West Java Secures Rp76.8 Trillion in Investment, Dedi Mulyadi Emphasises Conducive Business Climate - Bandung
Bisnis.com, BANDUNG — West Java’s investment realisation in the first quarter of 2026 reached Rp76.8 trillion, contributing approximately 15.4% to the national total investment. The West Java Provincial Government assesses that this achievement needs to be maintained through strengthening a conducive business climate.
West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi emphasised that the regional government is committed to acting as a catalyst for business actors to encourage more optimal investment realisation.
“If there are obstacles, I like to accompany entrepreneurs in communicating with various agencies, including meeting with ministers to discuss existing problems,” he said at Gedung Pakuan, Bandung, on Thursday (23/4/2026).
On the other hand, the investment realisation in the downstream sector in West Java was recorded at Rp13 trillion in the same period, placing the province in third position nationally. This achievement is still below Central Sulawesi (Rp24.1 trillion) and North Maluku (Rp18.6 trillion), but higher than West Nusa Tenggara (Rp12.9 trillion) and Riau Islands (Rp9.6 trillion).
Nationally, downstream investment is still dominated by regions outside Java with a portion of 75.5% or equivalent to Rp111.4 trillion. Nevertheless, West Java’s contribution is considered significant as a base for manufacturing and processing industries.
Dedi emphasised that the sustainability of investment is largely determined by three main factors, namely infrastructure connectivity, security stability, and ease of permitting. “The hope is that this is one of the things that continues to drive infrastructure connectivity, security, and all permitting that must not be complicated,” he said.
According to him, the approach taken by the regional government is starting to show results, including through the tightening of mining permits and the construction of housing in disaster-prone areas. He mentioned that the violation rate in the investment process is now tending to decrease.
“Now it’s relatively getting better, the violation rate is decreasing, unlike the first year,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) of West Java, Dedi Taufik, stated that the regional government continues to promote investment ease, one of which is through strengthening inter-regional connectivity.
“West Java remains committed to attracting investment. First, the Governor provides incentives by building road connectivity,” he said.
In addition, the West Java Provincial Government is also opening opportunities for investors who are committed to environmental conservation. The tourism sector is mentioned as one of the development focuses along with improvements in road infrastructure quality.
“Besides that, we continue to provide permitting ease,” he said.
