First-half investment realisation reaches Rp1,010 trillion, absorbs 1.4 million workers
With this achievement, the government has reached 49.5 per cent of this year’s investment realisation target of Rp2,041.3 trillion.
Jakarta (ANTARA) — The government recorded investment realisation of Rp1,010.6 trillion throughout the first half of 2026, growing 7.2 per cent compared with the same period last year, with the majority of investment realised outside Java and absorbing 1.4 million workers.
Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Roeslani, speaking at a press conference at the Presidential Office in Jakarta on Thursday, said that with this achievement the government had reached 49.5 per cent of this year’s investment realisation target of Rp2,041.3 trillion.
He added that Indonesia’s investment realisation is therefore on track to meet the 2026 target.
Furthermore, he noted that the investment realisation succeeded in absorbing 1.44 million workers, an increase of 15 per cent compared with the same period last year.
“Alhamdulillah, I can report here that investors’ commitment to invest directly in Indonesia remains in line with the target set for 2026,” said Rosan.
He continued that, in terms of regional distribution, investment outside Java again accounted for a larger share than Java, in line with efforts to promote equitable economic development.
Investment realisation on Java reached Rp502.8 trillion, or around 49.8 per cent of total investment, while realisation outside Java reached Rp507.8 trillion, or 50.2 per cent of the total.
Rosan further explained that realisation of domestic investment (PMDN) and foreign investment (PMA) between January and June 2026 was relatively balanced.
PMDN realisation reached Rp502.9 trillion, or 49.8 per cent of total investment realisation in the first half of 2026, while PMA realisation reached Rp507.6 trillion, equivalent to 50.2 per cent of the total.
In terms of the origin of foreign investment, Singapore remained Indonesia’s largest investor in the first half of 2026 with investment valued at US$8.8 billion, followed by Hong Kong at US$7.6 billion, China at US$3.9 billion, Japan at US$1.9 billion, and the United States at US$1.7 billion.
These five countries contributed around 77.8 per cent of total PMA entering Indonesia during the first half of 2026.
Rosan affirmed that the investment achievement demonstrates that investor confidence in Indonesia’s economic prospects remains intact despite ongoing global uncertainty.
“Amid the world’s geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges, alhamdulillah, I can say that investors’ commitment to invest directly in Indonesia, or foreign direct investment, remains in line with the target set by the President for us for 2026,” said Rosan.
