As many as 10.23 percent or about 31,917 households in West Sulawesi Province (Sulbar) do not yet have a home as a residence. Acting Governor of West Sulawesi, Akmal Malik in Mamuju, Wednesday said, 10.23 percent or about 31,917 of the more than 1.5 million residents of West Sulawesi do not yet have a home. He said residents who already have 310,000 households or around 89.87 percent. "Because there is still a large number of residents of West Sulawesi who do not yet have a home, there is an opportunity for investors to open investment in the property sector in West Sulawesi," said Akmal as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, March 9. According to him, the West Sulawesi government through the West Sulawesi Housing and Settlement Area Service held a property fair exhibition 2023 to attract property investment in the hope of being able to open jobs. "This is an opportunity for community settlement development actors to invest in addition to encouraging regional economic development to absorb a lot of labor and employment," he said. He asked developers to be optimistic that developers can invest in West Sulawesi to build housing because the government will continue to provide support and convenience. Head of the West Sulawesi Provincial Housing and Settlement Area Office, Syaharuddin, said the fair exhibition 2023, is a form of provincial support for all developers in West Sulawesi and to open opportunities for developers and to open opportunities for MSMEs. "As many as 24 developers are involved in these activities, and dozens of MSME actors are also involved in these activities," he said.
