Abstract
Until now foreign investment is still one of the important factors to move and support the economics' growing.
In analyzing the important role of foreign investment, trying to be the target of foreign investment is the common
thing among many countries in this era, both the developed countries and the developing countries. Developing
countries try as they can to be the target of the foreign investment. In philosophy, the existence of foreign
investment is mainly needed which aims to support the development for the prosperity of the whole Indonesia
people. Foreign investment affects to economics' growing and the employment field. However, in fact this
foreign investment does not only give the positive effects but also some negative effects. There are some
problems which is related to the foreign investment. Those problems are related to the Licensing or the
preliminary approval for the foreign investors that will trust their financial capital in Indonesia. Its regulations
are confusing the investors. This confusion happens because the authorities of PMA permission are given to the
center government through BKPM, but the existence of region autonomy also affects that (PMA) the foreign
investment management is included to the obligation of region government. Thus, based on this regulation the
region government also can manage the regulation of foreign investment permission which has been explained in
region regulation that has been stated.

as good as the developed countries. The investors' fund, the skill trainings, and the investment management
especially the skill of foreign investor in managing the potential economy resource becomes the riil economics
