Prabowo receives Rosan's report: H1 2026 FDI on track with target

Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto received a report from the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM Rosan Perkasa Roeslani on investment realisation and achievements for the second quarter of 2026 and the first half of 2026, including foreign direct investment (FDI) that remains in line with target.

According to Rosan, these achievements show that investors still view Indonesia as a country with a conducive investment climate, particularly amid global geopolitical dynamics, especially in the Middle East region.

“Alhamdulillah, I can convey here that the commitment from investors to invest directly in Indonesia, or foreign direct investment, remains in line with the target set out for us by Bappenas for 2026,” said Rosan Perkasa Roeslani at a press conference at the President’s Office, the Presidential Palace of the Republic of Indonesia, Jakarta, on Thursday.

Rosan, who met journalists immediately after his audience with the President, explained that the investment target assigned to the Ministry of Investment for 2026 is Rp2,041.3 trillion. For the period from January to June 2026, or the first half of 2026, Rosan said total investment entering Indonesia amounted to Rp1,010.6 trillion.

“An increase of 7.2 percent year-on-year, and this is in line with our target; it represents 49.5 percent of the total one-year target,” said the Investment Minister.

Rosan then emphasised that the workforce absorbed by the capital injection entering the country amounted to 1,448,862 people. “Roughly an increase of 15 percent compared with the previous year,” said Rosan.

Meanwhile, regarding the composition of incoming investment, namely foreign investment (PMA) and domestic investment (PMDN), Rosan said the figures were roughly equal. “Total domestic investment reached Rp502.9 trillion or 49.8 percent, and foreign investment reached Rp507.6 trillion. If we look at the comparison between Java and outside Java, it is again almost the same; Java accounts for 49.8 percent or Rp502.8 trillion, an increase of 7.7 percent, while outside Java saw an increase of 6.7 percent compared with the previous year, or Rp507.8 trillion,” said Investment Minister Rosan Perkasa Roeslani.

Rosan explained that these achievements occurred because investors see Indonesia’s investment climate as relatively better compared with other ASEAN countries.

“For example, compared with Thailand and Malaysia, we are relatively stable in terms of economic growth, and also stable in terms of politics and society. When they invest, this is a long-term commitment; if they invest in FDI, it is not like investing in the capital market where they can enter and exit at any time. FDI is a long-term commitment. So they also want to ensure that, oh, we are investing not for 1, 2, 5, 10 years, but for as long as possible, so stability becomes the key factor,” said Rosan.
