        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has instructed the removal of regulatory barriers that hinder investment flows in Indonesia, emphasising the need for rules that support rather than obstruct quality job creation. This directive follows strong first-quarter 2026 investment realisation of Rp498.79 trillion, surpassing targets and boosting employment by 18.93 percent year-on-year. Rosan Perkasa Roeslani highlighted sustained foreign interest from Japan, South Korea, and China, urging alignment of Indonesian regulations with ASEAN and OECD standards to accelerate processes amid global uncertainties.",

The head of state emphasized that investment\nmust also create good, correct, and quality jobs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t let our regulations actually hinder. Our regulations that\nactually hinder. Pertek-pertek also has to, said the President, that is,\nif it hinders, there is no need,\u201d said Rosan.<\/p>\n<p>The technical permit in question is a technical approval, namely a\ndocument or recommendation from ministries and agencies that is usually\nneeded before permits or projects can run. In the field, this stage is\noften complained about by business actors because it makes the\ninvestment process longer.<\/p>\n<p>The message came out when the realization of investment in the first\nquarter of 2026 was recorded at Rp498.79 trillion or 100.36 percent of\nthe target of Rp497 trillion. This achievement increased by 7.22 percent\ncompared to the same period last year. Labor absorption also reached\n706,569 people, or grew 18.93 percent year-on-year.<\/p>\n<p>Rosan said the government was asked to compare the rules in Indonesia\nwith ASEAN countries and OECD standards, a group of developed countries\nthat serve as a reference for economic policies. Therefore, the\ngovernment is asked to accelerate the investment process by reducing\nrules that are considered to slow down licensing.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that foreign investor interest was still high even\nthough the global situation was overshadowed by war, geopolitics, and\ngeoeconomics. During his visit to Singapore, China, Korea, and Japan,\nRosan claimed to have found a large investment commitment.<\/p>\n<p>He gave an example of the investment potential from Japan approaching\nUS$30 billion, while from South Korea more than US$10 billion. China,\nsaid Rosan, also continues to show strong investment interest.<\/p>",
