8.2% Growth as Downstream Investment Realisation Reaches Rp147.5 Trillion
JAKARTA - Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM, Rosan Roeslani, reported that first-quarter 2026 investment realisation has met targets amid global challenges, both geopolitical and geo-economic. Recorded investment realisation for Q1 2026 reached Rp497 trillion, an increase of around 7.2% compared to the same period in 2025, which was Rp465.2 trillion.
“We highlight the achievement of downstream investment realisation because its contribution is quite significant, reaching 29.6% in this first quarter. So, the figure is approximately Rp147.5 trillion or an 8.2% increase,” said Rosan at the BKPM office in Jakarta on Thursday (23/4).
According to him, the mineral sector still dominates with Rp98.3 trillion or 66.64% of the total downstream investment realisation of Rp147.5 trillion. Meanwhile, nickel remains in first place with Rp41.5 trillion; copper Rp20.7 trillion; iron and steel Rp17 trillion; bauxite Rp13.7 trillion; tin Rp2.5 trillion; and others Rp2.9 trillion.
“We hope that plantation and forestry investments will also continue to increase,” he added.
For oil and natural gas, Rosan continued, the investment realisation value is Rp17.7 trillion, with details of crude oil Rp13.6 trillion and natural gas Rp4.1 trillion. Meanwhile, the fisheries and maritime sector is recorded at Rp1.7 trillion and is expected to continue increasing in the following semester.
“Commodities in this sector include salt, TCT fish (tuna, skipjack, mackerel), shrimp, seaweed, crab, and tilapia. The information is that investments in salt and seaweed, tilapia fish are already starting to run in the next semester,” he revealed.
If viewed by region, Java and outside Java, Rosan stated that investment outside Java is far more significant than in Java. This is because downstream investment is mainly located in areas such as Sulawesi and North Maluku.
“We see the top five locations for investment realisation are first Southeast Sulawesi, North Maluku, followed by West Java, NTB, and Riau Islands. Central Sulawesi and North Maluku dominate investments in downstreaming because the raw materials or base materials are abundant in both regions,” he said.
Furthermore, Rosan added that the countries of origin for Q1 2026 downstream investment realisation are not different from the previous year, with Singapore in first place with a value of Rp35.9 trillion. Then followed by Hong Kong and China at Rp22.9 trillion; People’s Republic of China at Rp17.6 trillion; Japan at Rp4.6 trillion; and the United States at Rp4.3 trillion.
“So, Alhamdulillah, this has been achieved. Because if we look at the contribution of investment to Indonesia’s economic growth, it usually reaches around 28-29%. But we see that this contribution can increase further in the future,” he concluded.
