BKPM says direct investment resilient to global shocks

The Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM recorded that Foreign Direct Investment realisation in the first quarter of 2026 reached Rp250 trillion, or 50.1 per cent of the total investment realisation of Rp498.8 trillion. BKPM Spokesperson Dendy Apriandi said in a video release that direct investment is one of the mainstays of national economic growth, because it is long-term and more stable, unlike capital flows in financial markets which are more susceptible to changes in global sentiment.
