lintaspriangan.com, WEST JAVA NEWS. Foreign investment in the Rebana area continues to show a significant surge. By 2025, realized foreign investment in this new metropolitan area of West Java is expected to reach approximately IDR 16 trillion. This figure confirms Rebana as one of the strongest investment magnets in West Java, and even nationally. Data from the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM shows that capital flows into Rebana don't come from just one country. However, there's one major player whose contribution far exceeds that of other countries. Hong Kong Becomes the Ruler of Foreign Investment in Rebana Of the total foreign investment of approximately Rp16.02 trillion, Hong Kong (PRC) emerged as the largest investor, with a value of Rp8.97 trillion. This means that more than half of the total foreign investment in the Rebana Region comes from this single jurisdiction. Apart from Hong Kong, other foreign investors in the top five are: Vietnam: Rp2.96 trillion South Korea: Rp1.46 trillion People's Republic of China: Rp1.41 trillion Singapore: Rp1.22 trillion This composition shows the strong dominance of East Asia and Southeast Asia in shaping the Rebana investment landscape. Why Does Rebana Attract Foreign Investors? The primary attraction for foreign investment in the Rebana area lies in its combination of strategic infrastructure and geographic location. The area encompasses seven regencies/cities—Subang, Majalengka, Sumedang, Indramayu, Kuningan, Cirebon Regency, and Cirebon City—which are directly connected to key logistics hubs. Some key factors that make foreign investors look at Rebana include: Patimban Port in Subang is the backbone of export-import logistics. Kertajati International Airport (BIJB) in Majalengka is the region's air gateway. The Cisumdawu and Cipali Toll Roads accelerate inter-regional connectivity. The Pantura route is the main distribution route for goods in northern West Java. With this infrastructure, Rebana is positioned as a regional and global market-oriented industrial, logistics, and manufacturing hub. Rebana in Regional and Global Value Chain Maps The entry of investors from Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Vietnam, and Singapore strengthens Rebana's position in regional and global value chains. Rebana is no longer simply a local industrial area but part of a cross-border production network. Foreign investors see Rebana as a strategic location for: processing industry, export-based manufacturing, logistics and warehousing, and downstream industrial support sectors. With an industrial area of approximately 43.9 thousand hectares, Rebana offers expansion space that is rarely found in other areas in West Java. Trillions in Investment: What Impact Will It Have on the Regions? On paper, the influx of foreign investment into the Rebana Region promises economic growth, job creation, and increased industrial activity. However, the major challenge is ensuring that the benefits of this investment truly reach the region and local communities. Several socio-economic indicators, such as the Human Development Index (HDI), remain below the West Java average in several areas of Rebana. This means that significant investment has not automatically translated into improved quality of life for residents. This is the main homework for local governments and area managers: ensuring that investment does not just stop at the realization figures, but also has a real impact on: absorption of local labor, improving human resource skills, and regional economic equality. Rebana, West Java's New Economic Engine With realized foreign investment already exceeding IDR 16 trillion, the Rebana area is now at a crucial stage. On the one hand, the area has successfully attracted the trust of global investors. On the other hand, effective management and adherence to regional interests will determine Rebana's future sustainability. If investment can translate into prosperity, Rebana will truly become a new engine of the West Java economy. However, if not, the region risks becoming merely a showcase for trillions of rupiah without any impact at the grassroots level.(HS) [SOURCE]

