Indonesia's Infrastructure Investment Needs Reach US$644 Billion, Says Investment Minister Rosan
Investment Minister and BKPM Head Rosan Perkasa Roeslani has revealed that potential investment needs for infrastructure development in Indonesia amount to US$644 billion.
"In brief, when I look at the figures regarding potential investment in Indonesia's infrastructure sector, I believe the total is close to US$644 billion," Rosan said at the International Infrastructure Conference (ICI) 2025 in Jakarta on Thursday (12/6).
He detailed that approximately 40 per cent of the total budget would be financed by central and regional governments, whilst 30 per cent is targeted to come from the private sector. The remainder would be borne by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) through the Danantara holding company.
The government, Rosan said, continues to accelerate investment climate reform through deregulation and the strengthening of cross-ministerial licensing systems. Currently, six ministries have been integrated into the unified licensing system, with a target of 12 additional ministries to follow shortly.
"This will provide a higher level of clarity and a better experience, better reform, in terms of how to obtain licences and permits in a timely manner," he explained.
Rosan emphasised that regulatory reform is crucial to ensure investment potential does not merely remain on paper but can be realised in tangible projects that directly impact job creation.
He also highlighted the importance of the 2021 Omnibus Law as a foundation for reform, which continues to be developed to make Indonesia more competitive for both domestic and foreign investors.
Beyond that, the Investment Ministry is also promoting the development of the digital sector and data centres, in line with projections that Indonesia's digital economy value is expected to surge from US$130 billion to US$360 billion before 2030.
