Investment of Rp497 Trillion Enters Indonesia in January to March 2026

Indonesia successfully attracted Rp497 trillion in investments during the period from January to March 2026. This was conveyed by the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Roeslani during a working meeting with Commission XII of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) in Jakarta on Monday, 13 April.

According to Rosan, the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) recorded that the investment realisation entering Indonesia in the first quarter of 2026 is projected to reach Rp497 trillion, an increase of 6.9 percent compared to the same period last year.

This represents a positive achievement amid global dynamics. Rosan noted that they are still awaiting the exact calculation of the investment realisation until 15 April. The Rp497 trillion investment realisation in the first quarter of 2026 is expected to create around 627,000 new jobs.

For comparison, the investment realisation in the first quarter of 2025 was Rp465 trillion, absorbing 594,000 workers. Rosan added that the government’s intensified downstreaming programme is one of the main contributors to the high investment realisation.

Investments in the basic metal industry sector from January to March 2026 reached Rp67 trillion, the largest among other sectors. This was followed by transportation, warehousing, and logistics at Rp54 trillion. Then mining at Rp51 trillion, other services (data centres and others) at Rp43 trillion, and housing and property developments at Rp36 trillion. Jakarta became the largest investment destination with a realisation of Rp74 trillion, followed by West Java at Rp72 trillion, East Java at Rp38 trillion, Central Sulawesi at Rp34 trillion, and Banten at Rp33 trillion.

Singapore, China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States (US) remain the largest countries for foreign capital investment in Indonesia from January to March 2026.
