Reaching Investment Potential Of Nine Regencies/Cities In South Sulawesi, DPMPTSP And Bank Indonesia Makassar Will Promote To International Entrepreneurs

MAKASSAR - Nine out of 24 regencies/cities in South Sulawesi had the opportunity to present their regional investment potential in front of the Investment and One Stop Service (DPMPTSP) and South Sulawesi Bank Indonesia (BI) representatives in Makassar, scheduled for November 9, 2022.

Head of South Sulawesi DPMPTSP Sulkaf S Latief said the nine investment projects were respectively Selayar and Bulukumba (tourism), Bone Regency (cow farming), Sinjai Regency and Parepare (port) Makassar (Japparate) to North Luwu Regency with potential for seaweed factories.

"The regional heads or representatives of each region will present the investment potential and then the best three will be selected," he said, as quoted by Antara, Sunday, November 6.

He explained that of the three potential investments, the highest value would then be proposed to IPRO and promoted to international entrepreneurs through the BI network spread across a number of countries.

According to him, initially, there were 19 regencies and cities that proposed to investment projects ready to offer (IPRO). However, after a thorough assessment, nine of them were selected to compete again in the top three and were promoted on a large scale.

He hopes that this kind of activity will increase investment in a number of areas in South Sulawesi.

Based on data from the South Sulawesi DPMPTSP, the realization of investment up to the third quarter of 2022 or during January-September 2022 exceeded the RPJMD target for the 2022 Fiscal Year for investment, which was IDR 9.99 trillion.

"Alhamdulillah, the investment value of South Sulawesi from January to September 2022 is IDR 9.991 trillion. This value exceeds our RPJMD target," said South Sulawesi Governor Andi Sudirman Sulaiman.
