JAKARTA - The government through the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) said it would rebuild the Palu Industrial Estate facilities which were damaged by the 2018 earthquake.
The Director-General of Regional Resilience and International Industrial Access of the Ministry of Industry Eko Cahyanto said the impact of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Palu City four years ago on infrastructure in the Palu Industrial Estate caused the management office building to be badly damaged and unusable.
"On March 16, 2022, we have held a group discussion forum (FGD) which agreed that the central and regional governments will jointly rehabilitate or rebuild a number of infrastructure facilities in the Palu Industrial Area," he said in a press release today, Monday, March 21.
According to Eko, currently, service activities and industrial estate offices have been moved and carried out in temporary offices, while research activities have had to be stopped.

For information, the City of Palu until the end of 2021 has managed to get an investment realization of IDR 281.6 billion. Now, there are 5 industries that produce in the industrial area and 3 industries that are still in the construction process as well as 27 other potential companies that will invest in Palu.
"Therefore, in order to anticipate the development and dynamics of investment, it is very important that the infrastructure in the Palu Industrial Estate is rehabilitated immediately," he said.
Eko himself is trying to support the development budget to be implemented in 2023 and not be delayed any longer.
"The Palu Industrial Area can be a buffer zone for the Capital of the Archipelago (IKN), especially in supporting the food needs of the community," concluded Eko.