Bisnis.com, BANDUNG — The West Java Provincial Tourism and Culture Office is boosting the National Tourism Development Index (IPKN), which has plummeted over the past two years. Head of the West Java Culture and Tourism Office, Iendra Sofyan, stated that the IPKN is crucial for revitalizing it as a strategic step to strengthen the competitiveness of the regional tourism ecosystem, as it is a national instrument used to measure the readiness and competitiveness of regional tourism development through various cross-sectoral indicators. "Furthermore, the IPKN also serves as a barometer for the investment climate and the region's image in tourism development," he said, as quoted on Tuesday (August 17, 2026). West Java Province's IPKN in 2022 ranked 7th nationally out of 34 provinces. However, in 2024, West Java's ranking dropped to 21st nationally. In response, the Head of the West Java Tourism and Culture Office emphasized the importance of strengthening synergy and collaboration between Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPDs). "Improving IPKN achievements requires cross-sector collaboration, from providing accurate data, integrated program planning, to implementing policies that have a direct impact on improving the quality and competitiveness of regional tourism," he said. His office is currently encouraging all stakeholders, consisting of 29 relevant agencies/OPDs within the West Java Provincial Government and the West Java tourism industry, to strengthen their shared commitment to supporting sustainable and competitive tourism development, in order to improve West Java's position at the national level. Previously, the Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded a drastic increase in tourist visits to West Java Province in December 2025, a 4.89 percent increase in domestic tourist arrivals compared to the previous month. In December 2025, there were 18.53 million domestic tourist trips. Meanwhile, in November 2025, the number reached only 17.66 million trips. Accumulatedly, the number of domestic tourist trips to West Java also experienced a drastic increase. From January to December 2025, it was recorded at 211.76 million trips. This figure increased by 26.50 percent compared to the total of 167.40 million trips from January to December 2024. Throughout 2025, the highest number of trips occurred in April, with 22.52 million trips. This was due to the Eid al-Fitr holiday of 1446 Hijri. By destination, Bodebek Regency/City and Greater Bandung remain the favorites for domestic tourists. In the January-December 2025 period, Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded 31.85 million domestic tourist trips to Bogor Regency, 24.26 million trips to Bandung City, 14.44 million trips to Bekasi City, 14.24 million trips to Bandung Regency, 13.29 million trips to Bekasi Regency, and 12.16 million trips to Depok City. Furthermore, the Room Occupancy Rate (TPK) of both Star-rated and Non-Star-rated Hotels in West Java also increased in December 2025. Data shows that the ROR for December 2025 reached 45.75 percent, a 4.35-point increase compared to the previous month. Iendra revealed that his office is also collaborating with the Statistics Indonesia (BPS) to collect tourism data, which still faces several challenges. Accurate data can serve as a basis for formulating and evaluating policies. "West Java has 1,741 tourist attractions, consisting of natural attractions, man-made attractions, and cultural attractions. However, the management and recording of tourist visitation data still faces various challenges, particularly in consistent reporting and responsiveness from destination managers, particularly during major holiday periods such as Eid al-Fitr and Christmas-New Year," he concluded.

These residential and commercial products include 5enses Collection, Cendana Grand Excelsia @ The Patio, Cendana Suites @ The Patio, The Colony, Allegra @ Casa de Lago, TreeTops @ Tanamera Vantage, and The Hive @ Neo Patio. LPCK Deputy COO Lukas Budi Setiawan expressed optimism regarding investment growth and the prospects for the property industry, which is showing strong and sustainable demand trends. "LPCK is committed to maintaining consumer trust by completing construction projects on time and ensuring the handover process runs according to schedule," said Lukas. During the first nine months of last year, LPCK recorded pre-sales of IDR 1.2 trillion, equivalent to 73 percent of the annual target of IDR 1.65 trillion. The company also posted revenue of IDR 3.44 trillion, a significant 251 percent increase compared to the same period the previous year. This growth was driven by the handover of landed houses, apartments, commercial units, and industrial land, as well as contributions from the non-property segment through the management of the Lippo Cikarang Cosmopolis area. This positive performance was also reflected in EBITDA of IDR 363 billion with an 11 percent margin, and gross profit of IDR 670 billion with a 19 percent margin, demonstrating the company's success in maintaining operational efficiency and quality growth. "With the support of an increasingly solid investment climate in Bekasi Regency, along with infrastructure readiness and mature area management, we are optimistic that we can continue to play a role as a driver of regional growth while providing a quality residential and business environment for the community and businesses alike," said Lukas.

