Government to Focus on Attracting Investment Across Nine Strategic Sectors
Jakarta — The Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industries/BKPM has announced that the government will focus on attracting investment across nine sectors, ranging from downstream industries and healthcare to Nusantara Capital City (IKN).
Deputy Minister of Investment/Downstream Industries/BKPM Todotua Pasaribu said Indonesia's direct investment policy prioritises strategic sectors aligned with Sustainable Development Goals principles.
"Indonesia's investment policy prioritises strategic sectors that are aligned with Sustainable Development Goals principles, and which hold significant potential to drive economic growth," Todotua said at the Tri Hira Karana Business Summit at his office in South Jakarta on Sunday (25/5/2025).
The nine sectors are as follows:
First, New and Renewable Energy (NRE). The government has targeted a total potential capacity of 3,687 GW, with current installed capacity standing at 13.1 GW.
Second, downstream industries. The investment potential from 28 commodities between 2023 and 2040 is estimated at US$618 billion.
Third, food security, targeting food estates in Merauke Regency, South Papua, as well as sugar and bioethanol projects in Merauke Regency, South Papua.
Fourth, the semiconductor sector, leveraging the availability of raw metal materials for upstream semiconductor industries, namely silica, copper, bauxite and gold.
Fifth, data centres and the digital economy. According to Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industries/BKPM data, Indonesia's digital economy market is projected to reach US$210–360 billion by 2030, with a growth rate of 5.9 per cent (2024–2029).
Sixth, export-oriented manufacturing industries.
Seventh, healthcare, such as the Health Special Economic Zone in Sanur, Bali.
Eighth, Nusantara Capital City (IKN), which still requires investment in housing, education, hospitals and hotels.
Lastly, the education sector.
"Indonesia continues to improve its investment climate and strengthen coordination among stakeholders to facilitate investment," Todotua added.
