West Java Targets Rp271 Trillion in Investment for 2025, Prioritises Labour-Intensive Industry
BANDUNG — The West Java Provincial Government held a Coordination Meeting of the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) across West Java at Gedung Pakuan, Bandung. The meeting was chaired directly by West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi and attended by the Deputy for Investment Implementation Control at the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, the West Java Regional Leadership Communication Forum (Forkopimda), and all district/city DPMPTSP offices.
The meeting aimed to strengthen inter-agency synergy in creating a conducive investment climate and accelerating investment realisation in West Java for 2025, with a target of Rp271 trillion.
According to a report by West Java DPMPTSP Head Dedi Taufik, investment realisation in the first quarter of 2025 reached Rp68.5 trillion with labour absorption of 91,082 workers, an increase of 6.02 per cent from the same period last year.
Governor Dedi Mulyadi emphasised the importance of providing clear spatial planning and integration to support investment. He also directed that incoming investment should be inclusive and provide tangible benefits to local communities, particularly in labour-intensive industrial sectors.
The Governor highlighted the high cost of consultant fees in the licensing process for building permits (PBG), building worthiness certificates (SLF), and environmental impact assessments (Amdal), which burden investors. He called for simplification of the system and improved efficiency in licensing services, including optimal integration between the OSS, Amdalnet, and SIMBG systems.
"Investment is not just about figures, but about how to deliver a real impact on human development in West Java," he said on Friday (16/5/2025).
Dedi Mulyadi affirmed that investment promoted in West Java would prioritise the industrial sector over natural resource exploitation such as mining. "There will be no more extensions of mining permits that result in environmental damage," he stated.
Meanwhile, Dedi Taufik said various problems from districts and cities were also raised during the meeting, ranging from delays in issuing environmental documents and outstanding groundwater permits to challenges in licensing system integration.
"In accordance with the Governor's directive, the Provincial DPMPTSP is ready to provide technical support and facilitate the resolution of these issues," he said.
Dedi Taufik also noted that the Ministry of Investment representative expressed its commitment to supporting the acceleration of licensing and resolution of various obstacles in the field, as well as encouraging a more collaborative approach between central and regional governments.
"As a concrete step, integrated command posts will be established in every industrial zone, along with mapping of problems and their resolution targets," he concluded.
Through this coordination meeting, it is hoped that collaboration between central and regional governments will continue to be strengthened to make West Java a premier national investment destination.
