Jakarta Investment Reaches Rp 173.6 Trillion in First Half of 2026
Investment realisation in Jakarta reached Rp 173.6 trillion throughout the first semester of 2026. This value is equivalent to 17.2% of the total national investment realisation.
The Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Roeslani, stated that this achievement reinforces Jakarta’s position as one of the primary growth and investment hubs, providing a significant contribution to the Indonesian economy.
“Jakarta contributes very significantly to the total investment realisation in Indonesia, and if we look at the data, Jakarta almost always ranks within the top five, even reaching first place this semester,” Rosan said in an official statement, as reported on Monday (3ly/31/8).
In addition to being an investment hub, Jakarta also contributed 16.3% to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the second quarter of 2026.
Jakarta’s investment realisation in the first semester of 2026 was supported by several key sectors. The transport, warehousing, and telecommunications sector was the largest contributor with an investment of Rp 54.4 trillion, or 31.3% of Jakarta’s total investment.
Furthermore, the other services sector, which includes activities such as web hosting, data centres, web portals, and hospitals, recorded an investment of Rp 43.6 trillion, or 25.1%.
The trade and repair sector contributed Rp 28.4 trillion, or 16.4%. Subsequently, the housing and office sector recorded an investment of Rp 14 trillion, or 8.1%, while the construction sector reached Rp 12.9 trillion, or 7.4%.
Rosan assessed that Jakarta’s position is becoming increasingly strategic alongside the development of Indonesia’s digital economy. The national digital economy is projected to reach US$ 360 billion by 2030.
Therefore, the strengthening of digital infrastructure, including the development of data centres and artificial intelligence (AI) based technology, is expected to further increase Jakarta’s investment attractiveness.
According to Rosan, the direction of global investment is also beginning to shift towards strategic sectors that will shape the future economy, including digital infrastructure, AI, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and critical minerals.
“The next stage of downstreaming is not only focused on minerals and their processing, but also extends to digital infrastructure, technology, innovation, and industries that will determine future global growth. Jakarta plays a very important role in this journey,” he said.
In addition to being an investment hub, Jakarta is also being prepared as the starting point for an international financial centre in Indonesia. This role is expected to strengthen legal certainty while encouraging the implementation of international standard business practices.
Rosan stated that investment decisions are no longer solely determined by traditional factors such as the size of the domestic market and low production costs.
Investors are also considering stability, business certainty, strong partnerships, infrastructure reliability, and clarity of long-term vision.
To strengthen the investment climate, the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM continues to simplify and accelerate licensing services, increase legal and regulatory certainty, and make business processes more predictable.
BKPM is also facilitating and resolving various obstacles or debottlenecking faced by investment projects, including those located in Jakarta.
These efforts are carried out through coordination with Local Governments, relevant ministries/agencies, and other stakeholders to ensure that investment commitments can be realised promptly and provide economic benefits.
Rosan emphasised that BKPM will continue to collaborate with the Jakarta Government to ensure that existing investment projects can be facilitated and implemented effectively.
