After Being Inaugurated As Minister Of Investment, Rosan Roeslani Must Complete Several Homeworks
JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has just appointed Rosan Roeslani as Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) replacing Bahlil Lahadalia who was appointed as Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources.
Director of the Center of Economic and Law Studies (CELIOS), Bhima Yudhistira said that under the leadership of the Minister of Investment/Head of the new Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Roeslani, there are several homeworks that must be completed, namely accelerating investment realization which is still stalled at around Rp. 149 trillion in 2024 by preparing strategies and forming a more progressive investment acceleration team.
"To accelerate the realization of investment that is still stalled in the Jokowi era of around Rp. 149 trillion in 2024, although the time is limited due to changing to Prabowo, there is time to prepare strategies and form a progressive investment acceleration team," he explained in his statement, Monday, August 19.
In addition, Bhima added that strategic steps are needed to increase the promotion of higher quality investments in the restorative economy sector, and renewable energy. With an increase in quality investment commitments, it is hoped that job creation in the regions can be better.
Furthermore, the homework that Rosan Roeslani needs to complete is that it can help the finance ministry to formulate tax spending or tax incentives that are right on target.

"It is necessary to ensure that investments that receive tax reductions have a positive impact on employment absorption, and the positive impact on the environment around the investment area," he said.
Bhima assessed that it is necessary to involve the role of local governments (Pemda) more intensively, especially in mineral downstream investment decisions because so far the role of local governments is less active.
"So far, local governments have been less active in the era of the Job Creation Law even though the investment effect is also borne by the regional government," he concluded.
