Economic Growth Reaches 5.61%, This is the Contribution from the Investment Sector

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reports that Indonesia recorded an economic growth of 5.61% on an annual or year-on-year (YoY) basis in the first quarter of 2026. This growth for January to March 2026 is higher than the same period in the previous year (first quarter of 2025), which recorded growth of 4.87% (YoY).

In response to this, the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM, who is also the CEO of Danantara, Rosan Roeslani, assessed that Indonesia’s economic growth performance in the first quarter of this year shows very positive results, particularly supported by an increase in investment contributions.

According to Rosan, the share of investment in driving economic growth has experienced a significant increase compared to previous trends. He stated that the investment contribution now reaches 32% of the total economic growth recorded at 5.61%.

“Our economy’s growth is indeed running very well, very positive, and from my portion, of course, in terms of investment contributing 32% of the total growth of 5.61 or 1.8,” said Rosan to reporters at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs office on Tuesday (5/5/2026).

He explained that the investment contribution to economic growth has generally been in the range of 28% to 29%. However, in this period, there has been an increase that is considered one of the main factors driving the national economic achievement.

“So that’s where, usually, investment contributes around 28-29%. Alhamdulillah, this time it’s 32,” he added.

Investment Support

Furthermore, Rosan emphasised that the first quarter economic growth achievement is also supported by the realisation of investments that exceeded the targets set by the government.

“Thus, the economic growth in the first quarter. Alhamdulillah, it achieved very, very good results. We see, especially if I talk from the investment side, which reached above target,” he concluded.
