Palembang, The Indonesia Post – Governor of South Sumatra H. Herman Deru attended the 2023 Sumatra Multi Investment and Trade (SUMMIT) Business Focus.
“This is an interesting forum as long as we have the same determination that this is for long-term investment, which includes manpower, money circulation, good services, and also reducing unemployment,” he said.
Services, for example, after the investment has gone well, then a tax contribution is requested. Don’t be an investor just starting out but already burdened with difficult licensing but provide easy licensing and friendly service, said HD.
HD said the government as a regulator has a big role in the investment process. This can develop with fast and precise licensing patterns.
“Our task is to simplify these permits so that people are more interested in investing because South Sumatra has high investment potential but this has not had a direct impact on the community,” he said.
Sources of PAD and taxation are difficult to control, due to regulatory issues. This must be done with qualified human resources. Natural resources in South Sumatra have great potential, including rubber, palm oil and rice fields, each having its own problems.
According to him, the government must innovate to make breakthroughs in managing the potential of natural resources in South Sumatra to become ready-to-use products.
“Please advise the Ministry of Health regarding good, fast and accurate licensing services for domestic and foreign investors,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Director of Promotion and Investment of the Ministry of Investment (Kemenves)/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) of the Republic of Indonesia, Saribua Siahaan, S.Sos., M.H., M.M., appreciated the South Sumatra Provincial Government for supporting the implementation of this activity. He believes that South Sumatra will be able to become a destination for investment on a domestic and even international scale. (mhn/ril)
