Kemenkeu mencatat investasi naik dua kali lipat sejak kuartal I-2020

 Menteri Keuangan (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani Indrawati mengatakan bahwa realisasi investasi di Indonesia masih kuat, dengan jumlah Penanaman Modal Dalam Negeri (PMDN) maupun Penanaman Modal Asing (PMA) meningkat lebih dari dua kali lipat sejak kuartal I tahun 2020.

“Ini sudah naik lebih dari dua kali lipat terutama pada periode pascakrisis COVID. Jadi, ini sudah doubling dalam 3-4 tahun terakhir,” kata Sri Mulyani Indrawati, di Jakarta, Jumat (16/8) sore.

Menkeu menuturkan bahwa realisasi investasi per kuartal meningkat dari Rp211 triliun pada kuartal I-2020 menjadi Rp428 triliun pada kuartal II-2024.

Pihaknya pun mencatat bahwa pertumbuhan investasi relatif konstan pada kisaran 4,4 persen year-on-year (yoy).

“Tapi, tentunya ini bisa diakselerasi untuk bisa menciptakan pertumbuhan yang lebih tinggi,” ujarnya pula.

Tidak hanya PMA dan PMDN, pertumbuhan investasi juga ditopang oleh kredit perbankan untuk aktivitas usaha.

Per Juni 2024, kredit investasi meningkat 11,5 persen yoy, sedangkan kredit modal kerja tumbuh 10,9 persen yoy. Sementara itu, total kredit perbankan tumbuh 11,5 persen yoy.

“Pertumbuhan dobel digit dari sektor perbankan maupun dari PMA dan PMDN ini menciptakan capital yang tertanam dan menimbulkan pertumbuhan ekonomi,” kata Sri Mulyani lagi.

Menteri Investasi/Kepala Badan Koordinasi Penanaman Modal (BKPM) Bahlil Lahadalia menyebut bahwa Kementerian Investasi/BKPM mendapat target investasi sebesar Rp1.850 triliun hingga Rp1.900 triliun, seperti yang sudah tercantum dalam Rencana Kerja Pemerintah (RKP) 2025.

Jumlah tersebut meningkat dari target investasi pada tahun ini yang ditetapkan oleh Presiden Joko Widodo sebesar Rp1.650 triliun.

Sedangkan berdasarkan rencana strategis (renstra) Kementerian Investasi/BKPM, realisasi investasi sepanjang 2024 ditargetkan sebanyak Rp1.239,3 triliun.

 President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) lauded the community groups’ concern about fighting environmental impacts from climate change and mining activities.

“I praise the community groups’ care in protecting the environment and handling climate change, which cannot be handled by the government alone, but by the whole country,” he remarked at the LIKE 2 Expo Festival held here on Friday.

The head of state affirmed that efforts to maintain the Earth’s sustainability are the responsibility of all humankind, including through the policymakers’ role and community movement.

He stated that if environmental sustainability is not maintained, human quality of life will be reduced, along with drought and threatened food supplies.

“The energy and mining sectors are the most impactful,” he remarked.

President Jokowi stressed the need for good management of the forestry and energy sectors.

“If we mismanage them, they will disadvantage us,” he noted.

One of the mitigation efforts by the government to protect the environment is establishing nurseries for forest rehabilitation.

“Every mining area has to have nurseries for environmental recovery. Forest rehabilitation must be a concern of the Environment and Forestry Ministry,” the president emphasized.

The LIKE 2 Expo Festival, held on August 8-11, is a program initiated by the Environment and Forestry Ministry.

This festival is a forum for introducing real actions, conducting policy improvement, and implementing change in the forestry and environmental sectors.

Earlier, the Environment and Forestry Ministry’s Director of Environmental Damage and Pollution Control, Sigit Reliantoro, affirmed that his side was keen to showcase green technology and its potential future use at the festival.

Several technologies are exhibited, including geothermal technology, a solar power plant development plan, green hydrogen, and green ammonia.

Sport climbing athlete Veddriq Leonardo secured the first gold medal for Indonesia at the 2024 Paris Olympics after becoming the fastest in the men’s speed event.

Despite a slow start, Veddriq, a former world record holder, dashed to defeat Chinese athlete Wu Peng with a time of 4.75 seconds at the Le Bourget Climbing Venue in Paris.

Wu had to be content with a silver medal after losing 0.02 seconds to the athlete from Pontianak, West Kalimantan.

