INILAHKORAN, Bandung - Head of the West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services (DPMPTSP) Department, Nining Yuliastiani, predicts that the investment realization target in 2024 could reach IDR 250 trillion. Nining said that in fact the central government had not yet conveyed the targets for each province for 2024 regarding investment realization. However, Nining said, if you look at 2023. Where it is possible that West Java will be charged with the same percentage target, then the figure will clearly increase from IDR 188 trillion in 2023, to IDR 250 trillion this year. "We haven't (received the target). In 2023, the (national) target was IDR 1,400 trillion, we got a share of IDR 188 trillion. Around 14 percent. This year (the central government is targeting) IDR 1,650 trillion. If positioned the same, around IDR 250 trillion (target "West Java investment realization will be in 2024). But we don't have the predictions yet," said Nining in Bandung City recently. In 2023, from January to September investment in West Java was dominated by foreign investment (PMA) around 60 percent and domestic investment (PMDN) around 39 percent. The largest investment point is Bekasi Regency amounting to IDR 41.5 trillion, then Karawang Regency IDR 35.1 trillion, Bogor Regency IDR 12 trillion, Purwakarta Regency IDR 10.7 trillion and Bekasi City IDR 8.6 trillion. There are five sectors that investors are interested in, namely transportation, warehouse and communications worth IDR 28.8 trillion. The investment sector for housing, industrial areas and offices is IDR 19.5 trillion. Metal machinery and electronics industry sector IDR 16.2 trillion. Motor vehicle and other means of transportation industry with an investment value of IDR 15.8 trillion. With this achievement, labor absorption from January-September 2023 was 192,414 people, with details of 96,680 workers absorbed in PMA investment and 95,734 workers absorbed in PMDN investment. It is possible that in 2024, dominance will not be much different with the addition of several channels that can be offered, namely the Rebana Triangle Area, South West Java and Ciayumajakuning.

KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. Ending 2023, the Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has issued 7,146,105 Business Identification Numbers (NIB) through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system. The composition of the published NIB consists of 6,887,479 micro businesses, followed by small businesses with 187,402 NIBs, then 23,350 NIBs for medium businesses, and 47,874 large businesses. Special Staff and Spokesperson for the Ministry of Investment/BKPM Tina Talisa expressed her appreciation to all business actors who have processed business permits through the risk-based OSS system. This system is an implementation of the Job Creation Law to provide ease of doing business. “Thank you to Indonesian business actors who are very cooperative. This completely online NIB management cannot run without the willingness and understanding of business actors. The MSEs (micro and small businesses) who dominate the issuance of NIB are truly extraordinary. "We also received a lot of input from business actors to improve the OSS system to make it more user friendly," said Tina in her official statement, Monday (1/1). Tina added that the number of NIBs issued through the OSS system will experience a significant increase in 2023. It has been recorded that more than 2 million NIBs have been issued since the 2nd anniversary of the risk-based OSS system in August 2023. For comparison, throughout 2022 the OSS system issued 2,461,775 NIBs. This means that in the last 5 months it could almost match the NIB issuance in 2022. "We interpret this achievement as a form of awareness among business actors to become formal and a form of increasing trust in the government. "As long as there is an internet connection, business people can take care of NIB from wherever they are, no longer need to come to the DPMPTSP (One Stop Investment and Integrated Services Service) office to meet lots of officers and lots of tables," said Tina. Tina also does not deny that consultation services, both face-to-face and digital, are always needed. This is to help handle questions and/or technical obstacles encountered by business actors. “Currently, OSS issues an average of 13 to 15 thousand NIBs every day. In fact, at certain times it can be more than 50,000 NIB in a day. Meanwhile, the contact center usually receives around 500 telephone calls, a thousand WhatsApp messages and a thousand emails per day. This means approximately 15% of the total NIB issued. "So actually, most business actors can process it independently until the NIB is issued," he explained. As of December 29 2023, the five provinces with the most NIB issuance were West Java 1,276,268 NIB, East Java 1,101,689 NIB, Central Java 835,287 NIB, DKI Jakarta 596,518 NIB, and Banten 347,456 NIB.

"In 2024, West Java will focus on encouraging the development of renewable-based downstream industries in West Java and encouraging the implementation of the Green Economy in West Java," he added. Apart from that, Nining also said that West Java is not enough just to promote existing potential, but also to create quality human resources. This is the key to investment development. "The quality of human resources is an asset that becomes an investment, good human resource positions will become a component of economic activity in West Java, and become promotional material for investment assets. "Let's work together to support quality investment," said Nining. Nining added that West Java's major investment achievements in 2023, both the realization of foreign investment and domestic investment, will continue to be encouraged in 2024, especially if supported by infrastructure and ease of licensing services.

