New BKPM Head To Create Favorable Investment Climate

Jakarta, Nov 27 (Antara) - New Chairman of The Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Franky Sibarani has pledged to create a favorable investment climate starting from his institution. "Previously, I build good investment climate outside. Now in BKPM, I will improve the investment climate through a simple, fast, transparent and integrated permit procedure," Sibarani said here on Thursday. Franky Sibarani was the director of PT Garuda Food. He was active in the Indonesian Employers` Association (Apindo) and Indonesia Food and Beverage Association(Gapmmi). As a businessman, he criticized the government`s policies. "All this time I was active in the business world, fighting from the outside. Now, we will build from within," he said. Based on the president`s direction, he was asked to create a favorable investment climate. One of them was to simplify the licensing procedure under a single window. He admitted that the licensing was the biggest obstacle faced by employers. The single-window licensing system is be the next BKPM`s challenge, according to Sibarani. He, however, said that he was not yet able to translate the implementation of the single window licensing system. "I will get exposure from BKPM`s team on Friday (November 28), followed by a meeting with two coordinating ministers, the Coordinating Minister for Maritime and Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs," he stated.
