REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has stated that a Japanese investor has expressed interest in investing in the freight forwarding services in Indonesia worth Rp100 billion, according to a statement.

BKPM chief Franky Sibarani in a written statement received here on Wednesday said the development of infrastructure in Indonesia was attracting foreign investors.

"The more business opportunity there is in Indonesia, the more investment will come in, especially in the marine transportation sector which is being accorded priority by the government," he said.

The opening of business opportunities, according to Franky, is stipulated in the Negative List of Investment through Presidential Regulation No.44/2016.

"They follow the developments in Indonesia and know about the country's (investment) potential. This makes us confident that the investors are serious to realize their investment," Sibarani stated.

Certain areas where the foreign investors are currently focusing are Jakarta, Surabaya (East Java), Medan (North Sumatra) and Makassar (South Sulawesi).

In the meantime, an official of the representative office of the BKPM Investment Promotion (IIPC) in Tokyo, Saribua Siahaan, expressed his readiness to facilitate any Japanese investors wishing to invest and expand business in Indonesia.
