South Sumatra's investment realisation reaches Rp62.67 trillion in 2025

Palembang — The South Sumatra Provincial Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP Sumsel) has recorded investment realisations in the region throughout 2025 reaching Rp62.67 trillion.

The Head of DPMPTSP Sumsel, Lusapta Yudha Kurnia, stated in Palembang on Tuesday that throughout 2025, investment realisations in South Sumatra reached Rp62.67 trillion, comprising foreign direct investment (FDI) valued at Rp15.47 trillion, domestic direct investment (DDI) of Rp47.19 trillion, and employment absorption of 61,529 persons.

There are five countries contributing the largest shares to investment realisations in South Sumatra: Singapore at Rp10.27 trillion, China at Rp1.88 trillion, Japan at Rp1.18 trillion, Malaysia at Rp700 billion, and the United Kingdom at Rp509 billion.

The distribution of FDI locations is concentrated in Ogan Komering Ilir District (OKI), Muara Enim, Palembang, Banyuasin, and Musi Rawas. Meanwhile, DDI investments are spread across Palembang City, Musi Banyuasin, Muara Enim, Lahat, and Ogan Ilir.

On an annual basis, investment realisations in South Sumatra have declined compared to the previous year. In 2024, investment realisations were recorded at Rp70.92 trillion, whilst in 2025 they reached Rp62.67 trillion, representing a decrease of approximately Rp8 trillion.

The decline was influenced by the slowing optimisation of FDI, particularly as large projects such as PT OKI Pulp & Paper had recorded significant investment values in the previous year.

“Although the target has not yet reached the national figure of Rp78.85 trillion, this achievement still demonstrates performance that exceeds regional planning,” he said.
