In the discussion, investors expressed concern about the unimproved investment climate in Indonesia.

Responding to this, Purbaya explained that the main obstacle lies in the licensing sector, which according to him has become an old problem and is not in his authority to be corrected directly.

"One of their concerns is that the investment climate here is not good, what is my way of improving it. So I said with them earlier for the investment, it's already a permit, it's been decades, we can't fix it," he explained.

He added that in a system, service reforms had actually been carried out through the implementation of one-door integrated services (PTSP) and Online Single Submission (OSS). However, obstacles still remain in the field.

As a solution, Purbaya emphasized the need for the formation of the Team for the Acceleration of the Superior Development Program which is planned to be formed by the Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto.

After this team was formed, he committed to directly handling complaints and problems from business actors and investors.

"After that is there, then we will run quickly, where I will receive complaints from business people. From there we will break it, I will hold cases every one day in one week I will dedicate to declare the case there. So people can complain there, I will clean it up. The one who complained, the one who was complained, I'm the judge we will solve it. , "he said.
