Abstrak

One of the objectives of regional autonomy is to increase regional competitiveness, which automatically increases the welfare of the people. According to the results of previous studies, regional competitiveness will increase if investment attractiveness is high. This means that many investors are interested in investing in the area.

According to a study by the Monitoring Committee for the Implementation of Regional Autonomy (KPPOD), the City of Tasikmalaya is not included in the ranking of the best cities in terms of investment attractiveness. This study aims to analyze the determinants of investment attractiveness to increase the competitiveness of the City of Tasikmalaya.
