JAKARTA - Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) is ready to provide land for Tesla CEO and SpaceX Elon Musk to invest in Indonesia.

AHY said, basically his party wants to participate in building a good, healthy and competitive investment climate.

He didn't want the capital to move, it only exists in countries around Indonesia. In fact, he said, Indonesia has everything that can be an attraction.

According to him, the responsibility of the Ministry of ATR/BPN is to ensure that the land to be used or prioritized for investment is in a ready condition.

In addition, AHY said that land for infrastructure buildings, be it residential areas or commercial centers, could also be in a ready condition.

"We also have to make sure that the land is ready, clean and clear. Don't let investors be ready, the land is not clear," AHY said when met at the 10th World Water Forum at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center, Wednesday, May 22.

Even so, continued AHY, his party has not yet had further discussions about land for Elon Musk to invest in Indonesia. "We haven't talked about it yet," he added.

Previously, the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) said his ministry would be ready to provide legal certainty on land to global investors from any country. One of them is like for SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk officially started a trial of the Starlink internet service at the Sumerta Klod Assistant Health Center, Denpasar, Bali, on Sunday, May 19, 2024.

With the entry of this service, it is hoped that the Ministry of ATR/BPN will in the future support the certainty of global investors from the land side and so on.

"So, again, the basic principle is that we are happy if there are (foreign investors). Let alone Elon Musk, a figure who is known and influential in the world as an entrepreneur, but also an intellectual and visionary person who has such a wide reach. Anyone in Indonesia, any country who wants to invest through investment in Indonesia, of course we accept it well," said AHY when met by reporters at the Bali International Convention Center, Nusa Dua, Bali, Monday, May 20.
