Paser Regional Parliament Consults Investment Ministry on Draft Regulation for Business Incentives
TANA PASER - Special Committee (Pansus) III of the Paser Regional Parliament (DPRD) conducted a working visit to the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) of the Republic of Indonesia on 10 July. The purpose of the visit was to consult on a Draft Regional Regulation (Raperda) concerning the Provision of Business Incentives and Facilitation, which is currently being deliberated at the regional level.
The Pansus III delegation was led by Abdul Aziz, accompanied by legislative members Ranianto, Acong Asfiyek, Sri Nurdiyanti, and Nur Hayati. Also in attendance were Sutrisno, a Senior Investment Management Expert from the Paser One-Stop Integrated Services and Investment Office (DPMPTSP), and Head of the Economic and Development Division, Faulus Margita.
Abdul Aziz said the consultation was conducted to obtain guidance and constructive input from the relevant ministry. "So that the draft regulation being prepared can align with national policy and provide optimal benefits for the region," Abdul Aziz explained on Sunday (13 July 2025).
He stated that BKPM officials assessed the Paser Regency draft regulation as having a sufficiently sound structure and substance. "The draft, reviewed article by article, is quite comprehensive in terms of enhancing investment competitiveness and creating a conducive business climate for both local and external business players," he added.
The draft regulation has reportedly undergone a lengthy deliberation process, with the strategic objective of attracting investors to Paser Regency. Abdul Aziz noted that refinement of both the academic paper and the regulatory articles would continue to ensure the regulation is truly applicable and adaptive to the dynamics of the business world.
"Refinement of this draft regulation will continue by incorporating various inputs, so that the resulting regulation is not merely normative but capable of attracting investors and delivering tangible benefits," he stressed.
Abdul Aziz emphasised that increasing investment is not solely an economic matter but also concerns public welfare. With more investors entering the region, it is expected that there will be an increase in Locally Generated Revenue (PAD) as well as the creation of new employment opportunities for the community.
"This is not merely about regulation, but about the future of the regional economy. With incoming investment, we are opening space for inclusive and sustainable development," he concluded.
