BP Batam transforms services to boost investment

The Batam Concession Agency (BP Batam) in the Riau Islands is transforming its investment services by strengthening regulatory certainty, accelerating services, and improving area management to enhance Batam’s appeal to investors.

Head of BP Batam Amsakar Achmad said that increased investment must go hand in hand with improvements in service quality so that investors gain certainty in running their businesses in Batam.

“We want to ensure investors get certainty in doing business. Therefore, regulatory improvements and enhanced service quality are an important part of the transformation we continue to carry out so that investors feel safe and comfortable developing their businesses in Batam,” Amsakar said in an official statement received in Batam on Monday.

These efforts are also reflected in Batam’s investment realisation in the first half of 2026. Based on the Investment Activity Report (LKPM), investment realisation reached Rp29.89 trillion, or 42.7 percent of the Rp70 trillion target.

The realisation consisted of foreign direct investment (PMA) of Rp17.80 trillion and domestic direct investment (PMDN) of Rp12.09 trillion.

Meanwhile, based on the bottom-up method, BP Batam recorded investment realisation of Rp38.97 trillion, or 55.67 percent of the annual target.
