Tuesday, 09 June 2026
JOMBANG, East Java – The new management of the Jombang Regency Leadership Council (DPK) of the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO) for the 2026–2031 term was officially inaugurated at the Jombang Regency Hall.
The Jombang Regency Government expects the employers’ organization to serve as a driving force for investment while creating more employment opportunities in the region.
The inauguration, attended by business leaders, regional government officials, and APINDO East Java representatives, marked an important moment in strengthening synergy between the business community and the government to promote economic growth in Jombang Regency.
Jombang Regent Warsubi emphasized that APINDO holds a strategic position as a government partner in creating a healthy and conducive business climate. According to him, the role of the business community is essential to accelerating regional development while improving public welfare.
“APINDO is not merely an organization representing business operators, but also a strategic partner of the government in strengthening investment, expanding employment opportunities, and promoting regional economic growth,” he said in his remarks.
Warsubi, who also serves on the Advisory Council of DPK APINDO Jombang, said collaboration between the government and business community was increasingly important amid constantly evolving economic dynamics.
He therefore expressed hope that the new management would establish productive communication with all relevant stakeholders.
On the occasion, Warsubi highlighted Jombang’s progress in reducing unemployment. According to data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), Jombang’s Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) currently stands at 3.28 percent, down from the previous period.
Nevertheless, the regional government continues to expand employment opportunities through business development, increased investment, and the creation of new entrepreneurs.
He said Jombang still had significant entrepreneurial potential that needed to be continuously encouraged to produce new, independent, and competitive business operators.
“Many large businesses started with small steps. Therefore, the entrepreneurial spirit must continue to be nurtured, particularly among the younger generation,” he said.
Warsubi also highlighted Jombang’s strategic geographical position as an important factor supporting investment growth. The regency’s proximity to distribution routes and economic centers provides a strong foundation for attracting investors.
Nevertheless, he stressed the importance of maintaining stability and business certainty so that investors feel confident investing in Jombang Regency.
“If investment grows, employment opportunities will expand, the regional economy will gain stronger momentum, and public welfare will also improve,” he stressed.
Meanwhile, Chairman of DPK APINDO Jombang, Fathurohman, expressed his commitment to making APINDO an organization that not only represents the interests of business operators but also makes a tangible contribution to regional development.
He said APINDO must play a broader role in strengthening the business sector, attracting investors, and supporting the strategic programs of the Jombang Regency Government.
“Going forward, we are ready to collaborate with the Jombang Regency Government to support the realization of a more advanced and prosperous Jombang for all,” he said.
Meanwhile, Jhonson Simanjuntak, Deputy Chairman for Organization and Regional Empowerment of APINDO East Java, said harmonious relations between regional governments and the business community were an important factor in increasing investment.
He praised the Jombang Regency Government’s support for APINDO and its commitment to building strong partnerships with business operators. According to him, the synergy established would not only contribute to increased investment, but also support MSME development, improve human resource quality, and strengthen the competitiveness of local businesses.
With the new management now in place, APINDO Jombang is expected to become a driving force for regional economic growth through increased investment, expanded employment opportunities, and the strengthening of a healthy and sustainable business climate.
