Government Targets Rp13,000 Trillion Investment Over Five Years
The government, through the Ministry of Investment and Hilirisasi and BKPM, targets Rp13,000 trillion in investment realisation over the next five years. This ambitious target is described as a concrete step supporting President Prabowo Subianto’s directive to achieve national economic growth of 8%.
Deputy Minister of Investment and Hilirisasi and Deputy Head of BKPM, Todotua Pasaribu, said the target is not merely an investment plan but a tangible achievement to be pursued gradually and systematically.
Over the past decade, the government has realised investments totalling Rp9,900 trillion. In 2024 alone, investment reached Rp1,700 trillion, surpassing the initial target of Rp1,650 trillion.
For 2025, BKPM targets Rp1,900 trillion of investment. Todotua is optimistic the figure will be achieved, given that investment realisation in the first quarter of 2025 has already reached Rp465 trillion.
“With these achievements, I am confident the five-year target can be pursued together, especially if carried out in collaboration with all stakeholders,” Todotua said.
To foster a healthy and business-friendly investment climate, the Ministry is drafting an Amendment Plan to three main regulations, namely BKPM Regulation No. 3, 4, and 5 of 2021. The revisions follow the issuance of Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025 on the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing, a key part of the structural reform of the national investment sector.
“Regulatory refinements will strengthen the OSS system, streamline procedures, and provide legal certainty for investors, both domestic and foreign,” Todotua added.
Todotua acknowledged that the Rp13,000 trillion figure over five years does seem ambitious. However, he said it remains within realistic bounds so long as there is seriousness and synergy among agencies, including the business world and local governments.
The government also continues to open investment cooperation channels, both bilaterally and multilaterally. A concrete example is the agreement between Danantara and a Saudi Arabian company worth Rp162 trillion, and increased investment in the food and beverage sector by Rp22.63 trillion in the first quarter of this year.
The investment target is expected to flow into strategic sectors, including manufacturing, renewable energy, infrastructure, downstreaming of natural resources, as well as agriculture and modern livestock farming. The government also places particular emphasis on investments based on innovation and sustainable job creation.
“Transforming the economy will not be achieved without the courage to attract and manage large investments. Therefore, we will continue to improve regulations and services,” concluded Todotua.
