JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The government is relying on investment acceleration to achieve the economic growth target of 6 percent by 2027. Investment growth is targeted to reach 7 percent, with most of the financing needs expected to come from the private sector.
Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa stated that investment will be one of the main pillars to drive economic growth next year. The government will act as a catalyst, while the private sector is expected to be the main engine of investment.
“To encourage higher economic growth, specifically 6 percent by 2027, an acceleration of investment growth to 7 percent is required,” said Purbaya during a working meeting with Commission XI of the DPR and the government regarding the basic assumptions in the 2027 State Budget at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday (1/9/2026).
According to Purbaya, achieving this target requires collaboration between the government, the private sector, and the Danantara Investment Management Agency. The government will strengthen the synergy of fiscal, monetary, financial sector policies, and Danantara so that each instrument can function optimally.
Danantara is directed to accelerate productive investment, particularly in strategic sectors and downstream activities that have high added value. Danantara’s investment is even targeted to reach Rp 1,200 trillion by 2027.
The target has been agreed upon in a meeting between Danantara, the Ministry of Finance, the National Development Planning Ministry/National Development Planning Agency, Bank Indonesia, and the leadership of the DPR, on Monday.
After the meeting, Deputy Chairman of Commission XI of the DPR, Fauzi Amro, stated that Danantara’s investment target of IDR 1,200 trillion serves as one of the benchmarks in formulating the economic growth target for 2027. This figure represents an increase of approximately 370.58 percent compared to Danantara’s investment target for 2026, which was IDR 255 trillion.
“Andantara is formulating an investment of Rp 1,200 trillion. If we want the investment of Rp 1,200 trillion to support economic growth, what has been conveyed becomes our benchmark in structuring growth,” said Fauzi.
Meanwhile, Chief Operating Officer of Danantara, Dony Oskaria, stated that investment plays an increasingly significant role in efforts to achieve 6 percent economic growth. Therefore, Danantara is prepared to provide greater support for investment in the coming year.
This target, according to him, was set after policymakers consolidated the macroeconomic assumptions in the 2027 Draft State Budget.
“Because this is for growth. One of the most significant components of that growth is investment,” he said.
The large investment target of Danantara is part of the much larger national investment needs. The Ministry of Finance estimates that the total investment requirement by 2027 will reach Rp 8,705 trillion.
From this need, the capacity of the state budget (APBN) to support investment is estimated to be only around 5 percent. The government estimates that the state budget can support investments amounting to Rp 459 trillion or approximately 5.2 percent of the total requirement.
Meanwhile, state-owned enterprises, including Danantara, are estimated to contribute Rp 330 trillion or approximately 3.8 percent. Thus, around 91 percent or Rp 7,973 trillion must come from private financing.
The Deputy Minister of Finance, Juda Agung, who also attended the meeting, stated that the private financing could come from banking, other financing institutions, or the capital market.
“The remaining majority must come from private financing sources, which amounts to Rp 7,973 trillion or 91 percent from private financing. This includes banks, other financing, and also from the capital market,” he stated.
The significant share of the private sector indicates that achieving economic growth targets cannot rely solely on government spending expansion or state-owned enterprise investments. The government’s ability to create an attractive investment climate becomes crucial for the business world to be willing to increase expansion.
Juda stated that the capital market also plays a strategic role as a source of private financing as it serves as a link between corporate financing needs and public funds.
In addition, the government will optimize the development of the Indonesia International Financial Center (PFII). This financial center is designed as a new financial instrument to support the utilization of Indonesia’s natural resources while also attracting financing into the country.
Finance Minister Purbaya stated that investment acceleration needs to occur alongside macroeconomic stability. Stability is required to provide certainty for business actors, maintain investor confidence, and encourage sustainable investment.
The government will maintain this stability through a number of policies. Controlling inflation has become one of the focuses to preserve the purchasing power of the community, consumption, and the investment climate.
The combination of fiscal and monetary policies will also be directed to keep interest rates competitive to support access to financing, strengthen business confidence, and encourage investment activities. Purbaya is optimistic that the government, together with Bank Indonesia, will continue to maintain the stability of the rupiah exchange rate.
“The policy is aimed at strengthening economic resilience, mitigating global impacts, and providing certainty for the business world in making investment and expansion decisions,” said Purbaya.
The government’s optimism is supported by several economic indicators. In the first semester of 2026, Indonesia’s economy grew by 5.45 percent cumulatively. Inflation remains under control, while
