SIX MONTHS Ago, Central Sulawesi, especially in Palu, Sigi,
Donggala and Parigi Moutong experienced natural disasters, but it did not
reduce the interest of prospective investors to invest their capital.

This can be seen from the number of investment
stock net currently, which amounts to more than Rp53,020 trillion. From the
investment net stock, Central Sulawesi must strive to realize a total of
Rp20.08 trillion or 37.87 percent in 2019.

Governor H Longki Djanggola said that after the
September 28 disaster the National Development Planning Agency predicted that
Central Sulawesi’s economic growth would decline to 1.75 percent, but in
reality the economy grew at 6.30 percent, slightly slowing compared to 2017’s
economic growth of 7.16 percent.

“Natural disasters do not reduce the interest
of potential investors to invest in Central Sulawesi. This can be seen from the
current figure of investment net stock, which amounts to IDR
53,020,770,200,000. from the investment stock net, Central Sulawesi seeks to
realize Rp20.08 trillion or 37.87 percent in 2019.

“Governor H Longki
Djanggola said at the opening of the Regional Investment Forum in 2019, Tuesday
(9/4), in Palu.

According to Longki, this proves that Central
Sulawesi’s economy is still running well. Improving economic growth is
inseparable from various investment activities.

Central Sulawesi Province is one of the investment
destination areas that many investors are interested in. For this reason, it
must always strive to provide comfort for investors who invest in this area.

“This area is one of the prima donna, an
attractive investment destination for domestic and foreign investors,”
said the governor.

This forum, the governor continued, is expected to
be a means of exchange of ideas between investors and the government and vice
versa related to the problems faced.

“We inventory, if there is no responsibility
in us, it will be mediated to the relevant ministries,” he said,
questioning the problems.

In order to materialize, Governor Longki asked
investors to comply with the obligations specified in the RI BKPM Head
Regulation No. 7 of 2018.

On the other hand, the investment companies are
also reminded by the governor not to win themselves.
In a sense, do not avoid social responsibility
both in maintaining government assets and participation in empowering the
community.

He exemplified that there were a lot of seeing
regional roads which became the economic lifeblood, in fact the condition was
alarming because too many trucks were traveling back and forth carrying the
company’s cargo in very large volumes.

“Don’t just damage it but don’t want to
contribute (participate) to fix it,” he said.

“If you want to be fair, (come on) we are
equally responsible,” he added, tapping investor awareness.

PT Pindad and PT Bangun Palu Sulteng and the launch of the Investment Magazine.
