial area maps, licensing status, and supporting facilities. “This system is expected to speed up investor decisions,” he said. Based on DPMPTSP data, investment realization in Cirebon Regency in the first quarter of 2025 reached Rp878.3 billion, or 24.81 percent of the target of Rp3.54 trillion. Of the total realization, Domestic Investment (PMDN) dominated with Rp530.73 billion, while Foreign Direct Investment (PMA) contributed Rp347.58 billion. [SOURCE]

TRIBUNJABAR.ID - Bandung, June 26, 2025 - Discussions on the West Java Provincial Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) for 2025-2029 have now entered a strategic phase. Through the West Java DPRD Special Committee (Pansus), the document outlining the direction of development for the next five years is being thoroughly analyzed. One of the central issues that has emerged in the discussion is the target economic growth rate (LPE) of 7.95 percent by 2029. This figure has been set to align with the national development direction outlined in the 2025–2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), which targets an 8 percent economic growth rate nationally. However, for Taufik Nurrohim, S.Psi, a member of the West Java DPRD from the PKB faction who is also a member of the RPJMD Special Committee, this target should not just be a pipe dream on paper. He emphasized the importance of looking at the current economic reality in West Java and the available fiscal capacity of the region. “We must start from reality. Currently, West Java's LPE is at around 4.95 percent in 2024. This means that in the next five years, we want to add almost 3 points — this is a big leap. The question is not only whether it is possible or not, but what must be sacrificed and prepared,” said Taufik. He highlighted that the most obvious challenge lies in the region's fiscal capacity. With limited regional budget space and the dominance of routine spending, it is difficult to imagine that growth can be achieved without actively involving the private sector and investment. Therefore, Taufik emphasized that the key to pushing the LPE to 7.95 percent is the acceleration of productive and inclusive investment. However, accelerating investment is not without obstacles. The unfinished spatial planning process, weak infrastructure support in the southern and central regions, and the low readiness of the local workforce are structural obstacles that must be overcome. Taufik reminded that economic growth will only occur if the main engines of development run in harmony: investment, vocational education, connectivity, and synchronized spatial planning. “Investment is the driving force, but without ready land, suitable labor, and clear licensing, investment will only pile up on paper,” he said. Amid limited fiscal conditions, Taufik also encouraged the optimization of creative financing through the Government and Business Entity Cooperation (KPBU) scheme, the utilization of strategic regional-owned enterprises (BUMD), and the restructuring of regional budget (APBD) programs to focus more on sectors that drive economic growth. In addition to accelerating investment, the DPRD emphasized the importance of equitable growth across regions. According to Taufik, if West Java relies solely on growth from old industrial areas such as Bekasi, Karawang, and Bogor, it will remain trapped in inequality. He urged the RPJMD to encourage the creation of new growth zones in the southern region, the northern coast, and rural areas based on agriculture and tourism. Furthermore, Taufik also noted that high economic growth does not automatically reduce poverty or unemployment if it is not accompanied by structural transformation in the employment sector. He emphasized the need for connectivity between investment plans, the provision of job training, and vocational education reforms that directly address the needs of industry. “We must not pursue large-scale investment, but then bring in workers from outside the region because we are not ready. This means that growth must be closely linked to improving the quality of local human resources,” said Taufik. With this position, the West Java DPRD, particularly through the RPJMD Special Committee, has taken a critical and consolidative stance. The DPRD does not reject big ambitions, but wants to ensure that all policy instruments supporting growth are truly strong, realistic, and can be implemented with the existing APBD structure. “The 7.95 percent target is not something to be feared, but something to be prepared for together. Do not make this figure a political burden, but a strategic challenge that tests the resilience of our development system,” he concluded. [SOURCE]

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Head of the Poverty Eradication Agency (BP Taskin) Budiman Sudjatmiko named Kuningan Regency, West Java, as one of the regions that has successfully empowered the poor through green investment. According to him, although Kuningan Regency has the second-highest poverty rate in West Java, the region has received recognition from the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) for having the lowest rate of land conversion from agricultural to non-agricultural use. "This is a paradox: while the community has not been lifted out of poverty, the environment has been saved, and that is actually what is interesting. The Regent of Kuningan has a vision of only accepting green investment, investment that does not damage the environment and is very minimal, so that investment is only in food and must be green. That is an interesting finding," he said in a discussion in Jakarta on Wednesday night. He cited several examples of investments that Kuningan Regency could utilize, such as carbon trading, organic farming, or other investments that do not damage the environment while still utilizing technology. Budiman also said that, on average, regional heads who had held hearings with BP Taskin had succeeded in moving away from the paradigm of alleviating poverty by reducing the burden of expenditure on the poor through direct cash assistance (BLT). This does not mean that BLT has been eliminated, but rather that they have realized that BLT is not enough, he said. They have accepted the approach offered, which is to promote industrialization that liberates the poor. “So the approach is no longer affirmation, advocacy, or protection through BLT, social assistance, and so on, but rather they agree with our approach, industrialization that liberates the poor,” he said. He emphasized that BP Taskin has been offering an approach to poverty alleviation through data by name and address, investment, and collaboration. They agreed that poverty alleviation means encouraging investment with the aim of getting the poor to work or become entrepreneurs, not investment that simply displaces people or damages the environment. “But there are conditions, namely that poor areas must receive investment capital, or the poor must work and become part of the business chain,” he explained. Then, the next investment condition being promoted by BP Taskin is poverty alleviation through inclusive growth, which empowers the poor to work together to collaborate in order to escape poverty. “The approach BP Taskin will take, which we call poverty alleviation through inclusive growth, means growing through inclusive economic activities together,” he said.

