In addition to affecting the economy, Ganjar assesses that this will also have an impact on investment and tourism. This was conveyed by Ganjar after attending and opening the High Level Meeting of the Economic Corridor, Trade, Investment, Central Java Tourism (Keris Jateng) in Semarang, Friday, February 17. "In my opinion, this is important because we are assigned by the President so that all regions, provinces, regencies, cities, compete to make economic improvements, look for breakthroughs so that later we don't slump," said Ganjar in an electronic message received in Jakarta. In the event, there were three messages conveyed by Ganjar. First, related to investment, he emphasized that all regions have the same commitment. "ForEST investment, this must be everything's commitment and can't wait, we have to look for it," he said. Ganjar said, regions can start looking for markets by cooperating with many parties. Including the national level, by inviting ambassadors. Our “Temen-temen kita duta besar yang sebenarnya mereka juga sangat progressif. Permbak mereka bicara, mana daerah-region di wilayah kabupaten kota, yang memang berpotensi untuk membuka ruang investasi masuk,” katanya. The second message, Ganjar continued, is still related to investment services. The former member of the DPR RI did not turn a blind eye to the potential for corruption in the investment service process. “ Don't give high fees, the integrity is maintained. Don't make it difficult, especially if you have personal interest interests. Usually, this will be related to corruption, related to gratification, this is dangerous about investment, always. Usually, corruption also occurs in the world of licensing, so I ordered this right, ” he said. Finally, Ganjar advised MSMEs to continue to be encouraged to develop. The two-term Central Java governor said that currently is an opportunity for MSMEs to advance to class. Moreover, Bank Indonesia has also helped several times. Among them, Learning Center Bawang Putih in Tuwel Village, Tegal Regency. Ganjar hopes that MSMEs in the agricultural sector can develop even more so that Central Java can soar from an economic perspective. "We are trying to encourage the city district to have superiors, continue to sell attractively and invite private business institutions to partner, then tourism activists, and hopefully after this event there will be recommendations that can be given," he said.
