In Central Java alone there are a number of foreign investors showing interest in doing business in the property sector, he said.

A Chinese investor also plans to build a housing complex and a number of factories in Central Java, he added.
He said the interest shown by foreign real estate companies in the country followed the implementation of the Asean Economic Community .
He predicted the prices of property buildings would rise with foreign companies entering the business sector.