Cikarang: Property developer PT Panahome Deltamas Indonesia is optimistic about the residential and commercial prospects in the Kota Deltamas area, which is considered to be growing. This includes a new marketing gallery building in early 2026 as part of the Savasa development in Kota Deltamas. Meanwhile, from a macro perspective, eastern Jakarta remains one of the epicenters of regional economic growth. This is supported by the concentration of industrial areas, improved connectivity, stable demand for a productive workforce, and its status as a National Strategic Project. Undeniably, total investment realization in Bekasi Regency reached approximately IDR 61.8 trillion by the third quarter of 2025, making Bekasi the region with the highest investment realization in West Java. At a micro level, the development of Savasa creates an integrated residential ecosystem that integrates residential, educational, and commercial functions. This ecosystem drives increasing demand that adapts to residents' activities while also offering the potential for long-term returns. Going forward, the area will continue to be developed through the provision of supporting facilities, ranging from green areas and thematic parks to strengthening commercial areas such as CO Square and SAVASA Point. All developments are designed to improve the quality of life while strengthening the area's value. "Entering 2026, market demand is now focused not only on residential properties but also on commercial assets capable of generating sustainable income. We are preparing Savasa as an area ready to grow with investors," said Taishi Inagaki, President Director of PT Panahome Deltamas Indonesia, in a written statement on Friday, February 6, 2026. In terms of accessibility, the Savasa area is approximately five minutes from several major toll gates, including Km 37, Km 42, and the Jakarta-Cikampek Selatan Toll Road Km 31. This location is also close to the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train Station. 2026 Area Development In early 2026, the developer positioned CO Square as a flagship commercial product in the Deltamas CBD area. This product features an alfresco shophouse concept with a double-facade design intended to support business activities in the food and beverage, lifestyle retail, and service sectors. Furthermore, development of area facilities is also continuing, including green open spaces, sports fields, and plans to build worship facilities and a themed park. Based on internal company data, rental prices for housing units in the area have reached up to IDR 250 million per year. "This concept is considered relevant to the needs of modern businesses such as F&B, lifestyle retail, and experience-based businesses. From an investment perspective, our new product has several unique selling points," said Inagaki. This year, SAVASA is continuing the development of area facilities, including green open spaces, a basketball court in Grande Park, and, in the future, a prayer room and a four-season themed park. This development marks the area's increasingly established phase, as this is a crucial factor in reducing property investment risk. "The combination of a continuously growing area, targeted commercial products, and a strong supporting ecosystem are the main foundations for building investor confidence in Savasa," said Inagaki.

"We view collaboration between the local government and the business world as the key to sustainable, measurable development that provides broad benefits to the community," he said. He hopes that the construction of the Campaka Interchange will not only facilitate transportation flow but also become a driver of economic growth, job creation, and increased regional competitiveness.

JABARNEWS | PURWAKARTA – The investment of PT Megatama Putra Sejahtera (PT MPS) has become a focus of attention for Purwakarta Regent Saepul Bahri Binzein, also known as Om Zein, following the signing of a cooperation agreement for the construction of the Campaka Interchange at KM 77+800 of the Cikopo–Palimanan (Cipali) Toll Road on Friday, January 30, 2026. Om Zein believes that PT MPS' investment in Purwakarta will have a significant impact on regional economic growth, particularly through the development of a new 350-hectare industrial area integrated with toll road access. "The 2025 investment target was IDR 11.2 trillion, and IDR 12.4 trillion has been realized. I am confident that with this industrial area (built by PT MPS), investment realization in 2026 will exceed IDR 12.4 trillion," said Om Zein in Cijunti Village, Campaka District, Friday (January 30, 2026). The signing of the Joint Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Cooperation Agreement (Agreement) between the Purwakarta Regency Government and PT Megatama Putra Sejahtera is part of the region's strategy to increase connectivity and attract investment. The Cipali Toll Road interchange is designed as the main access to the new industrial area in Purwakarta. According to Om Zein, the existence of the industrial area and supporting infrastructure not only strengthens Purwakarta's position as an investment destination in West Java but also provides a concrete solution to the employment problem. "Of the approximately 38,000 unemployed, we hope that around 35,000 can be absorbed through this industrial area," he emphasized. He emphasized the importance of transparency from companies, including investor PT MPS, in communicating workforce competency needs to village, sub-district, and community governments early on. "Tell the community, village heads, and sub-district heads what competencies the industry