Although he lost to the Chinese representative in the semifinals, Sam Watson from the United States managed to win bronze after sharpening the world record he set in Paris with a time of 4.74 seconds when he defeated Iranian athlete Reza Alipour Shenazandifard (4.88 seconds), according to the official Olympics website.

Earlier, Indonesia’s hopes for a medal in women’s speed climbing at the Paris 2024 Olympics were dashed, with both Desak Made Rita Kusuma Dewi and Rajiah Sallsabilah being eliminated from the competition.

Desak, Indonesia’s top-ranked speed climber, suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the quarterfinals, narrowly losing to China’s Deng Lijuan by just 0.006 seconds. Despite her previous strong performances, Desak was unable to secure a podium finish.

“I do not know what else to say because I was fast earlier, but my opponent was faster,” the 23-year-old Balinese athlete stated.

“I’ll be back stronger for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics,” the athlete affirmed.

Rajiah also faced challenges, losing out on the bronze to Poland’s Aleksandra Kaucka.

Rajiah clocked 8.24 seconds, while Kaucka secured the win with a time of 6.53 seconds.

Meanwhile, Poland’s Aleksandra Miroslaw dominated the women’s competition, securing the gold medal with a world record-breaking performance of 6.06 seconds. China’s Deng claimed silver, while Kaucka earned bronze.

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is expecting Indonesian sport climbing athletes to win gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, chairperson of the Indonesian Sport Climbing Federation (FPTI), Yenny Wahid, has said.

The President stated the target while meeting several FPTI officials and athletes at the State Palace here on Wednesday.

According to Wahid, the meeting was a form of special attention from the Head of State, who has provided adequate support for the development of the sport so far.

“The President, certainly, has always paid special attention to sport climbing. He appealed to us that the achievement should not stop here (at the 2024 Paris Olympics), but it must continue,” she remarked.

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, sport climbers will vie for four gold medals in the men’s boulder & lead, women’s boulder & lead, men’s speed, and women’s speed events.

The men’s speed event has become one of the strengths of the Indonesian sport climbing contingent.

The contingent bagged all the medals in the men’s speed event at the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) World Cup Series Seoul 2022 in South Korea on May 6–8.

Currently, Indonesia’s Kiromal Katibin holds the world record in speed climbing with a time of 5.009 seconds, which he achieved in the qualification round for the IFSC World Cup Series Chamonix 2022 in France on July 8.

Meanwhile, regarding the lead event, Wahid said that FPTI is striving to carry out long-term athlete fostering to improve Indonesia’s achievements in the event.

“The target (of the lead event athletes) is to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics,” she added.

Currently, Indonesian athletes have succeeded in improving their ranking from 100 to 40 in the event, she noted.

Hence, FPTI is continuing to work to improve the athletes’ performance in the lead event so that they can continue to excel — with the long-term target of emerging as the world’s top three.

Thus, the chairperson of the association has also asked the Indonesian people to support the athletes, including at the IFSC World Cup Series Jakarta 2022, which will be held at Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD) Lot 16-17, Jakarta, on September 24–26.

“It will be open to the public, thus anyone can attend (the tournament) to support our athletes,” she said.

During their meeting, she also conveyed FPTI’s readiness to host the world cup series to the President.

The Indonesian Sport Climbing Federation (FPTI) Chairperson Yenny Wahid met with Governor of Jakarta Anies Baswedan to get tips to make the IFSC Climbing World Cup, scheduled here on September 24-26, 2022, a success.

“I came since I was inspired by the success of Formula E. I sought tips from the governor, so that the event can be successful,” she remarked.

One of the tips provided by Baswedan is hard work, so that the climbing world cup event can be successful, she noted.

Moreover, Jakarta has the best international-scale sport climbing facilities located in Cakung, East Jakarta. The facilities are not just used by athletes from Jakarta but also national sport climbing athletes.

The central government is currently constructing a permanent wall at the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) sport complex, so it is not yet ready to be used.

As a result, a knockdown board that can be disassembled will be utilized in its place, Wahid explained.

The sport climbing board will be flown in from France and will be reassembled here for the world cup.

A music festival will also be held in GBK on the same date as the IFSC Climbing World Cup, she remarked.

Meanwhile, Baswedan expects that Jakarta, which becomes the host for the climbing championship for the first time, can draw the people’s interest in the sport.

“Interest in the sport is expected to increase, and hopefully, potential athletes will emerge,” he remarked.

