Investment in Special Economic Zones Surpasses 2024 Target, Reaching Rp90.1 Trillion
Investment Minister and Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Roeslani, announced that investment realisation in Special Economic Zones (KEK) exceeded the target set for 2024. The initial target of Rp78.1 trillion was surpassed, with investment reaching Rp90.1 trillion during the January to December 2024 period.
Rosan made the announcement after attending a limited cabinet meeting with President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Beyond investment figures, Rosan also reported that employment absorption in KEKs during 2024 exceeded expectations. Against an initial target of 38,953 workers, actual absorption reached 47,747 employees. Additionally, 72 new business operators entered KEKs throughout the past year.
Cumulatively, since the programme was first launched in 2012 through to 2024, total investment in KEKs has reached Rp263.4 trillion.
Rosan, who also serves as CEO of Danantara, noted that there are currently 403 business operators active in KEKs, with total employment created amounting to 160,874 workers.
"This achievement demonstrates a positive trend in the attractiveness and effectiveness of KEKs as a strategic instrument in promoting equitable development and national economic growth," Rosan affirmed.
He concluded his statement by deferring further detailed explanation to Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, who was also present at the meeting.
This success further strengthens the role of KEKs as a primary driver of investment and job creation in Indonesia. With consistent growth, KEKs are expected to continue serving as a locomotive for the national economy, attracting more investors and contributing to sustainable development across various regions of Indonesia.
