Investment Desk to Tackle Stalled Projects in Central Java, Targeting Rp14 Trillion

JAKARTA – The Investment and Downstreaming Ministry/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has launched the Central Java Investment Desk to strengthen coordination between central and regional governments and accelerate the realisation of investment projects. Through this facility, the government is targeting the realisation of investments worth Rp14 trillion.

The launch was marked by the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Investment Ministry and the Central Java Provincial Government. The agreement covers coordination, facilitation and support for investment across Central Java, the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) and East Java.

Deputy Investment and Downstreaming Minister and Deputy Head of BKPM Todotua Pasaribu said the facility was established to bring bureaucratic services closer to regional governments and businesses, while speeding up the resolution of various investment obstacles.

“We are setting up an investment desk in Central Java to work more closely with regional government colleagues and businesses. We have also drawn up a list of projects facing bottlenecks so that licensing certainty can be expedited. In addition, we are mapping regional potential to highlight the advantages each area has to offer,” Todotua said in an official statement on Thursday (12 November 2026).

The Central Java Investment Desk is expected to oversee an investment portfolio worth Rp14 trillion through three main strategies: compiling an inventory of projects facing obstacles based on data from the Online Single Submission (OSS) system; speeding up the resolution of barriers involving multiple authorities; and improving oversight through Investment Activity Reports (LKPM) and environmental risk mitigation.
