The Indonesian government still has several challenges to address in\nimproving the investment climate, particularly in relation to\ntransparency, governance and business certainty. Investment and\nDownstreaming Minister and BKPM head Rosan Roeslani made the remarks at\nthe 2026 National Leadership Meeting of the Indonesian Chamber of\nCommerce and Industry (Kadin) on Thursday (29 October 2026), saying\nreforms were needed to maintain investor confidence and encourage\nhigh-quality investment.<\/p>\n
According to Money, Rosan said improving policy and governance was\nthe government\u2019s responsibility if Indonesia was to remain attractive to\ninvestors. He acknowledged that various issues still needed to be\nresolved to create a more transparent business environment.<\/p>\n
At the meeting, Rosan openly acknowledged that the government still\nhad much work to complete.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, we still have a lot of unfinished work on the government\nside. We have to acknowledge that,\u201d Rosan said.<\/p>\n
He stressed that certainty was one of investors\u2019 main considerations\nbefore committing capital. This is particularly important for foreign\ndirect investment (FDI), which requires long-term commitments.<\/p>\n
Unlike investing in the stock market, direct investment requires\ncompanies to build production facilities, factories and smelters. Rosan\nsaid such decisions depend on political and security stability, as well\nas a conducive business environment.<\/p>\n
Alongside stability, the government needs to ensure policy\nconsistency so investors can assess risks and plan their business\nactivities. Rosan said businesses want conditions that are predictable\nand not subject to sudden changes.<\/p>\n
He said investors need certainty from the moment they decide to\ncommit capital through to the operation of their businesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cSecondly, when investing, they naturally do not like surprises. We\ndo not want anything to be unpredictable. Everything must be measurable,\nstructured and fully certain,\u201d Rosan said.<\/p>\n
According to Rosan, certainty is crucial to maintaining investor\nconfidence in Indonesia. Long-term investment requires careful\nassessment of stability and future business conditions.<\/p>\n
Rosan also explained Danantara\u2019s position in the national economic\necosystem. He emphasised that the institution was not intended to\nreplace businesses or take over the private sector\u2019s role.<\/p>\n
Instead, Danantara is expected to help strengthen the capabilities of\nIndonesian businesses through collaboration with various parties. His\nremarks came amid discussions on building business capacity and\nstrengthening domestic investment.<\/p>\n
On investment realisation, Rosan said Indonesia had continued to make\npositive progress under President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s administration.\nAccording to his figures, cumulative investment realisation from the\nfourth quarter of 2024 to the third quarter of 2026 reached Rp3,923.2\ntrillion.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/rosan-admits-indonesia-needs-to-improve-its-investment-climate-1793404219", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
