Investment Minister Confident 2025 Target of Rp 1,905 Trillion Is Achievable
Jakarta — Investment and Downstreaming Minister/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Roeslani expressed confidence that the 2025 investment target can be met. This year's investment target is set at Rp 1,905 trillion, of which Rp 465.2 trillion (24.4%) had already been realised in the first quarter of 2025.
Rosan also expressed hope that investment realisation figures could exceed the set target. However, this depends on the investment commitments of businesses being realised in Indonesia.
"What we report is when they have already spent — when the investment has been realised in terms of expenditure, that is what we report. Now, looking at the commitments currently underway as well as those forthcoming, God willing, we can achieve this target by the end of 2025," he said at a press conference some time ago, as quoted on Monday (19/5/2025).
Various efforts continue to be made to meet the target, one of which is providing certainty in licensing. The Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM continues to coordinate with other ministries and agencies to improve the business licensing process. The coordination process is currently ongoing and is expected to be realised soon.
Previously, Rosan revealed plans to implement a "fictive positive" mechanism, whereby permits would be issued automatically by his office if the relevant technical ministry or agency fails to issue a permit within the agreed timeframe.
"How do we provide greater certainty, both in terms of time — licensing timeframes — and most importantly, what we are continuing to refine now is cross-ministerial and cross-agency licensing, which will provide greater certainty on timelines," Rosan explained.
Indonesia's investment realisation in the first quarter of 2025 was recorded as rising 15.9% year-on-year from the previous figure of Rp 401.5 trillion. On a quarter-to-quarter basis, investment realisation rose 2.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, which stood at Rp 452.8 trillion.
"The investment target achievement for the first quarter of 2025 reached Rp 465.2 trillion. This is approximately 24.4% of the 2025 target. This is very much in line with our expectations. And most importantly, the increase is 15.9% year-on-year compared to the previous year," Rosan concluded.
