JAKARTA, investor.id - Investment realisation in the downstream processing sector reached Rp 136.3 trillion in the first quarter of 2025. Compared with the previous quarter, this represented growth of 1.04%, whilst compared with Q1 2024 it marked a 79.82% increase from Rp 75.8 trillion.

Minister of Investment and Downstream Processing/Head of BKPM Rosan Perkasa Roeslani said that Q1 2025 saw a significant increase in downstream investment. He noted that the potential for investment in the downstream sector remains very substantial.

"This 79.82% year-on-year increase is a very significant shift towards downstream processing. The attraction remains very strong and we want to ensure that this investment delivers great benefit to the Indonesian economy," said Rosan at the Q1 2025 Investment Realisation Achievement Press Conference at the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Processing/BKPM offices on Tuesday (29/4/2025).

Downstream investment contributed 29.3% to total investment realisation in Q1 2025. This figure represents an increase, as over the past three years downstream investment had only contributed 24% to total investment realisation. This improvement is inseparable from the optimal performance of derivative product processing.

Investment realisation in mineral commodities reached Rp 97.6 trillion. This was divided among nickel at Rp 47.82 trillion, iron and steel at Rp 12.01 trillion, copper at Rp 17.70 trillion, tin at Rp 1.53 trillion, bauxite at Rp 12.84 trillion, and an accumulation of other commodities including silica sand, gold, silver, cobalt, manganese, coal and Buton asphalt at Rp 5.7 trillion.

"Until now, incoming investment has been more concentrated in nickel and its derivatives, but it turns out that copper has also started to progress. Palm oil has been running for a long time; we are trying to push further into derivative products so that added value can be captured with more significant job creation," explained Rosan.

Downstream investment realisation in the plantation and forestry sector totalled Rp 31.13 trillion. This comprised palm oil at Rp 15.26 trillion, rubber at Rp 3.08 trillion, timber logs at Rp 11.79 trillion, and an accumulation of other commodities such as nutmeg, coconut, cocoa and biofuel at Rp 990 billion.

Downstream investment realisation in the oil and gas sector reached Rp 6.55 trillion, divided between crude oil at Rp 3.13 trillion and natural gas at Rp 3.42 trillion.

Downstream investment realisation in the fisheries and maritime commodities sector totalled Rp 1.03 trillion. This covered downstream processing of salt, tuna, skipjack, mackerel tuna, prawns, seaweed, blue swimming crab and tilapia.

"We continue to push downstream processing in the maritime sector, such as seaweed and fish, so that commodities become increasingly varied," said Rosan.
