Government Still Needs to Chase Rp962.7 Trillion in Investment to Meet 2025 Target
JAKARTA — The Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) reported that investment realisation in the first semester of 2025, spanning January to June, reached Rp942.9 trillion. This figure represents 49.5 per cent of the government's target of Rp1,905.6 trillion. Notably, the first-semester figures exclude upstream oil and gas and financial services.
Investment Minister/BKPM Head Rosan Roeslani stated that the Rp942.9 trillion in realised investment grew 13.6 per cent year on year. The investment achievement absorbed 1.25 million jobs.
"This achievement is very much in line with our plans, having reached 49.5 per cent of the Rp1,905.6 trillion target," said Rosan at a press conference at the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM office in Jakarta on Tuesday (29 July).
He also reported that first-semester 2025 investment was dominated by domestic investment (PMDN), which reached Rp510.3 trillion with a 54.1 per cent share. Meanwhile, foreign direct investment (PMA) was realised at Rp432.6 trillion, accounting for 45.9 per cent.
According to Rosan, both figures represent strong results. The BKPM head also noted that investment outside Java was higher than on the island. Investment outside Java was realised at Rp476 trillion or 50.5 per cent, whilst investment in Java reached Rp466.9 trillion at 49.5 per cent.
"We can also see that domestic investment has considerable strength," Rosan explained.
Overall, with Rp942.9 trillion realised in the first semester, a further Rp962.7 trillion — approximately 40.5 per cent — is still needed to meet the Rp1,905.6 trillion target.
Rosan affirmed that the 13.6 per cent annual increase in investment serves as evidence that business players, both domestic and foreign, see positive prospects in the Indonesian economy.
The five largest contributing provinces for first-semester 2025 investment were West Java at Rp141.0 trillion, DKI Jakarta at Rp140.8 trillion, East Java at Rp74.7 trillion, Central Sulawesi at Rp64.2 trillion, and Banten at Rp60.7 trillion.
By country of origin for the largest foreign investment in the first semester of 2025, Singapore led with US$8.8 billion, followed by Hong Kong at US$4.6 billion, China at US$3.6 billion, Malaysia at US$1.7 billion, and Japan at US$1.6 billion.
Rosan added that throughout the first semester of 2025, total employment absorbed through investment activities reached 1,259,868 people. Previously, the Ministry of Investment/BKPM had also reported second-quarter 2025 investment of Rp477.7 trillion, representing 11.5 per cent year-on-year growth.
