Investment Ministry and EU Sign Cooperation Agreement to Establish EU Desk at BKPM
The Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) and the European Union Delegation to Indonesia have officially signed a cooperation statement for the establishment of an EU Desk within the Ministry's offices, aimed at strengthening collaboration to facilitate increased foreign direct investment (FDI) from the EU to Indonesia.
Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM, Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, expressed optimism that the establishment of the EU Desk would drive greater EU investment in Indonesia. This is in line with President Prabowo Subianto's directive to simplify regulations and policies to reduce bureaucratic barriers, particularly in investment matters.
"We believe the presence of the EU Desk will open more channels of communication and strategic cooperation opportunities that can be mutually leveraged. The European Union is an important partner for Indonesia, and the establishment of this EU Desk will further strengthen collaboration going forward," said Rosan on Monday (16 June 2025).
The EU Desk will serve as a service centre for EU investors seeking to invest in Indonesia. Its functions will include providing market intelligence, business licensing guidance, business cooperation facilitation, identification of potential investment projects, and regulatory policy harmonisation between both parties.
Cooperation will be directed towards future-oriented sectors relevant to the priority policies of both Indonesia and Europe.
Rosan stated that this cooperation also reaffirms Indonesia's commitment to remaining open to collaboration with various strategic partners.
"Of course, we are increasingly open to broader cooperation. I believe that with this EU Desk, more partnerships will be created in the future. We are ready to continue building and strengthening collaboration with the European Union going forward," he said.
