Indonesia optimistic about achieving Rp497 T investment in Q1 2026
In a meeting with Commission XII of the House of Representatives (DPR) in Jakarta on Monday, he noted that investment is expected to create 627,000 jobs, 5.5 percent higher than in the same period last year.
According to him, the 2026 national investment target is set at Rp2,041.3 trillion, in line with the 2026 Government Work Plan. This target is part of an effort to drive economic growth toward eight percent in accordance with the 2025–2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN).
Roeslani noted that downstreaming continues to contribute significantly, accounting for approximately 30 percent of total investment inflows into Indonesia.
According to the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming’s report, the subsectors expected to see the highest investment realization in Q1 2026 include the base metal industry (approximately Rp67 trillion); transportation, warehousing, and telecommunications (approximately Rp54 trillion); and the mining sector (approximately Rp51 trillion).
In addition, investment contributions are expected from other services (around Rp43 trillion), as well as housing, industrial estates, and office spaces (around Rp36 trillion).
Based on the regions, Jakarta is projected to be the province that secured the highest investment, at Rp74 trillion, followed by West Java (Rp72 trillion), East Java (Rp38 trillion), Central Sulawesi (Rp34 trillion), and Banten (Rp33 trillion).
The minister noted that Singapore, China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States remain the top contributors of investment to Indonesia.
“Despite challenges from rising geopolitical and geoeconomic tensions, we see that opportunities remain open because Indonesia is welcomed by all nations due to its open foreign policy,” he remarked.
Minister Roeslani emphasized that the Indonesian government will continue to strengthen various policies to maintain investment growth momentum and support the achievement of national economic targets.
“We are continuously working to reduce uncertainty, and this has had a positive impact, keeping investment interest high,” he said.
