PORTALJABAR, BEKASI REGENCY - Acting Governor of West Java Bey Machmudin invited all parties to maintain a conducive investment climate in West Java, especially in the industrial areas of Bekasi and Karawang.

"We will ensure that investors continue to invest here, and if possible, continue to increase. So we will ensure that the investment climate remains conducive," said Bey when met after attending a discussion forum for industrial area managers and business actors at the SMK Mitra Industri MM 2100 hall, Bekasi Regency, Monday (10/2/2025).

Regarding complaints from the industry against the actions of a group of community organizations (ormas), Bey asked that the actions that disrupt factory operations be stopped. His party opened the door to dialogue if there were mass organizations that wanted to convey their aspirations.

"Later we can discuss, have a dialogue as needed, what is certain is that the investment climate must remain conducive," he said.

In the discussion forum, Bey also listened to the aspirations of industrial area managers who are members of the Industrial Area Association (HKI).

They provided several inputs to the West Java Provincial Government so that more investors would invest their capital in West Java.

"Earlier, there was a lot of input from them and we will accelerate," said Bey.

He hopes that investment in West Java will continue to increase to boost economic growth and workforce absorption. So far, investment in West Java is still the highest in Indonesia with an investment value of Rp251 trillion in 2024.

"One of the keys is conduciveness," he said.
