        "content": "<p>The Indonesian Industrial Estates Association (HKI) has expressed\nappreciation for President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s initiative in establishing\nthe De-Bottlenecking Task Force to overcome various investment obstacles\nin Indonesia. HKI considers the formation of this task force as a\nstrategic breakthrough to accelerate the realisation of national\ninvestment, especially in addressing challenges faced by business\nactors, ranging from administrative issues to practices that harm\ninvestors. \u201cThe presence of this Task Force will serve as a catalyst in\ncreating a more efficient, transparent, and competitive investment\necosystem,\u201d said HKI General Chairman Akhmad Maruf Maulana, quoted from\na press release received on Thursday (2\/4). Amid global dynamics,\nincluding geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and world economic\nuncertainty, HKI sees this situation as an opportunity for Indonesia to\nattract global industrial relocation. According to HKI, the trend of\nglobal supply chain diversification must be optimally utilised by\nensuring the readiness of competitive industrial estates. This includes\nthe availability of infrastructure, regulatory certainty, as well as\nfast and efficient licensing processes. Nevertheless, HKI highlights the\npersistence of several structural barriers, particularly at the regional\nlevel. Some of these include convoluted permitting, lack of\nsynchronisation between agencies, delays in administrative services, and\nuncertainty in spatial planning. Ma\u2019ruf emphasised the importance of\nmaintaining integrity in the implementation of investment policies. He\nreminded that there should be no practices that hinder the investment\nprocess, including the misuse of government or presidential names, so\nthat the investment climate remains conducive. \u201cThere are still various\naspects in the investment process that need attention and joint\nimprovement to maintain investor perception and trust,\u201d he stated. Maruf\nalso assessed that Indonesia needs to change its approach in facing\nglobal uncertainty by being more proactive and adaptive. \u201cAmid various\nobstacles, there are always opportunities. The current geopolitical\nsituation must be used as a momentum to improve while accelerating steps\nto attract global investment. The key is execution speed, regulatory\ncertainty, and the courage to resolve field-level barriers,\u201d he\nasserted. HKI reaffirmed its commitment to continue synergising with the\ncentral and regional governments to ensure effective policy\nimplementation, while strengthening the role of industrial estates as\nthe engine of sustainable national economic growth.<\/p>",
