The President emphasised that investments should not only be substantial in value but also create high-quality jobs, with significant commitments already secured from Japan (nearly USD 30 billion), South Korea (around USD 10 billion), and China. This initiative supports the ambitious national investment target of over Rp13,000 trillion for 2025\u20132029, up from Rp9,100 trillion in the previous decade, aiming to accelerate policy execution and boost employment.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta: President Prabowo Subianto has instructed the Minister of\nInvestment and Downstreaming\/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board\n(BKPM), Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, to cut several regulations deemed to\nobstruct investment. This step is part of adjusting regulatory standards\nto those of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development\n(OECD) member countries. As such, Indonesia is expected to become\nincreasingly investment-friendly. \u201cTechnical Approvals (Pertek) must\nalso be evaluated. The President said that if they are obstructive, they\nare not necessary. So, they must continue to be improved,\u201d Rosan stated\nafter meeting the President at the State Palace on Tuesday, 21 April\n2026. He added that the government will conduct comparisons\n(benchmarking) with ASEAN countries as well as OECD regulatory standards\nand others. In addition, President Prabowo stressed the importance of\ninvestment direction that is not only large in nominal value but also\ncapable of creating quality jobs. Rosan revealed that the President has\ndirected that every incoming investment should have a real impact on\nsociety, particularly in absorbing labour. \u201cHis message is that incoming\ninvestments must be able to drive the creation of jobs that grow well,\ncorrectly, and with quality,\u201d said Rosan. The President also emphasised\nthe importance of accelerating the execution of investment policies so\nas not to be hindered by convoluted regulations. \u201cThis is very important\nand must be accelerated immediately. Regulations must not become\nobstacles,\u201d he explained. Furthermore, Rosan mentioned that several\ninvestment commitments show significant figures. From Japan, the\npotential investment is recorded at nearly USD 30 billion, while from\nSouth Korea it is around USD 10 billion. Investments from China are also\nsaid to remain high and consistent. He added that this positive trend\naligns with the national investment target, which will increase\nsignificantly over the next five years. If the total realised investment\nfor the 2014\u20132024 period reached around Rp9,100 trillion, then for the\n2025\u20132029 period, the target is raised to more than Rp13,000\ntrillion.<\/p>",
