Central Sulawesi Sets Rp 162.57 Trillion Investment Target for 2025 After Surpassing 2024 Goals
Jakarta — Central Sulawesi successfully attracted Rp 139.88 trillion in investment in 2024. This year, the target has been raised to Rp 162.57 trillion, equivalent to 8.53% of the national target.
This was revealed during a meeting between Deputy Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Deputy Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Todotua Pasaribu and Central Sulawesi Governor Anwar Hafid in the city of Palu.
"Central Sulawesi province has demonstrated outstanding performance with investment realisation of Rp 139.88 trillion in 2024, surpassing its target by 128.27%, and ranking second nationally in foreign investment," said Todotua on Friday (18/4/2025).
Todotua met with Anwar Hafid to discuss the development of investment potential in Central Sulawesi and to attend the 2025 Investment Realisation Target Consolidation Meeting with heads of the One-Stop Investment and Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) across Central Sulawesi.
During the meeting, Todotua conveyed that the central government is targeting 8% national economic growth, with investment realisation needs reaching Rp 13,032.8 trillion by 2029. Some 86.65% of that target is expected to come from private investment. Regional governments such as Central Sulawesi therefore play a crucial role in attracting direct investment.
The largest investment contributions in Central Sulawesi come from the base metals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, mining, and industrial estate sectors. Morowali Regency is the highest investment contributor in the province, thanks to the development of nickel downstreaming industries and the electric vehicle battery ecosystem.
Todotua also inspected the Palu Special Economic Zone (SEZ) to evaluate infrastructure readiness and the potential for sustainable investment development in the area. During the visit, he toured several downstreaming companies, particularly in the mining and plantation sectors, including PT Asbuton Jaya Abadi, which operates in the wholesale trade of solid, liquid and gas fuels with an investment value of Rp 55.7 billion; PT Hong Thai Internasional, which manages pine resin processing with an investment of Rp 26.15 billion; and PT Wanhong Nonferrous Recycling Utilization, a copper smelter company with an investment value of Rp 296.2 billion.
"Investment is not just about figures, but also about its impact on the community, such as job creation, economic equity, and improved welfare," Todotua stressed.
The visit represents a concrete step by the central government to ensure the smooth continuation of investment in strategic areas. "We invite all stakeholders to make Central Sulawesi a model of investment synergy between government, the private sector, and the community," he concluded.
With support from regional government and a spirit of mutual cooperation, Central Sulawesi is expected to continue serving as a driving force for national investment whilst strengthening its role in promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
