Global Tensions Heat Up, Minister Rosan Roeslani Says Indonesia Is Increasingly Attracting Foreign Investors

Investment Minister and Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Roeslani, believes that the heating up of global geopolitical tensions actually opens up major opportunities for Indonesia to attract foreign investment.

Rosan expressed this view during a working meeting with Commission XIII of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) at the Parliamentary Complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on Monday (13/4/2026).

“The challenges of rising geopolitics and geo-economics lately, but we see that this opportunity is always open because Indonesia is a country accepted by all nations in line with our open and non-alignment foreign policy,” Rosan said during the meeting.

Rosan revealed that this position makes Indonesia accepted by various global power blocs, from the United States and Western countries to China and Russia.

“This also provides opportunities, as we see with the tensions especially in Middle Eastern countries, investors through those Middle Eastern countries are also speaking intensively to us and we are actively meeting those potential investors,” he said.

“They (investors) see Indonesia becoming even more attractive because one of our strengths is that we can always maintain what they say first, peace and stability,” Rosan stated.

According to him, political stability, security, and investment climate become Indonesia’s main attractions amid global uncertainty.

“So the interest in stability becomes very important things and that is what Indonesia has proven that we can maintain that stability as a priority,” Rosan said.

“Whether we meet in large groups or one-on-one or meet with twelve, because every time we go abroad, the President always makes time to meet with the business world,” he emphasised.
