Secures Rp 308 Trillion Commitment from Japan, Cabinet Secretary Teddy: Indonesia Becomes World's Investment Magnet

JAKARTA - Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya believes Indonesia has become a global investment magnet after President Prabowo Subianto’s visit to Japan yielded investments worth more than Rp 380 trillion. According to him, global confidence in investing in the country is strengthening due to various domestic transformations. “That is proof that Indonesia has become the world’s investment magnet. That is the first point. Secondly, the outside world is increasingly keen to invest in Indonesia,” Teddy said, quoted from a press release by the Presidential Secretariat on Monday (30/3/2026). The investment commitments are part of the overall Indonesia-Japan cooperation agreements that were previously settled. This demonstrates the continuity and consistency of the increasingly close economic relations between the two countries. “So the investments mentioned are part of the entire Indonesia-Japan agreements. Then, the next day, he will meet with around 12 of Japan’s largest businesspeople by the Minister of Investment and the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources with the President, similar to what was done yesterday in America. So, what is the conclusion? The essence is that with such large investments here, the President came, and Rp 380 trillion in investments arrived,” he said. The meeting is a continuation of the first day’s agenda of the President’s visit, which included a meeting with the Emperor of Japan and the achievement of major investment commitments from Indonesia-Japan cooperation. “So, in addition to meeting the Emperor today, and there being investments of around Rp 380 trillion, tomorrow the President will also meet with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi,” Teddy stated.
