JAKARTA - Investment realisation in the first quarter of 2026 reached Rp498.79 trillion, slightly above the Rp497 trillion target. Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM Rosan Perkasa Roeslani stated that this achievement equates to 100.36% of the target and grew 7.22% compared to the same period last year. “Alhamdulillah, it has been achieved,” said Rosan to reporters at the Presidential Palace complex in Jakarta on Tuesday, 21 April. Not only did the investment value rise. Rosan said job absorption also reached 706,569 people, or grew 18.93% annually. According to Rosan, the composition of domestic and foreign investment is nearly balanced. The share of domestic investment (PMDN) reached 49.89%, while foreign investment (PMA) hit Rp249.94 trillion. In terms of regions, investment outside Java was slightly larger at 50.37%, compared to Java at 49.63% or Rp247.53 trillion. The five regions with the largest investment realisations came from DKI Jakarta, West Java, Banten, East Java, and Central Java. Meanwhile, the top five investor countries were Singapore at around US$4.6 billion, Hong Kong US$2.7 billion, China US$2.2 billion, the United States US$1.7 billion, and Japan US$1 billion. Rosan said foreign investor interest remains high despite the world being overshadowed by wars, geopolitics, and geo-economics. He mentioned having recently toured Singapore, China, Korea, and Japan, and accompanying the President in meeting business actors in those countries. “Their interest and enthusiasm for investing in Indonesia is very high, still very good,” he said. The sectors that absorbed the most investment in the first quarter of 2026 were basic metals industry and metal goods, followed by other services Rp60.2 trillion, mining Rp51.9 trillion, housing and industrial estates Rp47.9 trillion, and transportation, warehousing, and telecommunications Rp45.4 trillion.
