Kemenperin Supports Industrial Relocation Within Indonesia

Ministry's Stance on Factory Relocation

The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) has clarified its position regarding the relocation of factories to Central Java, stating that as long as the factories remain operational within Indonesia, the ministry will continue to support them. This stance was made clear by Febri Hendri Antoni Arief, the ministry's spokesperson.

Key Considerations for Industrial Relocation

Febri emphasized that the ministry's primary concern is that the industrial operations remain within the country. This perspective is in line with the views of Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, who has consistently highlighted the importance of maintaining industrial activities in Indonesia. The ministry's supportive stance on industrial relocation within the country reflects a pragmatic approach to economic development and industrial growth.

Implications for Indonesia's Industrial Sector

The ministry's position suggests a flexible approach to industrial development, focusing on the continuity of operations rather than the specific location within Indonesia. This could potentially influence future investment decisions and industrial policies, as it indicates a willingness to adapt to changing economic conditions while maintaining a commitment to domestic industrial activity.
