Indonesia's Infrastructure Investment Potential Reaches US$644 Billion, Says Investment Minister
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Investment and Downstreaming Minister/BKPM Head Rosan Perkasa Roeslani stated that Indonesia's potential infrastructure development investment budget reaches US$644 billion.
"Briefly, when I look at the figures regarding potential investment in Indonesia's infrastructure sector, I believe the amount is close to US$644 billion," said Rosan at the International Conference on Infrastructure (ICI) 2025 in Jakarta on Thursday.
He explained that of this potential budget, 40 per cent would be financed by central and regional governments, whilst 30 per cent would come from the private sector.
"The remainder will be funded by our state-owned enterprises, all of which fall under Danantara, Indonesia's sovereign wealth fund," said Rosan.
The government is accelerating investment climate reform through deregulation and strengthening an integrated licensing system across ministries and agencies under the coordination of the Ministry of Investment.
He noted that six ministries have already been integrated into the unified licensing system, with a target of 12 additional ministries to follow shortly in order to expedite and simplify the investment licensing process. However, he did not specify which ministries were involved.
"This will provide a higher level of experience and clarity, a better experience, better reform, and how to obtain licences and permits in a timely manner," Rosan explained.
Minister Rosan emphasised the importance of reform so that investment potential does not merely remain as data, but can be realised into concrete projects that create quality employment.
He said the 2021 Omnibus Law marked an important milestone in deregulation, but the government continues to pursue further reforms to make Indonesia increasingly attractive to both foreign and domestic investors.
With a more efficient and transparent one-stop system, investors are expected to gain clarity in the licensing process and legal certainty, enabling investments to proceed more swiftly and smoothly.
The Ministry of Investment is also promoting digital investment and data centres, given that Indonesia's digital economy is projected to grow from US$130 billion to US$360 billion before 2030.
