Hello Ternate - Is Indonesia’s downstream investment still reliant solely on the mineral sector? How is the government encouraging diversification of downstream sectors to strengthen the national economy in 2025? The Government Highlights Diversification of Downstreaming Beyond the National Mineral Sector. Minister of Investment and Downstreaming, also Head of BKPM, Rosan Roeslani, presented developments in downstream investment during the working meeting of Commission XII of the DPR RI on 3 February 2026. Rosan Roeslani stated that the mineral sector still dominates national downstream investment throughout 2025. However, the government notes growth in the non-mineral downstream sector as a positive signal for national economic diversification. According to Rosan Roeslani, the growth in non-mineral downstreaming demonstrates the potential for developing domestic resource-based manufacturing industries. The government is encouraging investments in the chemicals, agriculture, and energy-based industry sectors to strengthen the national economic structure. Diversification of downstream sectors is considered important to reduce dependence on certain commodities. The Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming targets strengthening the non-mineral downstream industry supply chain in 2026. The government assesses that sector diversification will enhance long-term economic stability.