requires. From now on, the community can begin training and preparing themselves," said Om Zein. Om Zein also asked every investor entering Purwakarta to actively coordinate with the Manpower Office, sub-district heads, and village heads to ensure optimal absorption of local labor. "Give the people of Purwakarta, Campaka, and Cijunti opportunities to work according to their competencies. Never stop training our people," he said. Meanwhile, Djatikesumo Subagio, Director of PT Megatama Putra Sejahtera, called the construction of the Cipali Toll Interchange a strategic step to accelerate the growth of the industrial area and the regional economy. "This infrastructure will open wider access for economic growth and present new opportunities for investment, industry, logistics, and other productive sectors in Purwakarta and the surrounding area," said Djatikesumo. He emphasized PT MPS's commitment to carrying out its cooperation professionally, transparently, and responsibly as part of a collaboration between the business community and the local government. "We view collaboration between local governments and the business world as key to sustainable, measurable development that provides broad benefits to the community. We are committed to carrying out this role professionally, transparently, and responsibly," he concluded. [SOURCE]

KARAWANG, TINTAHIJAU.COM – The West Java Provincial Government signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with PT Deli Indonesia Office Technology regarding cooperation to accelerate industrial development in West Java. The signing was carried out by West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi at SMKN 1 Karawang on Wednesday (January 28, 2026). At the same location, the West Java Provincial Government also signed an MoU with PT CBL Solusi Logistik regarding the development of the Cikarang-Bekasi Laut Inland Waterways route, as part of a strategy to strengthen logistics connectivity and reduce industrial distribution costs. The Governor, familiarly known as KDM, emphasized that the influx of large investments must have a direct impact on local employment and strengthening vocational education. "Every new company in West Java must prioritize local residents for recruitment. Industry shouldn't just be established, it must also improve community welfare," he stressed. KDM stated that vocational high school students are given the opportunity for three months of industrial work experience. Upon graduation, they can be recruited directly without additional selection if they meet company standards. This step is seen as a concrete effort to align industry needs with the educational world (link and match), while simultaneously reducing the unemployment rate of vocational high school graduates, which has long been a structural problem in industrial areas. Furthermore, the West Java Provincial Government is also preparing a program to improve human resource competitiveness through foreign language courses for 40 students from SMKN 1 Karawang. "20 students are learning Mandarin and 20 students English. There's a lot of investment from China, and they need translators. Six months is enough to provide basic work communication," said KDM. The training will be fully funded by the West Java Provincial Government and will last for six months. Furthermore, KDM reminded investors to comply with labor regulations, including regarding wages. Karawang Regency currently has the highest minimum wage in West Java at IDR 5.88 million. US$150 Million Investment, Absorbing 3,000 Workers PT Deli Indonesia Office Technology is scheduled to begin construction of an office equipment factory in March 2026, producing attendance machines, paper shredders, and office stationery. The President Director of PT Deli Indonesia, Huang Le, stated that the project is targeted for completion in 2027, with an investment of approximately US$150 million, equivalent to Rp2.3 trillion. "We have been preparing recruitment efforts from the start to ensure that incoming human resources match industry needs. When fully operational, the factory will employ around 3,000 workers," he said. The principal of SMKN 1 Karawang, H. Rosli, welcomed the policy connecting schools with the industrial world. "Third-grade students will graduate in May, so we are starting to prepare them through internships. This includes alumni who are still looking for work," he said. One student, Adam Gumelar, expressed optimism about the collaboration because it provides certainty about their career path after graduation. In addition to the manufacturing sector, the West Java Provincial Government is also promoting the transformation of the logistics system through the construction of the Cikarang-Bekasi Laut Inland Waterways. "This sea canal runs from Babelan to Tanjung Priok, and will eventually reach Patimban Port. This is a traffic-free and more efficient alternative for freight transportation," explained KDM. According to him, this project is crucial for reducing dependence on land routes, which have been a source of congestion and high logistics costs in the Karawang-Bekasi industrial area. The West Java Provincial Government is not allocating funds for this collaboration, but is providing licensing support to logistics companies. KDM is also encouraging SMKN 1 Karawang to open a logistics or maritime major to create a local talent pipeline ready to meet the needs of the maritime transportation sector and supporting industries. "Industry, education, and infrastructure must work together. If integrated, Karawang and West Java can become strong and sustainable industrial centers," he concluded. [SOURCE]