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG - Five regencies/cities in West Java are offering various strategic projects with an investment value of up to Rp 392 billion. The five regencies/cities are Subang, Purwakarta, Ciamis, Sukabumi, and Garut. Head of the West Java Provincial Investment and Integrated One-Stop Service Agency (DPMPTSP), Dedi Taufik, stated that these projects are included in the West Java Investment Challenge (WJIC) 2025 list, which is ready to welcome investment partnerships in sectors such as basic infrastructure, agriculture, processing industries, and sustainable tourism. “This signifies the region's commitment to promoting economic growth based on local potential,” said Dedi Taufik on Monday (6/23/2025). In Subang Regency, he said, there is an investment project for clean water services for the Patimban Port Area with an investment value of IDR 134.2 billion through a Build Operate Transfer (BOT) scheme. “This project is designed to expand the coverage of services, which currently only reaches 46.1 percent, in an effort to support port activities and industrial development around the Patimban Port,” he said. Sukabumi, through Perumda Agro Sukabumi Mandiri, is developing a Modern Rice Milling Unit (RMU) worth IDR 92.5 billion with automated and efficient technology. This project offers an IRR of 22.1% and a payback period of 3 years. The RMU is designed to increase the capacity and added value of rice from local rice farming. Purwakarta is offering a project to optimize the clean water supply system in Jatiluhur District worth IDR 31.9 billion (CAPEX), with a Business to Business (B2B) scheme. This project, said Dedi, will increase the capacity of clean water services for more than 9,000 households and industries to address the limited groundwater supply in the area. Ciamis is opening up investment opportunities worth IDR 24.2 billion to build an Integrated Chicken Processing Industry in Kp Cijeungjing. “This project supports the poultry sector through RPA and cold chain system facilities, with a capacity of 4,000 chickens per day and a payback period of around 4.5 years,” he said. Meanwhile, in Garut Regency, Situ Bagendit World Class Premium is a nature and culture-based tourism project developed on 124 hectares of land. Through an Unsolicited Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme, this Rp109.5 billion project targets middle and upper-class tourists with an IRR of 18% and an NPV of Rp78.45 billion. “All of these projects not only offer financial potential but also promote sustainable development and local economic empowerment,” he said.

KOMPAS.com – The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) welcomes an investment worth USD 2.3 billion or around Rp 37 trillion from Dubai-based company EDGNEX. These funds will be used to build a large-scale data center in the Cikarang industrial area, West Java. “Data centers are part of the backbone of Indonesia's digital transformation. We view EDGNEX's presence as a positive signal of increasing global investor confidence in the country's digital ecosystem,” said Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid during her visit to Russia on Thursday (6/19/2025). The project will be built on 12 hectares of land. The first phase is targeted for completion in 2026 and will continue to be developed until 2028. According to Komdigi data, the national data center capacity has increased from 180 megawatts (MW) at the beginning of the administration to 290 MW. In comparison, Malaysia has a capacity of around 400 MW. However, with accelerated development, national capacity is projected to reach 900 MW by the end of 2025. “The rapid increase in capacity indicates that Indonesia is pursuing a strategic position in the region. This must continue to be accelerated,” said Meutya. The government is also opening up new investment opportunities as the demand for national data centers is estimated to reach 1.5 to 2 gigawatts (GW) in the next two years. If the target is achieved, Indonesia has the potential to become a major digital data center in Southeast Asia. “We hope that investor confidence—both domestic and foreign—will continue to increase to support a robust and inclusive national digital infrastructure ecosystem,” added Meutya. Komdigi also emphasized the importance of the social impact of incoming investments. “We encourage investments such as EDGNEX to not only be large in scale, but also provide added value to the community. This includes supporting the digitization of MSMEs and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the food, fisheries, and health sectors,” said Meutya. Previously, Meutya Hafid inaugurated an AI-based data center in the Cibitung area. The facility, built by DCI Indonesia, is claimed to be the most advanced in Southeast Asia. She noted that domestic players also have high capacity and need continued support. “Komdigi is open to dialogue and cooperation that strengthens national interests in building inclusive and sustainable digital infrastructure,” said Meutya.

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

SUKABUMIUPDATE.com – The West Java Provincial Government has recorded positive performance in managing the 2024 Regional Budget (APBD).
