Indonesia has booked significant investment of Rp477.7 trillion (US$31.5 billion) in the first semester of 2025, marking an 11.5 percent increase compared to the previous year, which recorded at Rp428.4 trillion (US$27.9 billion). 

Minister of Investment and Downstream/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, shared his optimism about Indonesia’s performance.

"Alhamdulillah (Thank God), we have met our investment targets for the second quarter and the first semester of 2025. Despite the increasing geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges, the trust in Indonesia remains strong. This is evident in our ability to deliver on the government’s targets for both domestic and foreign investments,” Rosan told a press conference on Tuesday, July 29, 2025.

A significant aspect of this achievement is the creation of 665,764 new jobs, directly contributing to the nation’s workforce through investments in various sectors.

"The increase in domestic investment, which has contributed Rp275.5 trillion (US$18 billion), shows the growing strength of Indonesia’s own investors," Rosan cited. "We’ve seen a shift toward a more even distribution of investments across the country, with 50.3 percent of investments going to regions outside of Java. This is a key indicator of the government’s efforts to drive economic growth beyond the main island."

While industries such as basic metals and transportation equipment dominate investment sectors, there is a noticeable transition toward the green energy sector. Indonesia is committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2060, with renewable energy investments expected to reach nearly Rp3,700 trillion (US$241 billion).

Notably, foreign investments are also strong, with Singapore, Hong Kong, China, the United States, and Malaysia being the top five contributors. Investment from Singapore has remained steady, consistently ranking as the largest investor in Indonesia for over a decade.

Rosan emphasized that the government’s strategic approach to energy development, particularly renewable energy in regions with abundant resources, like geothermal energy in Sumatra and Java, is vital to the country’s long-term growth.

Indonesia's first-half 2025 investment results highlight the country's continued resilience and its positioning as a prime destination for both domestic and international investors.
