As per the BKPMs estimate, 12 of the 100 investment projects would see the completion of the first phase this year.
"These 100 projects could absorb 43,000 workers in total. As of today, 9,280 people are already working in these projects," the Deputy of the BKPMs Investment Control and Implementation, Azhar Lubis, stated here on Thursday.
He said the Rp219 trillion investment project, divided further into 64 industrial projects, 14 electrical projects and the rest in mining, tourism, transportation and farms, has realized an investment of Rp80.7 trillion.
The BKPM also determined that 3.5 billion US dollar worth of exports from 54 investment projects have been realized in the first semester of 2015.
"By now, around 513 million US dollar worth of investment has taken place," he said.
Azhar stated that the investment outlook was meant to push the process of investment realization. It was hoped that these projects would run properly and the BKPM would be able to give an assessment if any problems occurred.
Also, the BKPM will be able to gauge the effect of these investments on the economic condition.
"Some of the projects are already in the production stage, exporting their products, absorbing workers, or paying taxes to the local government. Hence, these projects were proving to be beneficial," he added.(*)
