Jakarta, VIVA \u2013 The Ministry of Investment and\nDownstreaming\/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) recorded that\ninvestment realisation in the downstreaming sector reached Rp 136.3\ntrillion, or 29.3 per cent, in the first quarter of 2025. This figure\nrose 79.82 per cent year on year (yoy), or Rp 75.8 trillion.<\/p>\n
Minister of Investment and Downstreaming\/Head of BKPM Rosan Roeslani\nsaid this realisation far exceeded the average trend over the past three\nyears, which ranged between 23 and 24 per cent. He noted that the\nincrease marks a new direction in Indonesia\u2019s downstreaming investment\nlandscape.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestment realisation or the contribution of downstreaming\ninvestment reached 29.3 per cent. If we look at the trend over the past\nthree years, it usually ranged between 23 and 24 per cent \u2014 now it\u2019s\n29.3 per cent,\u201d Rosan said at a press conference on Tuesday, 29 April\n2025.<\/p>\n
Rosan said that downstreaming investment had previously tended to be\nconcentrated in the nickel sector and its derivatives. However, copper\nis now showing significant momentum, as are palm oil and bauxite.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can see that bauxite will become one of the fastest-growing areas\nin downstreaming going forward,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
The mineral sector dominated with a contribution of Rp 97.60\ntrillion, with nickel as the main contributor at Rp 47.82 trillion,\nfollowed by copper at Rp 17.70 trillion and bauxite at Rp 12.84\ntrillion. Meanwhile, the plantation and forestry sector contributed Rp\n31.13 trillion, with palm oil and timber logs as the main contributors\nat Rp 15.26 trillion and Rp 11.79 trillion respectively.<\/p>\n
Rosan also emphasised the importance of increasing the value added\nfrom strategic commodities such as palm oil. \u201cPalm oil has been running\nfor a long time and we will try to push further on derivative products\nso that the value added can be captured and more significant job\ncreation can be achieved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In addition, Rosan highlighted the considerable potential of the\nbauxite sector, which has not yet developed rapidly. He assessed that\nbauxite would become one of the engines of downstreaming growth going\nforward.<\/p>\n
Development of downstreaming in the maritime sector also received\nRosan\u2019s attention. Investment in the fisheries and maritime sector was\nrecorded at Rp 1.03 trillion, covering commodities such as seaweed,\ntilapia, tuna, and blue swimming crab.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/downstream-investment-reaches-rp-136-3-trillion-in-q1-2025-1771237239", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
