Foreign Investment Interest in Indonesia Increases Amid Global Uncertainty
In the midst of uncertain global geopolitical dynamics, interest from foreign investors in Indonesia has experienced a significant increase. Minister of Investment/Head of BKPM and CEO of BPI Danantara, Rosan Roeslani, stated that large-scale investment commitments continue to flow from various strategic partner countries.
After reporting on investment developments to President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday, 21 April 2026, Rosan revealed that his working visits to several countries reflect the high level of global confidence in Indonesia’s economy.
“Yes, coincidentally, I’ve been travelling around; just last week, I actually returned from Singapore and was immediately summoned here by Mr President (Prabowo),” he explained.
Rosan explained that during every visit with the President to various countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan, the government actively engages in communication with business actors through large forums as well as limited meetings.
According to him, even though the world is facing geopolitical tensions and geo-economic pressures, investment interest in Indonesia remains high and continues to show a positive trend.
“And from what we see, despite the current situation—wars, global geopolitics, global geo-economics—their interest in investing in Indonesia is very high; it’s still very, very good,” he clarified.
This is reflected in the realisation of investments that continue to proceed according to plan, even experiencing a quite substantial increase compared to previous periods.
“And this is proven by the investments coming in, which are still in line with our plans. Although they have also experienced a very significant increase, if I may say so,” he stated.
Rosan mentioned that over the last decade (2014–2024), total investment entering Indonesia reached approximately Rp9,100 trillion. Meanwhile, for the next five years (2025–2029), the target is a sharp increase to more than Rp13,000 trillion.
“Well, for the five years from 2025-2029, the target given to us by Bappenas is more than Rp13,000 trillion. So the increase is indeed quite significant, but alhamdulillah, we can still achieve those targets,” said Rosan.
“In Japan, if I’m not mistaken, it’s almost more than US$30 billion. More than US$30 billion. In Korea, it reached almost US$10 billion at that time. More than US$10 billion as well. So alhamdulillah, it’s very, very good,” he elaborated.
“China’s investments remain high as well, which will enter our country in collaboration with us. Their investments are also very well maintained and very good,” he continued.
In terms of composition, investments in Indonesia are now increasingly balanced between Domestic Investment (PMDN) and Foreign Investment (PMA). Meanwhile, the top five investing countries are still dominated by Singapore, Hong Kong, China, the United States, and Japan.
“And the countries, although we have details, but the top five are Singapore at around US$4.6 billion, Hong Kong US$2.7 billion, China US$2.2 billion, United States US$1.7 billion, Japan US$1 billion,” he emphasised.
Rosan added that these figures only cover about 29 percent of the total investments entering, indicating the vast opportunities for additional investments ahead.
With the substantial investment commitments from various countries, Indonesia is considered increasingly strong as a primary global investment destination, even amid global economic and political uncertainty.
