Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadives held an investor meeting at the Central Building of the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) on Monday, October 13, 2025.

In the event, he invited the president directors and economists from state-owned, private, and securities companies.

Purbaya said that this was his first opportunity to meet face-to-face with investors.

"Actually, they want to know, what do I look like. Really or not? I can deliver all kinds of my policy base in the future to ensure we can create faster economic growth," he told the media crew, Monday, October 13.

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

Responding to this, Purbaya explained, 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 was the judge we resolved," he said.