PORTALJABAR, KAB. BANDUNG BARAT - Investment is a vital indicator of a region's economic growth. Currently, West Java Province has become a very attractive investment destination, realization in the last five years has been more than IDR 800 trillion and the record in 2023 will reach IDR 174.6 trillion.

"Every investment realized per IDR 1 trillion can absorb 1,000 people so that with an investment of IDR 174.6 trillion we can absorb a workforce of around 174,000 people," said Dodo. High investment in West Java also has an impact on increasing economic growth. Last year West Java's economic growth was the best in Java, growing 5.45 percent. "In the second quarter of 2023, West Java's economic growth will be above the national average, namely 5.17 percent," he said. West Java is also one of the provinces that has abundant natural resources and is trusted to receive the development of national strategic projects. "Starting from the need for development materials, with West Java's abundant natural resource potential, mining is a vital sector," said Dodo. "West Java also plays an important role in the realization of investment, supporting sustainable development of infrastructure and industry in West Java. "For example, PSN developments that have been realized in West Java include the Whoosh Fast Train project, West Java Kertajati International Airport, Cisumdawu Toll Road, and Patimban Port," he added. Apart from that, the mining sector also creates job opportunities for the people of West Java, helping to reduce the unemployment rate. "Revenue from the mining sector can also be used to finance other development programs, such as education and health," he said. The West Java Provincial Government also encourages innovation in environmentally friendly mining technology. According to Dodo, using the latest technology can help reduce the negative impact of mining on the environment, while increasing efficiency and productivity in this sector.

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG - West Java's economy in 2024 is predicted to still be bright. Macroeconomic indicators show that the economy of West Java will still grow positively next year. This can be seen from the realization of West Java investment and exports until September 2023 which is still high, even the highest nationally. Head of the West Java Province Department of Industry and Trade, Noneng Komara Nengsih, said that investment realization from January to September 2023 reached IDR 137.2 trillion. West Java is optimistic that investment will still be the highest nationally until December. For your information, in 2022, total investment in West Java will reach IDR 175 trillion. Investment in the West Java industrial sector contributed IDR 79 trillion or 51.5 percent of total investment during January to September 2023, becoming the highest contributor to investment in both PMA and PMDN. Meanwhile, in total, the trade sector was the fifth highest, with 68.75 percent coming from PMDN. "The prospects for the West Java processing industry sector in 2024 show a positive trend, driven by several conditions including global economic recovery, growth in domestic demand, high investment in the industrial sector and controlled inflation," said Noneng Komara in Bandung, Sunday (10/12/2023) . The global economy continues to recover gradually from the pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine raised projected economic growth from 2.8 percent to 3 percent, potentially increasing global demand and lowering raw material prices. Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) Indonesia's processing industry has increased from 50.9 in 2022 to 51.7 in November 2023 driven by an increase in domestic orders, although exports are still slow Meanwhile, West Java inflation is under control within target, decreasing from 6.17 percent in February 2023 to 2.85 percent in November 2023 (yoy). With controlled inflation, people's purchasing power will increase so that domestic demand will also increase. West Java is the province with the largest export contribution from January to October 2023. Cumulatively from January to October 2023, the total trade balance of West Java recorded a surplus of 20.57 billion US dollars. Bank Indonesia estimates that the West Java economy will continue to grow positively in 2024 in the range of 4.9 percent-5.7 percent amidst global economic uncertainty. Head of Bank Indonesia West Java Representative, Erwin Gunawan Hutapea, said that a number of sectors would experience strengthening, including the agricultural and consumption sectors. "So that in the midst of these challenges in 2024, it seems we remain optimistic that in 2024 we can grow better than 2023," he said. Apart from that, he also assessed that the political contestation of the Presidential Election, Legislative Election and Regional Head Election would contribute to increasing public consumption. "Of course, this will also make the domestic economy grow higher, a phenomenon like that is when there are presidential elections, legislative elections, regional elections, the euphoria will cause higher consumption," he added. Therefore, he hopes that with maintained price stability and better consumption, it will become one of the driving forces of the economy, at least in the first quarter and fourth quarter of 2024. Erwin said there were seven policy recommendations to encourage the economic revival of West Java. The first recommendation is to expand efforts to control seasonal and structural food inflation. Second, maintaining people's purchasing power through incentives, optimizing the realization of government spending, encouraging equal distribution of investment realization and encouraging exports and local value chains for large industries. The third recommendation is to encourage accelerated development of connectivity infrastructure. Apart from that, increasing downstream industry, especially the electric vehicle industry. Fifth, expanding digitalization in various aspects of the economy. Sixth, strengthening new sources of sustainable economic growth such as the sharia financial economy and the green economy. Finally, further strengthening the pentahelix synergy and collaboration of the West Java government. "Through these various policy recommendations, Bank Indonesia estimates that the economy of West Java in 2024 has the potential to continue to grow positively in the range of 4.9 percent-5.7 percent," he said.

