The Batang Regency government in Central Java is optimistic that the region's economic growth in 2025 can reach 8 percent, driven by the rapid development of the Batang Special Economic Zone (KEK). In 2024, the region's economy grew by 6.03 percent, and in the second quarter of 2025, it reached 7.49 percent. Regent Faiz Kurniawan expressed confidence that Batang will meet the President's growth target by the end of the year.
To attract investment, the local government has introduced a regional regulation offering up to a 50 percent discount on building taxes, contingent on conditions such as hiring at least 70 percent local workers, implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices, and having a land cover recovery roadmap. The government is also funding training programs to improve local workers' skills and close competency gaps.
A China-based manufacturing company has invested Rp2.6 trillion in the Batang Special Economic Zone through two subsidiaries, operating on approximately 100 hectares. By 2025, this investment has created jobs for around 8,000 local workers, with projections indicating that the KEK could employ more than 70,000 workers by its peak period in 2027.
