Kalimantan Selatan (ANTARA) - Tanjung - Realization of investment or business licenses in Tabalong's Capital Investment, One-Stop Integrated Services Agency reached IDR 6.2 trillion and is still dominated by the mining sector.

Head of the agency Nanang Mulkani said the potential of natural resources in the form of mining products in this region is quite high, because of that the business permit for this sector is still dominant.

"Local governments continue to work to improve the non-mining sector, such as agriculture and plantations," Nanang explained.

Increased realization of business licenses or investments seen in 2018 reached IDR3.3 trillion compared to 2017, which only around IDR185.9 billion.

The commitment of the government to improve the non-mining sector, said Nanang, is to realize the independent and prosperous Tabalong community according to the district's vision and mission.

The Capital Investment, One-Stop Integrated Services Agency also aggressively promotes regional potential and superior products at the national-level investment exhibition.

Currently the largest investment from the mining sector is a Chinese-owned cement factory Conch and a steam power plant owned by PT MSW and PT Tanjung Power Indonesia.
