Presidential Chief of Staff Dr. Moeldoko said that the incomplete spatial problems had hampered the improvement of the investment ecosystem and business activities. In fact, investment is the main capital to encourage higher, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth. "This investment growth is urgently needed to strengthen our economic growth. Moreover, the threat of recession is in sight. Currently, twenty-eight countries are queuing up to become IMF patients," said Moeldoko, on the commemoration of Spatial Planning Day (Hantaru) 62nd, and the 35th Anniversary of the West Java Land Deed Making Officials Association (IPPAT), in Bandung, Saturday 15 October. For information, the 2020-2024 RPJMN provides an investment target of IDR 4,983 trillion. As of June 2022, investment realization is still at IDR 584.6 trillion. In 2023, the government targets investment realization of IDR 1,400 trillion. Moeldoko said the government had improved the investment climate through various instruments. Among them is the Job Creation Law, which regulates the simplification of business licensing. However, he continued, implementation in the field is still not optimal, especially regarding land space utilization activities or what used to be known as location permits. He gave an example of the non-intertegation of the Detailed Spatial Plan (RDTR) with the Online Single Submission (OSS) RBA. Until now, explained Moeldoko, from the RPJMN target of 1,838 RDTR, only 108 have been integrated with OSS-RBA. This is because many local governments have not digitized their regional spatial planning. "This causes a difference in the process between the integrated RDTR OSS-RBA, and the manual RDTR. And of course this issue is also an obstacle for notary ladies and gentlemen," said Moeldoko. The 2013-2015 TNI Commander assessed that solving spatial problems is not only the task of the central government, but also local governments, both at the provincial and district/city levels. "This problem is very multidimensional, for that the solution must also be done comprehensively," said Moeldoko. "The Presidential Staff Office will certainly continue to oversee and debottlenecking blockages in the field," he concluded.
