        "summary": "Investment realisation in Riau Province has steadily increased in recent years, yet this growth has not been matched by sufficient infrastructure development from the central government. Riau Governor H Syamsuar highlighted that while the province's investment targets are rising, the limited central funding for infrastructure projects hampers overall progress. This disparity underscores the need for greater national support to leverage Riau's economic potential in sectors like energy and plantations.",
        "content": "<p>PEKANBARU (RIAUPOS.CO) - Investment realisation in Riau Province has\ncontinued to rise in recent years. Unfortunately, the high investment\nrealisation has not been accompanied by adequate infrastructure\ndevelopment from the central government.<\/p>\n<p>Riau Governor H Syamsuar stated that the province\u2019s investment\ntargets are increasing annually, but central government support for\ninfrastructure remains minimal. \u201cWe are grateful for the rising\ninvestment, but infrastructure from the centre to Riau is still\nlacking,\u201d said Syamsuar during a recent coordination meeting.<\/p>\n<p>According to data from the Riau Provincial Government, investment\nrealisation reached Rp 45 trillion in 2021, up from Rp 38 trillion the\nprevious year. For 2022, the target has been set at Rp 50 trillion.\nHowever, key infrastructure projects such as road improvements, port\nexpansions, and energy facilities have seen limited funding allocations\nfrom the national budget.<\/p>\n<p>Syamsuar emphasised that better connectivity and infrastructure are\nessential to attract more investors, particularly in the plantation,\nmining, and oil and gas sectors, which are Riau\u2019s mainstays. He urged\nthe central government to prioritise Riau in the national development\nagenda to ensure balanced regional growth.<\/p>",
