Indonesia's Q1 2025 Investment Reaches Rp465.2 Trillion, Up 15.9% Year-on-Year
Investment and Downstream Industries Minister/BKPM Head Rosan Roeslani has revealed that investment realisation in the first quarter of 2025 reached Rp465.2 trillion, equivalent to approximately 24.4 per cent of this year's total investment target of Rp1,905.6 trillion.
Roeslani disclosed the figures whilst delivering an investment realisation report to President Prabowo Subianto at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta on Wednesday (23 April 2025).
"The investment in this first quarter is in line with the target set by Bappenas. Compared with the previous year, there has been a year-on-year increase of 15.9 per cent. Last year's figure was Rp401.5 trillion, so this is a very encouraging number," Roeslani said, as quoted from the official Presidential website on Thursday (24 April).
Roeslani stated that the achievement demonstrates high investor confidence, both domestic and international, in Indonesia's stability and investment climate.
He also reported the positive impact of investment on employment, with 594,104 jobs created during the first quarter. "The employment generated from the Rp465.2 trillion investment was 594,104 people, an increase of 8.5 per cent from the previous year," he said.
The Danantara CEO outlined the investment composition as comprising Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of Rp230.4 trillion (49.5 per cent) and Domestic Direct Investment (DDI) of Rp234.8 trillion (50.5 per cent).
By region, investment outside Java reached Rp235.9 trillion, slightly higher than investment in Java at Rp229.3 trillion.
The five largest investor countries were Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, and Japan. According to Roeslani, Singapore remains the largest contributor and has been Indonesia's biggest investor for the past ten years.
"The five major countries are Singapore at approximately US$4.6 billion, followed by Hong Kong at approximately US$2.2 billion, China at US$1.8 billion, Malaysia at US$1 billion, and Japan at US$1 billion," he said.
Regarding the LG investment issue that had drawn attention, Roeslani clarified that the project would continue despite a change in partners.
On the subject of Danantara, Roeslani revealed that the presence of the sovereign wealth fund has further boosted global investor confidence. "They see Danantara's presence as very timely. They also want Danantara to be part of many of their consortiums and investments," he explained.
Roeslani expressed optimism that the positive trend would continue and deliver tangible benefits for the Indonesian nation. "The outside world's confidence in Indonesia is very strong, as evidenced by investment inflows meeting targets. Incoming investment is also increasing, and God willing, this will bring enormous benefits to the nation and the people we love," he concluded.
Also present at the meeting were State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi and Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya.
