Jakarta — Indonesia's efforts to attract investment face numerous challenges. Beyond the high uncertainty caused by the outbreak of trade wars, Indonesia must compete fiercely with neighbouring countries that are also hunting for investment.

To achieve 8% economic growth, investment is targeted to reach Rp 13,032 trillion by 2029. This year, the investment target stands at Rp 1,905 trillion, of which Rp 465 trillion had been realised in the first quarter of 2025.

The question of how Indonesia plans to meet these investment targets and which potential sectors will be relied upon was thoroughly examined by Deputy Minister of Investment and Downstream Industries/BKPM Todotua Pasaribu in the Indonesia Investment Talk Series hosted by detikcom.

Key issues such as the impact of reciprocal tariff policies on the global economic order, including investment, were also addressed by Todotua. Indonesia's strategy to boost downstream processing through strategic commodities was also set to be developed.

The exclusive interview with the Deputy Minister of Investment formed the first episode of the Indonesia Investment Talk Series, which aired on Monday, 28 April 2025 at 13:00 WIB.

A second episode was scheduled for Wednesday, 30 April 2025 at 13:00 WIB, featuring a panel discussion with prominent figures. The full list of speakers included:

• Nurul Ichwan — Deputy for Investment Promotion at BKPM
• Muhammad Toha — Head of Strategic Minerals, Critical Minerals and Mineral Downstream Processing at PERHAPI
• M. Rizal Taufiqurrahman — Head of the Macroeconomics and Finance Centre at INDEF
• Shinta Kamdani — Chairwoman of APINDO

The panel was set to discuss the opportunities and challenges of industrial downstream processing in Indonesia, from the perspectives of government, business, and academia.

The event was sponsored by PT Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) and SSP, two key players in the domestic downstream processing industry.
