Medan

As the capital of North Sumatra Province, Medan is the largest city in the eastern region of Sumatra Island. 

In addition to being traversed by the Deli River and Babura River as trade traffic routes, Medan has the Belawan Port on the Strait of Malacca as a gateway or entry point for tourists and the trade of goods and services, both domestic and international trade (import-export).

Its strategic location makes Medan the gateway to western Indonesia. 

According to the Padan Infrastructure Development PURR Region III website, Medan's economy depends on the wholesale and retail trade sector; automobile and motorcycle repair, followed by the construction sector, and the processing industry sector. 

These three sectors are the dominant sectors that contribute to the economic growth of Medan.
