Minister of Investment and Downstreaming\/Head of the Investment\nCoordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Perkasa Roeslani reported that\ninvestment realisation in the second quarter of 2026 reached Rp511.8\ntrillion. This figure grew by 7.1 per cent compared to the same period\nthe previous year and is equivalent to 25.1 per cent of the 2026\nnational investment target.<\/p>\n
The achievement was conveyed by Rosan at the Presidential Palace in\nJakarta on Thursday (16\/7\/2026), following a report on investment\ndevelopments to President Prabowo Subianto. He stressed that long-term\ninvestor commitment to Indonesia remains strong, particularly from key\npartner countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea.<\/p>\n
According to Rosan, Indonesia is still viewed as a promising\ninvestment destination with competitive returns. The government\ncontinues to improve the investment climate through policies that\nprovide legal certainty and ease of licensing, thereby receiving a\npositive response from business actors.<\/p>\n
During the period, investment realisation also absorbed 742,293\nworkers, an increase of 5.1 per cent. The composition of domestic direct\ninvestment (PMDN) and foreign direct investment (PMA) was relatively\nbalanced, with PMDN at 49.6 per cent and PMA at 50.4 per cent.<\/p>\n
In terms of regional distribution, the contribution of investment\nbetween Java and outside Java is also increasingly even. Rosan noted\nthis trend is positive and is expected to continue to develop so that\nthe investment potential in various regions can be maximised.<\/p>\n
For PMA, North Maluku recorded a significant surge and became the\nmain destination with a realisation of Rp39.5 trillion, followed by DKI\nJakarta, West Java, Central Sulawesi, and East Java. Meanwhile, from the\nPMDN side, DKI Jakarta still dominated with Rp58.6 trillion, followed by\nWest Java and East Java.<\/p>\n
Based on business sectors, the five largest sub-sectors in the second\nquarter of 2026 included the base metals and non-machinery metal goods\nindustry at Rp81 trillion, transportation, warehousing, and\ntelecommunications at Rp57.3 trillion, mining at Rp53.1 trillion, other\nservices, and trade and repair at Rp40.8 trillion.<\/p>\n
Rosan also revealed a shift in the source of foreign investment. For\nthe first time in a decade, Hong Kong occupied the top position as the\nlargest source of investment in Indonesia in the second quarter of 2026,\nfollowed by Singapore, China, Japan, and Malaysia.<\/p>\n
This achievement shows that Indonesia remains a prime investment\ndestination in the region. With a continuously improving business\nclimate, increasingly strong regulatory certainty, and the equitable\ndistribution of investment to various regions, the government is\noptimistic that investment will continue to be the main driver of\neconomic growth and job creation.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/rosan-rp511-8-trillion-investment-absorbs-over-742-000-workers-1784224224", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
