This study aims to analyze the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on citizenship policies in Indonesia and explore how changes in these policies can affect citizens' rights and national sovereignty. The research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method. A literature review is a type of research conducted by collecting and analyzing existing data or scholarly articles to address problems and understand fundamental issues. The reason for using library research is that the researcher needs data from various sources such as books and previous research journals. Using this method, the researcher identifies relevant topics aligned with the research goals and then analyzes journals and books to answer questions about how FDI significantly impacts Indonesia's economy, driving growth, job creation, and global competitiveness. However, citizenship policies related to FDI require careful attention to balance investment needs with national sovereignty. Reforming policies to simplify residency and citizenship status for foreign investors could make Indonesia a more attractive investment destination, but it might also raise concerns about the impact on the rights of native citizens and national integrity. To manage these effects, Indonesia needs to develop integrated citizenship policies, conduct regular evaluations, enhance transparency, and learn from international practices. With a careful approach, Indonesia can maximize the benefits of FDI while maintaining national interests.

This study examines the impact of interest rates and inflation during the 2019-2023 period on asset allocation strategies in Indonesia's investment portfolio. Investment decisions are heavily influenced by two macroeconomic components, namely interest rates and inflation. These factors mainly affect how assets comprise a portfolio. In this study, data on Bank Indonesia's benchmark interest rate and the national inflation rate over the past five years are analyzed to see the pattern of change and its impact on asset allocation strategies, which include stocks, bonds, property, and other assets. The results show that rising interest rates significantly encourage people to shift from high-risk assets (e.g. stocks) to safer assets (e.g. bonds and deposits). Meanwhile, high inflation triggers an increased allocation to physical assets such as property and gold as a hedge against declining purchasing power. This research provides insights for investors to adjust their investment portfolios based on macroeconomic dynamics, especially in the face of interest rate volatility and inflation. The findings also highlight the importance of flexibility and diversification in asset allocation strategies to achieve optimal investment objectives amid economic uncertainty. The conclusion of this study confirms the importance of understanding interest rate and inflation dynamics in formulating effective investment strategies in Indonesia. The implications of these findings can be used by investors and policymakers in designing better monetary policies and investment strategies, in order to maintain national economic stability.

The agricultural sector plays an important role in Indonesia's capital markets, making a significant contribution to the economy despite facing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The consistent growth of this sector, marked by an increase in contribution to GDP by 2.20% in 2020 and 12.4% in 2022, has attracted investor interest. To support better investment decisions, agricultural companies need to improve the quality of the financial information they present. The implementation of PSAK 69, which requires disclosure of the fair value of biological assets, is an important step in increasing corporate transparency and accountability. This research aims to empirically test the influence of the fair value of biological assets and disclosure of biological assets on  firm value in the Indonesian agricultural sector for the 2018-2022 period. The research was conducted using multiple linear regression analysis. The research results show that disclosure of biological assets has a positive effect on increasing firm value, while the fair value of biological assets does not have a significant effect.  

Multinational companies in Indonesia, such as PT Gudang Garam Tbk, with complex financial statements, are interesting subjects for study. The company's capital ownership has increased annually, but this growth has not been accompanied by an increase in profits. The analysis is based on the financial statements of PT Gudang Garam Tbk for the period 2018-2022, using simple regression analysis. In this analysis, the dividend payout ratio, Return On Investment, and Return On Equity are considered as independent variables (x), while financial performance is the dependent variable (y). The study results show an increase in the dividend policy, but a decrease in ROI and ROE. Furthermore, the statistical analysis reveals that the dividend policy has a positive effect on financial performance, while ROI and ROE have a negative impact on financial performance. The findings indicate that the low profit growth is not due to high or low capital, but is instead caused by the return on investment (ROI) and return on capital (ROE) in the form of profit sharing. Hence, it is the return process that leads to declining or low profits.

