In 2025, the Banjarmasin City Government has been given a target to attract IDR 1.9 trillion in investment. "This investment target has been set by the South Kalimantan Provincial Government," said Ariyani, Head of the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) of Banjarmasin, recently. The target remains the same as in 2024, with no increase or decrease in the figure.

The potential for investment growth is still largely dependent on the services and trade sectors. "Banjarmasin has long been known as a city of trade and services," Ariyani explained. "In addition, the tourism sector is also starting to grow." She is optimistic about meeting the provincial government's expectations by simplifying licensing processes for investors, particularly by eliminating illegal fees that have hindered businesses. "Business permits can be processed online, and completed permits will be sent via post," she added. According to data from the Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) and the South Kalimantan Investment Activity Report (LKPM) in 2024, Banjarmasin remains the economic hub of the province, with the highest number of investment projects—2,056 projects—followed by Banjar and Banjarbaru.
