BKPM, Indonesia's focal point to bring in investors
The Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) is a government agency in charge of implementing policy and service coordination in the investment sector in accordance with the regulations. It was founded in 1973, to replace the previous functions undertaken by the Investment Technical Committee, a government institution that was established in 1968. A primary interface between business and government, BKPM was created to boost domestic and foreign direct investments by creating a conducive investment climate. In 2009, the status of BKPM returned to ministerial status and it reports directly to the President of the Republic of Indonesia. Its goal is not only to seek domestic and foreign investment but also to seek quality investments that may drive the Indonesian economy and absorb manpower. Since October 2021, BKPM has been led by Investment Minister Bahlil Lahadalia.