This research is motivated by the tight business competition and the decline in the average value of food and beverage companies in 2020-2023. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of profitability, capital structure, and company size on firm value. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data. The sample in this study amounted to 19 manufacturing companies selected using purposive sampling technique. The data analysis technique was carried out by multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS for windows version 23 software. The results showed that profitability and capital structure partially affect firm value, while firm size partially has no effect on firm value. Profitability, capital structure, and company size simultaneously affect firm value. Based on the results of the analysis and conclusions obtained, it is hoped that future companies can manage their debt in order to reduce their interest expense. For future researchers, it is recommended to add other variables such as dividend policy variables and CSR. For investors, it is advisable to consider profitability and capital structure factors in making investment decisions because it is proven that they have an effect on firm value.

Investment is an essential instrument for capitalist countries to boost the national economy and create job opportunities for the community. Investment in Indonesia began with Foreign Investment Law No. 56 of 1964, which was later updated with Foreign Investment Law No. 25 of 2007 in line with the times. To increase investor interest in entering Indonesia, the government enacted Job Creation Law No. 11 of 2020, which was further updated through the Job Creation Law up to 2023. Due to the complexity and increasing number of investors facing obstacles such as land acquisition and regional policies, a Presidential Regulation on National Strategic Projects (PSN) was issued. The government's hopes and expectations for smooth investor operations do not always align with implementation. Specifically, PSNs often result in agrarian conflicts for local residents whose land is taken over for PSN purposes. In the context of investment in Batam, particularly the Rempang Eco-City Development Plan in the Rempang-Galang area, clashes occurred and drew national attention and concern from various experts when land measurements began by PT MEG, escorted by the Joint Team comprising police, TNI, and the Ditpam Batam Management Agency (BP Batam). They have not reached an agreement but are already being pushed for swift execution. The obstacles to investment in the PSN Rempang Eco-City include conflicts arising from legal uncertainties over land ownership since the administrative change from Bintan Selatan District to Batam City, becoming Galang District since 1980. Represented by their legal counsel LBH GP Asnhor, they demand legal certainty over their ancestral land to be issued certificates, enabling fair and humane compensation. This demand has been submitted to President Joko Widodo regarding the request for land legality for the villages on Rempang Island, Galang Island, and New Galang Island on behalf of the chairman of the Local Indigenous People's Relatives (KERAMAT) Gerisman Ahmad. Due to these obstacles and conflicts, the central government, through President Joko Widodo, issued Presidential Regulation No. 78 of 2023 on Handling Social Community Impacts in the Context of Land Provision for National Development. However, as of July 2024, there has not been a comprehensive agreement between the community, the Batam City government, and the head of BP Batam. The government is taking a softer approach by personally approaching residents to relocate to Tanjung Banon, where four model houses have been provided as promised incentives for those willing to move.

This study explores the effect of Islamic microfinance on empowering rural communities through environmentally sustainable business practices. Rural areas often face significant financial exclusion, with limited access to ethical financial services, particularly for eco-friendly enterprises. Islamic microfinance, grounded in Sharia principles such as risk-sharing, ethical investment, and the prohibition of interest (riba), offers an alternative financing model that can potentially foster both economic and environmental sustainability. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of Islamic microfinance on rural communities, focusing on income growth, the adoption of environmentally sustainable business practices, and social empowerment. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines field surveys and interviews with beneficiaries of Islamic microfinance institutions (IMFIs) in rural areas. Data collection tools included questionnaires, focus group discussions, and institutional reports. Key findings reveal that participants in Islamic microfinance programs experienced significant income growth, an increase in environmentally friendly entrepreneurship (e.g., organic farming and recycling businesses), and enhanced community participation and self-reliance. The discussion highlights how Sharia principles encourage ethical investment and sustainable practices, contributing to a triple-bottom-line impact—economic, social, and environmental. However, challenges such as limited awareness, lack of green finance literacy, and regulatory constraints were identified. A comparison between Islamic and conventional microfinance outcomes showed that Islamic microfinance offers a distinct advantage by integrating moral, social, and ecological responsibilities. The study concludes that Islamic microfinance can serve as a transformative tool for rural development, offering solutions to both economic and environmental challenges. The research underscores the need for supportive policy frameworks and further investigation into the long-term impacts of green Islamic finance.
