Regent Dedi Mulyadi said investments had reached Rp45-50 trillion from the development of three major factories; PT Indorama Synthetics, PT South Pacific Viscose and PT Indo-Bharat Rayon. The rest came from scores of new factories in the garment, automotive and cattle farming sectors.

New companies and the development of big factories is also expected to create jobs in the region. “I’m estimating 30,000 new workers will be hired,” Dedi told Tempo yesterday.
