RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta – Investment performance in the first quarter of 2026 in Indonesia recorded a positive figure of 498.8 trillion rupiah, representing a 7.2 percent year-on-year increase compared to the same period in 2025. The downstream sector, particularly in the mineral sector, was noted to have made a very significant contribution to this total figure.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, underscored that the investment sector is now the primary driver of national economic growth. He made this statement during a press conference held in Jakarta on Thursday, April 23, 2026.
“So our investment target is to reach 30% or more of GDP. And in the second, third, and fourth quarters, the driver of Indonesia’s economic growth is indeed the investment sector,” Airlangga said.
Airlangga noted that investment realization in the first quarter of this year has even exceeded the set target. Minister of Investment and Downstreaming, Rosan Roeslani, reported that total investment realization reached 498.8 trillion rupiah, with the downstreaming sector making a significant contribution.
Rosan explained, “The contribution from investments related to downstreaming was quite significant, reaching 29.6% in the first quarter, amounting to approximately 147.5 trillion rupiah, or an increase of 8.2%.
Achievements in this sector are dominated by mineral downstreaming, with nickel contributing 41.5 trillion rupiah. Other commodities include copper, iron and steel, bauxite, and tin.
Other sectors include the downstream processing of plantation and forestry products, namely palm oil, rubber, timber, and oil and natural gas. The government is optimistic that investment in the fisheries and marine sectors, such as salt, seaweed, and tilapia, will increase in the coming semester as projects in these fields begin to take shape.
