Seoul, MK \u2013 The Minister of Investment and Downstreaming\/Head of the\nInvestment Coordinating Board (BKPM) and CEO of Danantara, Rosan\nRoeslani, stated that the series of visits by President of the Republic\nof Indonesia Prabowo Subianto to Japan and the Republic of Korea were\nhighly productive. Moreover, these visits successfully enhanced global\ninvestor confidence in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media after attending the \u201cIndonesia\u2013Korea\nPartnership for Resilient Growth\u201d forum in Seoul on Wednesday, 1 April\n2026, Rosan noted that President Prabowo\u2019s direct involvement in\ndialogues with business actors was a key factor driving positive\nresponses from the business world.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey can directly convey their input to the President, along with\nfeedback and the challenges they face in Indonesia, and the President is\nvery responsive and open. This has been very positively received by the\nbusiness community,\u201d said Rosan.<\/p>\n
He explained that during these visits, the Indonesian government held\nvarious strategic meetings with major industry players. In Japan, the\nbusiness forum was attended by more than 300 entrepreneurs, accompanied\nby limited meetings with 12 major companies. Meanwhile, in the Republic\nof Korea, intensive meetings were conducted with 11 major companies.<\/p>\n
Rosan added that amid global geopolitical uncertainties, investment\ninterest from Japan and Korea in Indonesia continues to grow. On\naverage, Korean investment has grown by around 14 per cent per year,\nwhile Japanese investment by about 8\u20139 per cent per year.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Rosan revealed that the presence of Danantara as\nIndonesia\u2019s sovereign wealth fund has further boosted investor\nconfidence for joint investments (co-investment). Currently, the\ngovernment is following up on plans for joint investments with several\nmajor companies, including Lotte Chemical and POSCO.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are indeed in the process of following up on joint investments\nwith Lotte Chemical and also with POSCO, with a total investment value\nof approximately $6 billion together,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n
Rosan also highlighted that many investors already operating in\nIndonesia are now committed to expanding their investments to the next\nphase, such as KCC Glass, POSCO, and several other companies entering\nphase two. According to Rosan, Indonesia\u2019s ability to maintain political\nand economic stability is one of the main factors recognised by\ninvestors as a crucial foundation for long-term investment\ndecisions.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause that is the primary capital for every investment that\nrepresents a long-term commitment to Indonesia. And this is acknowledged\nby all of them, so the incoming investments are actually for the second\nphase,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that the government will continue to follow up on the\nvarious agreements reached to ensure they are quickly realised and\nprovide tangible impacts on the national economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that in the future, investments entering Indonesia will\ncontinue to grow and provide benefits for all of us, as the President\nhas stated,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
This series of visits further affirms Indonesia\u2019s position as a\nstrategic investment destination in the region, while demonstrating the\neffectiveness of President Prabowo\u2019s economic diplomacy in attracting\nhigh-quality investments.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/swift-response-president-prabowo-strengthens-confidence-of-japanese-and-korean-investors-1775104134", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
