He stated that Sumatra’s enormous potential must be managed in an integrated manner to become a driving force for the national economy.
“Sumatra’s potential is extraordinary. We hope that investment flows via this BI Investment Day will not only go to one region, but can be integrated and have a real economic impact on all communities on the island of Sumatra,” said Bobby.
He also emphasized the commitment of the North Sumatra Provincial Government to creating a favorable investment climate by strengthening synergy between regions, so that incoming investment opportunities benefit all regions in Sumatra.
In addition to discussing regional investment promotion, the meeting also offered the opportunity to strengthen the synergy between the North Sumatra Provincial Government and Bank Indonesia in promoting the business climate, strengthening SMEs, and accelerating the digitization of regional government transactions to increase North Sumatra’s economic resilience.
Meanwhile, Ameriza M. Moesa, head of the BI representation office for the province of North Sumatra, explained that the BI Investment Day was set up as a forum to bring together regional governments, investors, and various stakeholders and to expand investment opportunities on the island of Sumatra.

“Through the BI Investment Day, we aim to strengthen cooperation between the provinces on the island of Sumatra. This event serves as a platform to promote the region’s various potential strengths, attract new investment flows, and stimulate more inclusive and sustainable regional economic growth,” stated Ameriza.
According to him, strengthening investments on the island of Sumatra is crucial to ensure that the potential of each region—from infrastructure and key raw materials to tourism—can be optimally developed, thereby promoting balanced economic growth outside of Java. ***rel