Jabartrust, Bandung – West Java's economy enters 2024 in a bright light. In the latest review, data shows that economic growth still radiates positive light. In the period January to September 2023, West Java investment and exports experienced a significant increase, even reaching the highest position at the national level.

With only three months remaining in 2023, West Java remains optimistic that its investment will lead nationally. The industrial sector is the main pillar of growth, accounting for more than half of total investment. Optimism for the West Java processing industrial sector next year is fueled by various factors, including global economic recovery, strong domestic demand growth and high investment in the sector. Improving global conditions also provide a breath of fresh air. With gradual recovery from the impact of the pandemic and projected economic growth increasing from 2.8 percent to 3 percent due to increasing global demand, West Java can further optimize its export potential. In addition, the stability of controlled inflation, falling from 6.17 percent to 2.85 percent in November 2023, gives hope for an increase in people's purchasing power and higher domestic demand. Not only that, West Java also made an achievement as the largest contributor to exports in the period January to October 2023, recording a surplus of US$ 20.57 billion in its Trade Balance.

Warta Ekonomi, Bandung - Lately, there have been many viral videos circulating about the world of work that are very contradictory. These videos depict the sadness of thousands of company employees who have worked for years and were laid off because the company closed. “Sad to see it all. These companies are labor intensive companies which of course number thousands of employees per company, not hundreds. "In fact, videos of workers' demonstrations are circulating demanding wage increases above PP 51/2023," explained the Chair of the West Java (Jabar) Indonesian Employers' Association (Apindo) Ning Wahyu Astutik in his official statement, Sunday (10/12/2023). Ning assesses that West Java Province has the highest investment realization compared to other provinces with an investment value of IDR 174.58 trillion or around 14.46% of the total national investment in 2022. So, with multi-helix and professional collaborative management, not only West Java is Champion, but Great West Java, Extraordinary West Java, West Java Blessings will be achieved and sustainably maintained. "But there has been a decrease in labor absorption per 1T of investment compared to previous years. This is due to the fact that incoming investors are more capital intensive with digital technology and automation," he said. Various labor-intensive industries are located in cities or districts with relatively high wages, thus triggering many relocations to other areas with more competitive wages and supporting infrastructure thereby reducing production costs, for example to Central Java. As for companies that were unable to survive, they closed permanently. Some examples of companies that closed and chose to relocate outside West Java, namely PT Dean Shoes Alas Kaki Karawang, PT Besco Indonesia Alas Kaki Karawang, PT Manito World Garment Sukabumi District, PT Eins Trend Garment Purwakarta, and PT Simone Accessary Collection (Cicadas) Garment Bogor . West Java APINDO hopes that regional heads in West Java really understand this situation so they can collaborate with stakeholders to convince entrepreneurs not to relocate. If this happens, the government suffers losses, workers suffer losses and entrepreneurs suffer many difficulties. "I emphasize more on creating conduciveness in the business world, including certainty and compliance with laws regarding wages. So the development that the President has carried out very well in West Java now, can be carried out evenly in areas where wages are still competitive, so that entrepreneurs do not relocate outside West Java," " he stressed. For this reason, West Java must transform into a capital-intensive, digital and high-tech industry. However, currently, the highest number of workers and job seekers with an educational background are elementary school graduates, followed by SMA/K, SMP, and College. So, in this period of transformation, labor-intensive industries are still very much needed. So, West Java APINDO is ready to help the government map human resource (HR) needs in various industries that invest in West Java. "Labor-intensive industries themselves have extraordinary competition, not only between countries and even between provinces, especially regarding wages," he said. Ning also said that it was time to focus on tourism, the creative economy and MSMEs.
