Rosan: Global Investors Remain Committed to Investing in Indonesia Despite Dynamic Geopolitics
Investment Minister and Head of BKPM, Rosan Roeslani, has stated that global investors from various major partner countries continue to show strong commitment to investing in Indonesia, despite the dynamic global geopolitical situation.
He said that this commitment is evident from direct meetings between the Indonesian government and business actors in several countries.
“So far, they remain committed, and investments continue to proceed. Particularly in various industrial sectors and downstreaming,” Rosan said after a working meeting with Commission XII of the DPR RI at the parliamentary complex in Jakarta on Monday, 13 April 2026.
Rosan explained that countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea, which have long been among the top five investors in Indonesia, still have significant interest in continuing their investments.
According to him, the results of dialogues with business actors in those countries indicate that the current global conditions have not yet affected their investment plans in Indonesia.
In addition, Rosan revealed that investment interest from the Middle East region is actually increasing amid the current global situation.
“This is actually the investors through Middle Eastern countries who are also speaking intensively to us, and we are also actively meeting with those potential investors,” he said.
He added that the government continues to actively engage in communication with investors through various forums, both on a large scale and in limited meetings, to obtain direct input.
“Both in large meetings with 100 to 200 people, or small meetings with 12 people, 10 people, in every country, we get direct input and feedback,” he revealed.
Rosan assessed that political stability, security, and a conducive investment climate are the main factors maintaining global investors’ confidence in Indonesia.
On the other hand, domestic business activities are also showing an upward trend. He mentioned that the number of domestic business registrations has increased in recent months.
“In the last five months, there have been 1.8 million registrations, both from MSMEs and our entrepreneurs who want to invest,” he stated, quoted from Antara.
Previously, the government recorded that President Prabowo Subianto’s visit to Japan on 31 March 2026 successfully strengthened investment commitments worth around 23.6 billion US dollars or equivalent to Rp401 trillion for various strategic projects.
Additionally, the President’s visit to South Korea on 1 April 2026 also resulted in significant investment commitments, including the signing of several memoranda of understanding (MoUs) between businesses from both countries worth 10.2 billion US dollars or around Rp173 trillion.
Rosan views these various commitments as strong evidence of global investors’ confidence in Indonesia’s economic prospects, even as the world faces uncertainty.
According to him, the combination of national stability, increasing domestic business activity, and global investment support are the main factors keeping investment flows positive.