Some 200 athletes from 17 countries will participate in the 2022 IFSC Climbing World Cup, and Jakarta serves as the host for the first time.

Some 42 Indonesian athletes are competing in the championship held in the business area Lot 16, SCBD, South Jakarta.

The success of Indonesian athletes at the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) World Cup Jakarta 2022 has strengthened hopes that the national team will dominate the 2024 Olympic in Paris, France.

Indonesian Olympic Committee (KOI) chairperson Raja Sapta Oktohari lauded the Indonesian sport climbing athletes’ achievements at the world cup as an indication that Indonesia could dominate the sport at the 2024 Olympics.

“I am amazed by the Indonesian athletes’ achievements in the 2022 rock climbing world cup in Jakarta. This a positive bolster for all of us for the 2024 Summer Olympics,” Oktohari said, according to an official statement received here on Monday.

During the world cup, Indonesia’s Veddriq Leonardo emerged as the overall champion in the speed climbing category after collecting a total of 4,455 points, including from his victories in two earlier world cup sessions in Seoul, South Korea, on May 6–8 and Salt Lake City, the United States, on May 27–29.

Meanwhile, Indonesia’s Kiroman Katibin took the runner-up position with a total of 4,080 points.

As Indonesia also topped the ranking in the speed climbing category in the world cup, Oktohari said he is optimistic that the national team will dominate the speed climbing sport in the Olympics.

He also expressed the hope that the Indonesian rock climbing team would not only pass the qualification stage, but also attain the maximum quota for the Olympics. The qualification stage of the Olympics will commence in 2023.

“The speed climbing discipline for the Paris Olympics will be limited to 28 men and women athletes, including two allotted for the host, hence we have only 26 quotas for men and women while the respective NOC is limited to send two men and two women athletes. I hope Indonesia would send the maximum permissible quota for the Olympics,” Oktohari said.

Speed climbing will be the second sport climbing discipline to feature in the Olympics after the introduction of the Boulder and Lead combined format at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Youth and Sports Minister Dito Ariotedjo expects that Indonesian athletes’ good achievements at the 2023 International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) World Cup would help them to excel at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

“It seems that climbing is one of the sports that can truly become our hope (to get medals at the Olympics),” he remarked, as quoted from the Youth and Sports Ministry’s website on Monday.

Ariotedjo noted that the achievements of Indonesian climbing athletes amid the Sport Climbing World Cup Series demonstrated that they were superior athletes.

“Thus, I hope we will have good luck during the 2024 Olympics,” he stated.

Indonesia recently hosted one of the series of the 2023 IFSC World Cup in Jakarta on May 6-7, 2023. Meanwhile, the 2024 Olympics is scheduled to take place in France on July 26 to August 11, 2024.

“Thank God, we (Indonesia), as host (of the competition), could bag gold and bronze medals from the male event,” the minister noted.

He also felt grateful for the achievement of Indonesian female climbing athlete, Desak Made Rita Kusuma Dewi, who bagged a silver medal at the Indonesian series of the world cup.

Dewi’s achievement was better than her performance in the earlier series of the world cup held in Seoul, South Korea, on April 28-30, 2023, during which she won a bronze medal, Ariotedjo stated.

The minister said that the government will always support the implementation of any international sporting championships in Indonesia.

“We highly support the funding and organizing of such world events. We have also readied a long-term national athlete training program, training center, and (program to send our athlete to partake in) trials abroad,” he remarked.

He expected that Indonesian athletes will be able to maintain their achievements at the next series of the IFSC World Cup to be held in Salt Lake City, the United States, on May 19-21, 2023.

Chairperson of the Indonesian Sport Climbing Federation (FPTI) Yenny Wahid said she was grateful since the achievement of Indonesian athletes in the Jakarta series of the climbing world cup surpassed the target.

“Thank God and thank you very much for the support from all Indonesian people, who watched the competition in person or virtually. Certainly, we are very happy with the achievements,” she remarked.

She noted that the initial target for the athletes was one gold medal and one bronze medal.

At the competition, Indonesian male athletes, Raharjati Nursamsa and Kiromal Katibin, clinched the gold and bronze medals, respectively, while Desak Made Rita Kusuma Dewi bagged the silver medal from the female event.

“This is extraordinary. We must ensure that this achievement can be maintained in the future,” Wahid stated.

A total of 120 athletes from 24 countries participated in the world championship in Jakarta, which only held the speed event. Indonesia sent 12 male athletes and 10 female athletes in the event.

