Investment in Kuningan Regency Surpasses Target, Reaching Rp16 Trillion in 2024
Kuningan - Investment flows in the Rebana region, particularly in Kuningan Regency, showed a positive trend throughout 2024. Based on data from the Kuningan Regency Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), the 2024 investment value exceeded its target. The figure comprised Rp16.03 trillion in domestic investment (PMDN) and Rp395.444 billion in foreign investment (PMA). These numbers far surpassed the regional government's target of Rp1.85 trillion, which consisted of a PMDN target of Rp1.572 trillion and a PMA target of Rp227 billion.
The Head of Kuningan Regency's DPMPTSP, Asep Budi, stated that this achievement was the result of the region's investment focus on the tourism and agriculture sectors, in line with the policy direction of the Kuningan Regency Long-Term Regional Development Plan (RPJPD). One notable plan involves PLN investment in Kuningan Regency, specifically in the Cilebak sub-district.
"The PLN investment plan in Kuningan Regency, specifically in Cilebak sub-district — the Rp16 trillion figure was obtained from the OSS Application managed by BKPM RI/the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industries. Beyond that, investment has indeed reached its target. We are focusing investment in the tourism and agriculture sectors. This year's target has also increased from the 2024 figure of Rp1.8 trillion to Rp1.9 trillion. The target is set by the province. Now in 2025, it's only May, and we've probably already reached around 40 per cent of the target. For 2023, we also exceeded the target," said Asep on Friday (16 May 2025).
Despite exceeding the target, investment in Kuningan still faces obstacles, one of which is the incomplete revision of the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) and the Detailed Spatial Plan (RDTR). "Kuningan already has an RTRW, but it dates from 2011. It is currently undergoing revision to align with the Provincial and National RTRW. There are several items that have not yet been resolved and will need to be adjusted. This will serve as our guide for attracting investment. Once the RTRW is in place, there will be a more specific RDTR," said Asep.
In addition to the incomplete RTRW and RDTR revisions, other investment challenges in Kuningan include accessibility, geographical location, and workforce readiness. Asep noted that there are many benefits to be gained from increased investment in Kuningan Regency. According to him, investment can reduce unemployment and poverty whilst boosting the regional economy.
"When investment is created in a region, it will affect future welfare, protect assets, anticipate inflation and economic stability, reduce unemployment and poverty, and develop a diversified economic base," said Asep.
To boost investment in 2025, his agency plans to undertake several measures, including holding more frequent meetings with investors, creating special investment packages, and providing regulatory ease for investors.
