The Provincial Government of West Java (Pemprov Jabar) is targeting an investment realization of IDR 270 trillion by 2025 to support the province's projected economic growth of 5.6%. "Looking at the 2025 economic growth target of 5.6%, the calculation is that our investment must reach IDR 270 trillion. This will be achieved by boosting other sectors such as exports, imports, and consumption," said Nining Yuliastini, Head of the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) in West Java, on Tuesday, February 11, 2025. In 2024, West Java's investment reached IDR 251.14 trillion, creating employment for approximately 383,000 people. With a higher target in 2025, Nining is optimistic about a significant increase in job creation.
A major area attracting investment in West Java is the Rebana region (Cirebon Raya), which offers vast land and is supported by complete infrastructure. "Since Rebana was designated as an industrial area, investment there has increased threefold," Nining explained. West Java remained the top province for investment realization in Indonesia in 2024, with foreign investment (PMA) amounting to IDR 149.5 trillion and domestic investment (PMDN) at IDR 101.54 trillion. Around 75% of the total investment is concentrated in five northern districts/cities, including Bekasi and Karawang, known for their industrial centers. Deputy Head of Bank Indonesia’s West Java Representative Office, Muslimin Anwar, believes investments will grow by 7-8% from the previous year, with the favorable political conditions post-2024 elections being a key driver. The province’s increasing global competitiveness and ease of investment processes further enhance West Java's attractiveness.