The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) World Cup 2023 in Jakarta officially opened at Lot 6 of Gelora Bung Karno Stadium at 6 p.m. local time on Saturday.

The 2023 Climbing World Cup is being held on May 6 and 7, 2023. The opening ceremony was attended by chairperson of the Indonesian Climbing Federation (FPTI), Yenny Wahid; the 4th First Lady of Indonesia, Sinta Nuriyah Wahid; and other officials and guests of honor.

A total of 120 athletes from 24 countries are participating in the sports event. As the host of the 3rd series of the Climbing World Cup, Indonesia has fielded 22 athletes—12 male and 10 female.

This year’s edition of the climbing world championship in Jakarta is only featuring one branch, namely, speed.

The event was officially opened by Wahid. In her speech, the 48-year-old gave a warm welcome to all athletes.

“A warm welcome to the 120 athletes from 24 countries to compete in the IFSC Sport Climbing World Cup,” Wahid said.

Championships have more value than just getting medals, such as learning about humanity and the value of sportsmanship, she added.

“In sports championships, we will see cooperation, discipline, passion, and all of this means we need to learn to succeed in life,” she said.

At the end of her speech, she invited all athletes from around the world to explore Indonesia and Jakarta.

“Indonesia likes to welcome its guests, we have to make guests feel comfortable by showing hospitality,” she remarked.

The opening ceremony was enlivened by the singing of the national anthem Indonesia Raya and a Betawi cultural dance performance.

The 2023 Climbing World Cup – Jakarta is the third in the series. The previous series this year were held in Hachioji, Japan, on April 21–23 and in Seoul, South Korea, on April 28–30.

Saturday’s race was the qualification, and the quarter-final and the final competition will be held on Sunday.

The Indonesian Sport Climbing Federation (FPTI) has projected that as many as six Indonesian sport climbing athletes will qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

“We expect the sport climbing athletes to qualify for the Olympics because they have a great opportunity in the ongoing qualification process,” FPTI Secretary General Florenciano Hendricus Mutter said over a telephone call from here on Monday.

Currently, two athletes from FPTI have bagged tickets to the Paris Olympics: Rahmad Adi Mulyono in men’s speed and Desak Made Rita Kusuma Dewi in women’s speed.

Mutter said that more qualifiers are scheduled to be held in China and the United States, so the number of Indonesian rock climbing athletes qualifying for the Olympics is likely to increase by four.

“There are two more athletes who are most likely to qualify for the speed format , and another two for the combined format (boulder and lead),” he informed.

Mutter said several athletes are still hunting for the Paris tickets through qualification tournaments.

Speed athletes, he said, have a pretty good record so, in addition to having the opportunity to qualify, they may also win medals at the Paris Olympics.

Meanwhile, athletes competing in the combined formatare expected to break through by qualifying for the Olympics, but they do not have a target to win medals, he informed.

This is because their ranking is still lower than athletes from other countries.

Mutter said that the athletes who qualify for the Paris Olympics will undergo national centralized training (Pelatnas) in Bekasi, West Java.

Indonesia’s hopes for a medal in women’s speed climbing at the Paris 2024 Olympics were dashed with both Desak Made Rita Kusuma Dewi and Rajiah Sallsabilah eliminated from the competition.

Desak, Indonesia’s top-ranked speed climber, suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the quarterfinals, narrowly losing to China’s Deng Lijuan by just 0.006 seconds. Despite her previous strong performances, Desak was unable to secure a podium finish.

“I don’t know what else to say because I was fast earlier, but my opponent was faster,” said the 23-year-old Balinese athlete. “I’ll be back stronger for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.”

Rajiah also faced challenges, losing out on the bronze to Poland’s Aleksandra Kaucka.

Rajiah clocked 8.24 seconds, while Kaucka secured the win with a time of 6.53 seconds.

Meanwhile, Poland’s Aleksandra Miroslaw dominated the women’s competition, securing the gold medal with a world record-breaking performance of 6.06 seconds. China’s Deng claimed silver, while Kaucka earned bronze.

In the men’s event, Indonesia’s Veddriq Leonardo has advanced to the quarterfinals but is facing a tough challenge against France’s Mawem Bassa on Thursday. His teammate, Rahmad Adi Mulyono, was eliminated after a false start in the qualifying round.

Veddriq had earlier set a world record of 4.79 seconds, but this was subsequently broken by the USA’s Samuel Watson.
