JAKARTA - Index director M Ali Mahmudin considered that investment is a key factor in order to encourage development success and open up job opportunities in the regions.
"With the challenges of fiscal capacity faced by many regions, investment is a key factor in encouraging development and opening up job opportunities," Ali said in his official statement in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Saturday, March 8.
In an online discussion of Index 2.0: The preparation of a Potential Map and Regional Investment Opportunities held in Jakarta, Thursday, March 6, Ali said that regional economic development is one of the priorities in realizing inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Indonesia.
One way, namely through a systematic mapping of investment potential.
"We together with the Ministry of Investment have compiled Ministerial Decree Number 50 concerning guidelines for the preparation of potential maps and investment opportunities in the regions. This is a strategic effort to provide data-based investment that can encourage economic growth at the regional level," he said.
According to him, mapping investment is the right step, because it is based on the spirit of President Prabowo Subianto who highlighted the magnitude of Indonesia's potential, as stated in his book Paradox Indonesia.
Indonesia's potential is extraordinary, but the fiscal challenges in the regions are still an obstacle. Therefore, investment must be a massive leverage for development in order to create jobs and attract investors to the regions," he said again.
Director of Regional Potential Development of the Ministry of Investment/BKPM Suhartono said private investment plays a crucial role in encouraging economic growth.
President Prabowo Subianto targets economic growth of 8 percent with investment realization reaching IDR 1.9 trillion by 2025. This investment is expected to be able to create more than 2.45 million jobs," he said.
According to him, equal distribution of regional potential is very important to attract investors. Related to this, BKPM has developed a Regional Investment Potential Portal (PIR), a geospatial-based system that displays investment potential and opportunities from 38 provinces and 514 districts/cities.
The portal is not only accessed by domestic investors but also attracts investors from abroad such as Qatar, UAE, Singapore, and China.
