Nagan Raya Regency's Efforts to Maintain Investment Climate Yield Positive Results

The Nagan Raya Regency Government’s efforts to issue various regulations and investment facilities have yielded positive results, with investment value reaching Rp406.33 billion by mid-2026, dominated by the plantation sector. “The main pillars supporting this investment include the CPO processing industry, oil palm plantations, and various other supporting sectors,” said Nagan Raya Regent Teuku Raja Keumangan in a statement on Wednesday. The Nagan Raya Regency Government has consistently maintained a conducive investment climate by providing service certainty, ease of doing business, and legal protection for businesses investing officially and in accordance with regulations. Data from the Nagan Raya DPMPTSP also recorded that throughout the first quarter of 2026, there were 452 business projects with an investment value of Rp406.33 billion. In 2023, investment value in the region surpassed Rp3.7 trillion, an increase of approximately 42 percent compared to 2022, which was around Rp2.6 trillion. According to data from the Aceh Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP), Nagan Raya was the largest contributor to investment realisation in Aceh during the fourth quarter of 2025, with a realisation of Rp336.18 billion, or 26.75 percent of Aceh’s total investment. Entering the first quarter of 2026, Nagan Raya remained at the top, with investment realisation reaching Rp310.56 billion, or 20.76 percent of Aceh’s total. Regent Teuku Raja Keumangan welcomed the increase, stating that consistent investment growth reflects rising business confidence in the region. “For us, investment is not just a figure in a report. Investment must open jobs, drive the people’s economy, strengthen regional income, and provide real benefits for the people of Nagan Raya,” he said. He added that the regency government is open to healthy investment, but the principle is clear: investment must comply with regulations, respect the environment, involve local workers, and add value to the region. He stressed that the community must be a central part of every economic growth, not merely spectators but active participants who feel the positive impact of incoming investment. With these achievements and growing investment opportunities, Nagan Raya is considered to have significant momentum to strengthen its role as a new economic growth centre in the western-southern region of Aceh. The Nagan Raya Regency Government, under his leadership, is committed to making the region an investment-friendly area with good, open governance that remains on the side of the community.
