Rosan Reports to President Prabowo: Indonesia Remains an Investor Favourite

Investment Minister and Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, has stated that global investor interest in Indonesia remains strong, particularly amid rising geopolitical and geo-economic tensions worldwide. Rosan conveyed this after meeting with the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto. He reported on the progress of national investment realisations for the first quarter of 2026 at the State Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday, 21 April 2026. Rosan emphasised that global dynamics such as conflicts and economic uncertainties have not diminished investors’ interest in Indonesia. “Regardless of the current situation, the war, global geopolitics, and geo-economics, their interest and willingness to invest in Indonesia is very high and remains very positive,” Rosan said. According to Rosan, this optimism is evident from the outcomes of a series of working visits and meetings with global business actors in various countries, including Singapore, China, South Korea, and Japan. In every agenda of these working visits, whether in large forums or limited meetings with Prabowo, it was explained that Indonesia remains their favourite investment destination. Rosan elaborated that several gathered investment commitments show significant figures. From Japan, the recorded investment potential approaches USD 30 billion, while from South Korea it reaches around USD 10 billion. Investments from China are also said to remain high and consistent. Rosan added that this positive trend aligns with the national investment target, which is set to increase significantly over the next five years. If during the 2014–2024 period the total investment realisation reached around Rp9,100 trillion, then for the 2025–2029 period the target is raised to more than Rp13,000 trillion. “The increase is indeed quite significant, but alhamdulillah, those targets are still achievable. We hope this can be maintained,” he added.
