According to Heru, the DKI Jakarta DPMPTSP continues to encourage various strategies to maintain Jakarta's position as the largest investment destination, ranging from optimizing the Public Service Mall (MPP), accelerating the digitization of licensing and non-licensing services, to integrated investment assistance.
In addition, the DKI Provincial Government also strengthened data-based investment promotion through the preparation of investment potential maps and the development of Investment Project Ready to Offer (IPRO) projects.
