Indonesia Prioritises Nine Strategic Sectors to Attract Investment
Indonesia's investment policy prioritises strategic sectors aligned with Sustainable Development Goals principles, with significant potential to drive economic growth.
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian government is focusing on attracting investment into nine sectors, ranging from industrial downstreaming and renewable energy development to the construction of the new capital city Nusantara (IKN) in East Kalimantan.
This was conveyed by Deputy Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Deputy Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Todotua Pasaribu at the Global Business Summit on Belt and Road Infrastructure Investment in Jakarta on Sunday.
"Indonesia's investment policy prioritises strategic sectors aligned with Sustainable Development Goals principles, with significant potential to drive economic growth," Todotua said.
He outlined the nine sectors as renewable energy utilisation, industrial downstreaming, food security, the semiconductor industry, and digital economy and data centre development. Additionally, the priority areas include export-oriented manufacturing, healthcare facilities, IKN construction, and investment in education and vocational training.
Renewable energy development is being pursued given that Indonesia possesses electrification potential of 3,687 gigawatts (GW) but has only harnessed 13.1 GW of that capacity. Investment in IKN is directed towards infrastructure, education, hospitals and hotels.
Todotua further stated that to enhance investor appeal, the government continues to simplify investment regulations, including revising 79 rules consolidated under the Omnibus Law, centralising investment authority, and streamlining requirements for capital investment.
In addition, the government offers incentives including tax holidays, tax allowances, import duty exemptions and super tax deductions.
Previously, Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM Rosan Perkasa Roeslani announced that investment realisation in the first quarter of 2025 reached Rp465.2 trillion, a 15.9 per cent year-on-year increase compared with the first quarter of 2024 figure of Rp401.5 trillion.
Rosan noted that the first quarter 2025 investment realisation was in line with targets set by the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) for the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming.
