Furthermore, he explained that Investment is also one of the most important variables in the economy, because it has a large multiplier effect such as encouraging national income growth, encouraging job creation, and as an equal distribution tool between regions, sectors and individuals. "To be able to increase economic growth, the state must be able to create a conducive, trustworthy and safe investment climate. "Not only for business people in the country, but also for investors from abroad," continued Kecuk.
This was also agreed by Minister Bambang. "Indonesia will only be able to upgrade to develop country if the source of economic growth comes from investment. Not only rely on consumption, "said Bambang. He also hopes that investment data can be socialized well to the regions, so that regional heads can understand the PMTB data, and can attract investors to their regions.
