JAKARTA - The property or housing and gold sector dominates the choice of safe investment in Makassar City.
"In order to invest, it requires security guarantees and has added value such as the property and gold sectors whose prices continue to rise from year to year," said Head Marketing Executive of PT Pegadaian Tamrin Muttakin at the Ramadan Pesona Talk Show which was held at Ratu Indah Mall, Makassar, quoted from Antara, Saturday 8 April.
According to him, from the experience of Pegadaian customers, the moment of Ramadan, there was a gold purchase that was quite high for both use and as an investment.
He said that gold investment in Pegadaian can be through gold savings and gold jewelry that has been auctioned.
Other options can buy gold in official places such as gold shopping centers in the Somba Opu Makassar area or gold companies that have trusted names such as PT Aneka Tambang Tbk which is also a state-owned company.
Meanwhile, a public figure who is also a former mayor of Makassar for two periods, H Ilham Arif Sirajuddin, said that his party as an entrepreneur prefers to choose land or property investment because the price has never dropped and even the opposite continues to rise every year.
"This land or property is a long-term investment, but for short-term investments it can choose a reliable gold savings or stock exchange," he said.
A similar choice in the property sector as a safe investment option, admitted PT GMTD Marketing Manager, Dodie Christian Kukus.
He said that as a land and property developer, it is an investment, especially in supporting the development of the city of Makassar as a hub for Eastern Indonesia.
"The property here is targeted by many people from Papua, Maluku or Ternate and other regions, this is because property in Makassar prices are promising and will continue to improve in terms of investment," he explained.
However, he continued, the principle of prudence must still be used in choosing land or property investments should not be involved in disputes or illegal matters.
