North Sumatra Province is one of the pillars of the Indonesian economy because of its historical economic growth above of the national economic growth. That is why North Sumatra has become one of the growth engine for the national economy outside Java. Its geographical advantage, which is directly adjacent to the Malacca Strait, makes North Sumatra as the center of trade and national connectivity hub in the western region of Indonesia. Additionally, the natural beauty of North Sumatra contains many potentials that also contributes greatly to the economy through the tourism sector. To support those things infrastructure development continues to be developed, especially to advance connectivity. In line with our efforts to continue developing the socio-economy of North Sumatra, our strategic investment projects are expected to generate a sustainable economy.

We as the Government of North Sumatra has never stopped providing support for the development of regional investment projects. We continue to strive for this support as a form of structural transformation and ease of licensing procedures that are more efficient. Ease of fiscal and non-fiscal for the business community and easy access to raw materials create an excellent investment climate in North Sumatra.
