Apple Will Not Withdraw Investment from Indonesia, Deputy Investment Minister Assures
Deputy Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Deputy Head of BKPM Todotua Pasaribu has assured that US technology company Apple will not withdraw its investment from Indonesia. Concerns had arisen following President Donald Trump's imposition of a 32 per cent trade tariff on Indonesia.
Todotua stated that several of Apple's investments in Indonesia remain unchanged and are already underway. "Apple's investments are indeed already running in several areas and remain secure," Todotua said at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs office in Central Jakarta on Monday, 14 April 2025.
He further explained that the Indonesian government has prepared measures for negotiating the 32 per cent trade tariff from the United States. Among these is a plan to invest in the US, with Danantara set to play a role in channelling investments there.
"It could also be in IT and technology — strategically speaking, we see that we can invest there," he said.
Apple has agreed to make a new investment in Indonesia worth 160 million US dollars, or approximately Rp 2.6 trillion. Apple's investment encompasses the continuation of the Apple Academy in Indonesia, the establishment of Apple Software Indonesia and Technology Institute, and the Apple Professional Developer Academy.
