HKI Formulates Solutions to Accelerate Investment

The Indonesian Industrial Estates Association (HKI) has formulated a number of strategic solutions to accelerate the realisation of national investment whilst strengthening the competitiveness of industrial estates amid global dynamics.

HKI Chairman Akhmad Makruf Maulana said the recommendations were the outcome of HKI’s 25th National Working Meeting (Rakernas), held in Jakarta on 30-31 July 2026.

In a statement confirmed in Jakarta on Monday, Ma’ruf said his side believes the main investment challenge facing Indonesia today is no longer merely attracting investor interest, but ensuring that committed investments can be realised promptly.

This is because Indonesia possesses considerable assets to become one of the most competitive investment destinations in Asia, ranging from a large domestic market and a demographic bonus to abundant natural resources and a strategic position in global supply chains.

He said the recommendations cover regulatory harmonisation, accelerated completion of permits, stronger certainty in spatial planning and land affairs, improved reliability of energy supply, enhanced connectivity, and strengthened institutions for resolving investment obstacles.

“HKI wants to be a strategic partner of the government in ensuring that investments already secured are truly realised and deliver the greatest possible benefit to the public,” said Makruf.
