Investment Realisation Reaches Rp1,010 Trillion in First Half, Dominated by Regions Outside Java

The government recorded investment realisation of Rp1,010.6 trillion throughout the first half of 2026, representing growth of 7.2 per cent compared to the same period the previous year, with the majority of investment realised outside Java. With this achievement, Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Roeslani said the government has reached 49.5 per cent of this year’s investment realisation target, which is set at Rp2,041.3 trillion. He added that Indonesia’s investment realisation is on the right track to meet the 2026 target. The realised investment also successfully absorbed 1.44 million workers, a 15 per cent increase compared to the same period last year. “Alhamdulillah, I can convey here that the commitment of investors to invest directly in Indonesia remains in line with the targets set for 2026,” Rosan said during a press conference on Thursday (16/7). Rosan continued that in terms of regional distribution, investment outside Java again recorded a larger share compared to Java, in line with efforts to equalise economic development. Investment realisation in Java reached Rp502.8 trillion, or approximately 49.8 per cent of the total, while realisation outside Java reached Rp507.8 trillion, or 50.2 per cent. Rosan further explained that the realisation of Domestic Direct Investment (PMDN) and Foreign Direct Investment (PMA) in the January to June 2026 period was relatively balanced. PMDN realisation reached Rp502.9 trillion, or 49.8 per cent of the total, while PMA realisation reached Rp507.6 trillion, equivalent to 50.2 per cent. In terms of foreign investment origin, Singapore remained the largest investor in Indonesia during the first half of 2026, with an investment value of USD 8.8 billion, followed by Hong Kong at USD 7.6 billion, China at USD 3.9 billion, Japan at USD 1.9 billion, and the United States at USD 1.7 billion. These five countries accounted for approximately 77.8 per cent of total PMA entering Indonesia during the period. Rosan emphasised that the investment achievement demonstrates that investor confidence in Indonesia’s economic prospects remains intact despite ongoing global uncertainty. “Amidst the world’s geopolitical and geo-economic challenges, alhamdulillah I can convey here that the commitment of investors to invest directly in Indonesia, or foreign direct investment, remains in line with the targets set by the President for us in 2026,” Rosan said.
