Investment prospects in Indonesia are getting better in line with various legal certainty and incentives for entrepreneurs. In addition, Indonesia is a strategic country to be a place of investment, because it has wealth in the form of natural resources and human resources.
We must be familiar with shoe brands and goods originally from abroad. But did you know that the factory is actually not overseas but in Indonesia? This is very reasonable because indeed these brands cooperate and open factories in our country with an investment system, because Indonesia has a large area and is a good market for the products produced by these factories.
Indonesia has become a target for marketing these products because our society tends to be consumptive and likes foreign-made brands. So, because the market already exists and to save production costs, the owner of the company builds a factory in this country. Even though the factory is in Indonesia, the quality of the products is the same as those produced abroad, because the ingredients are the same and meet production operational standards and pass quality control.
The Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board, Bahlil Lahadalia, stated that the realization of investment in the third quarter of 2021 was 241 trillion. This figure is greater than the previous quarter which was only 216.7 trillion. In a sense, from this data it can be seen that investment realization continues to increase so it can be concluded that investing in Indonesia is very profitable.
Foreign investors need not be afraid to enter and do business because it is guaranteed to generate large profits. How not to produce because Indonesian people tend to like shopping (consumptive). Especially before Idul Fitri where clothes, shoes, and other items are all new. They also like branded goods. Even though they know that the product is manufactured in Indonesia, they still buy it because they are sure that the quality is good.
Investment in Indonesia also has good prospects because Indonesia has natural wealth and mining materials. Like a nickel mine with great potential if it is touched by investors. Nickel is not only extracted and sold in raw form to be used as an electric car battery.
Electric cars are the industry of the future because they are environmentally friendly, even though they are very expensive. There are already many countries that produce electric cars such as the United States and South Korea. By producing electric car batteries, it will be very profitable because they will be purchased by the car factory. Investors will be interested and can work together with a symbiotic mutualism.
Besides guaranteed profits, foreign investors will be happy to enter Indonesia because it has a strong legal umbrella, namely the Job Creation Law. With the investment cluster and the ease of doing business cluster, making a business with foreign investment will be made easier. The reason is because the permit only takes five working days.
In addition, the permit is also easier because it is submitted through the online submission system. With this system, it will be easy because the online system has a network throughout Indonesia, so there is no need to go to high-ranking officials from the provincial to the city level. It will save you a lot of time, effort and money.
Investment in Indonesia is guaranteed to be profitable because investment achievements always increase every quarter. Foreign investors will be happy because doing business in this country is guaranteed to make a profit. Moreover, the market is already available so it remains only to produce good quality goods. Investment prospects are getting better and are expected to accelerate economic recovery in Indonesia.
