Indonesia Boosts Regional Infrastructure in Jawa Barat, Bali, and Jawa Timur
West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi announced an accelerated road‑building programme financed by increased vehicle‑tax revenues, with the tax proceeds earmarked to be returned to residents. The province cites rising tax collections as proof of public support for the upgrades.
Coordinating Minister Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono presented Bali’s four‑cluster development plan, emphasizing tourism (which generated Rp176 trillion in foreign‑exchange earnings), improved connectivity, environmental management and spatial‑planning coordination.
In East Java, the provincial DPRD pledged oversight of strategic transport projects, including a new dock at Ketapang Port, widening of Juanda Airport’s runway for wide‑body aircraft, and extensive provincial‑road improvements to strengthen inter‑regional logistics.
