The West Nusa Tenggara Province Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP) is compiling an investment potential map to provide a comprehensive picture to every investor who wants to invest in the region.
"We are targeting to complete the investment potential map for all regions in West Nusa Tenggara this year," West Nusa Tenggara DPMPTSP Head Wahyu Hidayat stated in Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara on Aug. 13, 2024.
The West Nusa Tenggara DPMPTSP will start compiling the investment potential map in September 2024. It is intended to present detailed information about the province's economy and development opportunities for its various business sectors.
The map also includes a description of the regional spatial plan, economic and trade potential, infrastructure facilities potential, natural resource potential, tourism potential, as well as energy and mining potential.
West Nusa Tenggara's realized investment value for the first half (H1) of 2024 was recorded at Rp25.55 trillion. The business sectors that recorded the largest realized investments were mining at Rp18.45 trillion, industry at Rp4.73 trillion, as well as tourism and the creative economy at Rp1.21 trillion.
The province's regencies and cities with the highest investment realization are the Sumbawa Besar Regency with Rp21.91 trillion, Mataram City with Rp654 billion, and Sumbawa Regency with Rp601 billion.
Meanwhile, the three areas with the lowest investment realization are Bima Regency with only Rp57.89 billion, Bima City with Rp68.74 billion and West Lombok Regency with Rp268.89 billion.
Wahyu said that the investment potential map is also part of the West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Government's efforts to boost the still low investment realization in Bima City and Bima Regency.
"From there (the investment potential map), we set out to present the [investment] potential and opportunities that exist in Bima so that it could develop," he explained.
He added that based on the naked-eye view of Bima City's and Bima Regency's geography, the strongest investment opportunities for both regions so far would be the livestock and agriculture sectors. Hence, the local governments are currently reviewing the contribution of agriculture and livestock to both regions.
