PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - The West Java Provincial Government continues to strive to increase economic growth in all sectors through increasing the investment sector.

However, investment growth in West Java is currently not evenly distributed throughout the region. This is because investment growth in East Priangan is considered to be still lagging behind growth in other West Java regions.

Therefore, Member of the West Java DPRD, Yod Mintaraga, asked the West Java Provincial Government to encourage investment in the southern part of West Java.

"Currently investment is still stagnant, economic growth in southern West Java is still low, people's purchasing power is still low. "Therefore, investment needs to be encouraged to South West Java," said Yod, last weekend.

Yod said that one thing that must be pushed forward in East Priangan is connectivity or infrastructure issues. Infrastructure will be able to be boosted and make it easier for investors to invest well and easily.

"If investment is pushed to South West Java, the risk is that infrastructure development must also be pushed to South West Java," concluded Yod. (Parno)
