Indonesia has the opportunity to attract a large number of foreign\ninvestors. The shift in production from China opens up a major\nopportunity, but this momentum has not yet been fully exploited.<\/p>\n
The General Chairman of the Indonesian Footwear Association\n(Aprisindo), Anton J Supit, revealed that foreign investors\u2019 interest in\nIndonesia remains high. However, various domestic obstacles are making\nthem reconsider before entering.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe investment trend is that many want to enter, because they see,\nespecially, the US-China trade war. So automatically, they will reduce\nin large numbers from China,\u201d said Anton to CNBC Indonesia on Thursday\n(30\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
He explained that Indonesia is one of the alternative destinations\nafter Vietnam. However, several constraints make Indonesia\u2019s position\nnot yet fully competitive.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf asked, the main destination is always Vietnam. But again, Vietnam\nis already saturated, finding workers is difficult. Then they look at\nsecond, Indonesia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Amid this opportunity, classic problems continue to recur. From\nbureaucracy to non-technical disruptions that become inhibiting\nfactors.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if it comes to permitting services, AMDAL issues. There are\nstill disruptions from mass organisations. To be honest, if not fixed,\nthey will think twice,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n
This issue is not complex, but rather an obstacle that can actually\nbe resolved if there is firmness.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow long does it take to process AMDAL? One and a half years? A\ncompany comes, a letter from a mass organisation asking that this job be\ngiven to them,\u201d Anton revealed.<\/p>\n
This situation creates legal uncertainty that makes investors\nhesitant. Unfortunately, this condition continues to drag on.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat means this problem is legal certainty. If the law runs well,\nthere are no such threats,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
If this condition is allowed to continue, Indonesia could lose the\ngolden momentum of global industry relocation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we let it drag on too long and they have already gone to India,\nwell, that\u2019s the problem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He warned that investors who have chosen other countries usually will\nnot return.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce they go, they won\u2019t come back. So don\u2019t let the opportunity\nthat we should enjoy slip away,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/due-to-mass-organisation-and-permitting-issues-indonesia-risks-missing-out-on-the-windfall-1777539232", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
