Lower Target Does Not Mean Sluggish, Kaltara Instead Strengthens Manufacturing Industry Foundations

Tanjung Selor – North Kalimantan Province (Kaltara) continues to solidify its position as an investment magnet in Indonesia’s Region 5. Although there is an adjustment to the 2026 investment target due to regional economic dynamics, Kaltara’s attractiveness is deemed resilient.

The Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) projects Kaltara’s investment target at Rp 30.55 trillion, a figure that places the province among those with the highest targets in its region, contributing 1.5 percent to the national target.

In efforts to achieve this ambitious target, the Kaltara Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) is now tightening supervision of operating companies, particularly regarding compliance in submitting Investment Activity Reports (LKPM). Rahman revealed that some large companies are still not disciplined in reporting, which becomes one of the obstacles in maximising investment realisation records. Going forward, intensive supervision will continue to ensure all investment data is documented accurately, on time, and in accordance with applicable regulations.

In line with the Governor of Kaltara’s directives, the government is committed to providing prime services to prospective investors through a faster and more transparent online-based permitting system. In addition to bureaucratic ease, the provision of data access and exclusive guidance for investors also becomes a key strategy to maintain a conducive investment climate. With these various facilities, the Kaltara Provincial Government is optimistic about maximising the region’s potential and proving that Kaltara remains a reckoned investment destination on the national stage.
