JAKARTA - The Ministry of Investment / Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) ensures that the government is ready to provide incentives both fiscal and non-fiscal to support the entry of green investment.

Director of Promotion for ASEAN Region, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Ministry of Investment/BKPM Saribua Siahaan said that the incentives provided were not always in the form of tax breaks but also in the form of conveniences.

"Incentives are not always taxed, as well as incentives. For example, green line in importing goods as well as incentives," he said in an Attractive Green Investment Potential and Incentive Design webinar monitored online in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, September 21.

According to Saribia, in providing easy imports of goods, investors used to have a track record two or three times before getting it.

Namun, sekarang, investor baru pun bisa mendapatkan kemudahan impor barang untuk bahan baku atau barang modal untuk mendorong realisasi investasi mereka." Kalau mesin cepat datang, semakin bisnis itu berjalan, jadi itu juga insentif," katanya.

Especially in the green investment sector, Saribia said the Ministry of Investment pays great attention to green investment, especially because of its extraordinary potential in Indonesia.

"The government is now concerned about creating a system so that investors who are interested in this field really think about environmental impacts," he said.

Nevertheless, Saribia said incentives in the sectors that support the green economy cannot be generalized because cases per case must be viewed (case by case).

"There are rules. That can be seen in case by case. There is a smart book. But basically, the government is very concerned about regulating the investment licensing system so that investors have certainty, easy, fast and we are ready to be the entry point for investors to inform potential, regulations and oversee investor plans who are interested in investing in Indonesia," said Saribia.
