The event was opened by the Head of BPS for North Sumatra Province, Mr. Nurul Hasanudin. In his remarks Nurul Hasanudin said that this activity was a simultaneous activity carried out nationally to see the investment profile of various regions including North Sumatra Province. From this activity it is hoped that later it will be able to provide complete data where there are 24 types of assets, 3 institutional sectors and 17 business fields so that quality investment data or PMTB is needed and we will continue to strengthen it from the information available to stakeholders who handle investment data.
