Menteri Perindustrian Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita recently emphasized that the success of industrial zone development is no longer measured solely by the area’s infrastructure, but also by its occupancy rate. This new approach aims to ensure that the zones are not only physically developed, but also economically viable.
In recent years, Indonesia has made significant strides in developing its industrial zones, with a focus on creating modern and efficient facilities for industries to operate. The government has invested heavily in infrastructure development, including the construction of roads, bridges, and utility networks. However, despite these efforts, many of the zones have remained underutilized.
According to Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, the new approach prioritizes occupancy rates as a key indicator of success. This means that industrial zones will be judged not only on their physical development, but also on how well they are utilized by industries and businesses. The goal is to create zones that are attractive to investors and provide a competitive edge for local industries.
The minister explained that the focus on occupancy rates is crucial in ensuring that the zones are economically viable and contribute to the country’s economic growth. “We want to create industrial zones that are not only modern, but also productive and sustainable,” he said.
To achieve this goal, the government has implemented various initiatives to improve the attractiveness of its industrial zones. These include simplifying regulations and procedures for businesses, improving infrastructure and utilities, and providing incentives for industries to locate in the zones.
The new approach is expected to have a positive impact on Indonesia’s economic growth, as well as create more job opportunities for local communities. As the country continues to develop its industrial base, the focus on occupancy rates is an important step towards creating sustainable and competitive industrial zones.
