Indonesian Investment to Reach IDR 942.9 Trillion in the First Half of 2025

Investment realization in Indonesia throughout the first half of 2025 reached IDR 942.9 trillion. This figure represents a 13.6% year-on-year (YoY) increase, while simultaneously absorbing more than 1.2 million workers. Minister of Investment and Downstream Development/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, stated that this achievement represents 49.5% of this year’s total investment target of IDR 1,905.6 trillion.

“Investment realization in the first half of 2025 reached IDR 942.9 trillion, an increase of 13.6%, and this is very much in line with our plan,” Rosan stated in a press conference at the Ministry of Investment Office in Jakarta on Tuesday (July 29, 2025).

Domestic Direct Investment (PMDN) dominated the total realization, accounting for IDR 510.3 trillion, or 54.1%. Meanwhile, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) was recorded at IDR 432.6 trillion, or 45.9%.

In terms of investing countries, Singapore remains the largest contributor of FDI, reaching US$8.8 billion. This is followed by Hong Kong at US$4.6 billion, China at US$3.6 billion, Malaysia at US$1.7 billion, and Japan at US$1.6 billion.

Meanwhile, West Java was the province with the largest investment value, reaching IDR 141.0 trillion, or 15% of the national total. This was followed by DKI Jakarta at IDR 140.8 trillion (14.9%), East Java at IDR 74.7 trillion (7.9%), Central Sulawesi at IDR 64.2 trillion (6.8%), and Banten at IDR 60.7 trillion (6.4%).

“And again, the most important thing I want to highlight is the employment rate. This is 1,259,868 people,” said Rosan.

Rosan stated that foreign investor confidence in Indonesia has increased significantly due to President Prabowo Subianto’s active role in building relationships with various countries.

“The President’s visits to many countries have boosted the confidence of many parties abroad,” Rosan added.

This increase in foreign capital inflows is expected to accelerate national economic growth and expand employment opportunities, in line with the government’s target of attracting quality and sustainable investment. This positive achievement demonstrates Indonesia’s increasingly strong economic growth and growing investor confidence in the country’s investment climate.
