Investment in Central Lombok Reaches Rp 2.1 Trillion in Q1 2026

Investment value in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), has hit Rp 2.1 trillion in the first quarter of 2026. This achievement represents 51% of the target set by the NTB Provincial Government, which is Rp 4 trillion.

“For this first quarter period, the achievement has reached 51% of the target. It stands at approximately Rp 2.1 trillion up to the first quarter,” stated the Regent of Central Lombok, Lalu Pathul Bahri, to the media on Tuesday (2/6/2026).

According to Pathul, the incoming investment comprises Domestic Investment (PMDN) amounting to Rp 1.5 trillion and Foreign Direct Investment (PMA) of approximately Rp 541 billion. Accumulated together, the total investment reaches Rp 2.1 trillion.

“That is the report of investor activities up to the first quarter,” Pathul added.

Investment in the first quarter of 202cap 2026 is still dominated by the tourism sector in the Pujut, Praya Barat Daya, and Praya Barat districts. These areas remain the primary destinations for both foreign and local investors.

Pathul emphasised that the acceleration of investment in Central Lombok cannot rest on the current Rp 2.1 trillion figure alone. He urged relevant agencies to continue monitoring the investment acceleration process on the ground.

“In principle, we are encouraging investment acceleration by speeding up all investment licensing processes, provided they comply with spatial planning and basic permits are met,” Pathul explained.

The Gerindra Party politician expressed hope that the influx of investment in Central Lombok would increase Regional Original Income (PAD). This is considered vital for improving public welfare.

“Hopefully, in the future, this increase in PAD will motivate more people to invest. Because we frequently discuss the importance of revenue,” Pathul concluded.
