The synergy between Bank Indonesia (BI) East Java, the East Java\nProvincial Government, and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) East\nJava is being strengthened to encourage quality investment as part of\nefforts to maintain sustainable regional economic growth. This\ncollaboration was realised through a High-Level Meeting of the\nInvestment Forum, the Regional Economic Growth Acceleration Team\n(TP2ED), and the Regional Financial Access Acceleration Team (TPAKD),\nheld at the Grahadi State Building in Surabaya. The forum served as a\nstrategic coordination platform between authorities to enhance\ninvestment, accelerate regional economic transformation, and promote\npublic welfare.<\/p>\n
Head of BI East Java, Ibrahim, stated that well-maintained\nmacroeconomic stability is the main asset in boosting investor\nconfidence. \u2018East Java has a strong appeal as an investment destination\nthanks to its strategic location, improving infrastructure support, and\na resilient economic structure,\u2019 he said. He added that investors are\nnot looking for perfect regions, but rather responsive, collaborative\nareas with strong commitment, all of which East Java possesses. The\nchallenge ahead is to bring in higher-quality investment that can create\nadded value, open employment opportunities, strengthen downstream\nindustries, and drive sustainable economic growth.
