The Central Bangka Regency Administration in Bangka-Belitung Islands Province has set an ambitious investment target of Rp1.4 trillion (US$90 million) for this year, mirroring last year’s goal.
Wiwik Susanti, Head of the Central Bangka Investment, One-Stop Integrated Services, and Manpower Office (DPMPTK), expressed optimism that this target will be achieved by year-end.
Speaking in Koba on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 Wiwik highlighted the establishment of three new companies in the Lubuk Besar District, with a combined investment value exceeding Rp10 billion, as a key factor in meeting the target.
“We have three companies investing in the Lubuk Besar District, namely PT Sawit Indo Perlang, PT TJI Lubuk, and CV SSP Lubuk,” she said.
These companies, which are involved in the oil palm plantation sector, represent a significant portion of the region’s investment value and are expected to greatly contribute to achieving the target.
As of now, the National Single Window for Investment (NSWI) has yet to release the investment value for the second quarter of Central Bangka.
However, Wiwik remains confident that the investment target of Rp1.4 trillion set by NSWI can be exceeded, given Central Bangka’s vast potential.
“We are actively promoting Central Bangka’s potential to investors, and we believe we can surpass this target,” she said.
Investment in Central Bangka is diversified across various sectors, including mining, plantations, agriculture, fisheries, and trade.
“We continue to enhance our investment value by keeping the doors wide open for investors who wish to invest in this region,” Wiwik concluded.
