According to Cahyo, this situation indicates that the health\nsector is a fundamental need as well as a major investment opportunity\nfor Indonesia. \u201cThe Indonesian government under the leadership of\nPresident Prabowo Subianto has also provided guidance on how the health\nsector plays an important role, including through the transformation\nprocess being undertaken,\u201d said Cahyo at a seminar by the Ministry of\nInvestment and Downstreaming\/BKPM with the Japan International\nCooperation Agency (JICA) in Jakarta on Tuesday (12\/5\/2026).\nFurthermore, he conveyed that in the first quarter of 2026, Indonesia\u2019s\neconomy grew by 5.6%, with one of the supports coming from investment.\nHe mentioned that the realisation of health sector investment in 2025\nreached US$574 million, the highest in history. Japan is also the third\nlargest investor in Indonesia\u2019s health sector. Cahyo then stated that\nthe government is also facilitating a major Japanese investment in the\npharmaceutical sector worth around US$1.4 billion. This investment is\ndirected towards the production of pharmaceutical raw materials, which\nhave previously been imported from China and India. \u201cThis is a very\nimportant sector where Indonesia\u2019s needs have so far depended on\nimports,\u201d he said. In addition to pharmaceuticals and medical devices,\nthe government is also offering various investment incentives in the\nform of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives for potential investors. These\nfiscal incentives include tax holidays, tax allowances, and other tax\nrelief, especially in special economic zones (SEZs). Meanwhile,\nnon-fiscal incentives relate to business licensing facilitation and\nadministrative aspects.<\/p>",
