Targeting 8 Per Cent Economic Growth, Indonesia Requires Rp13,032 Trillion in Investment
The Indonesian government is targeting total investment realisation of Rp13,032.8 trillion during the 2025–2029 period in order to achieve 8 per cent economic growth by 2029.
Deputy for Investment Climate Development at the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, Riyatno, conveyed this at the Grab Business Forum 2025 held at the Fairmont Hotel in Jakarta on Thursday (8 May).
"To achieve 8 per cent economic growth, the investment required during the 2025 to 2029 period is Rp13,032.8 trillion," said Riyatno.
He explained that the total investment is projected to create up to 3.47 million jobs spread across Indonesia, both on Java and beyond.
The investment target will increase gradually each year. The government is targeting Rp1,905 trillion in 2025, rising to Rp2,175 trillion in 2026. For 2027, the target is set at Rp2,567 trillion, climbing to Rp2,969 trillion in 2028, and reaching its peak of Rp3,414 trillion in 2029.
"The target is enormous. Over the next five years, the figure far exceeds the total investment of the past 10 years," he added.
To support the achievement of these targets, the government continues to improve the investment climate in Indonesia, including through the simplification of business licensing. One such effort is the development of the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, an integrated electronic business licensing platform.
Riyatno also noted that these policy reforms have successfully improved Indonesia's ranking in global investment ease. According to The World Competitiveness Index 2024, Indonesia ranked 27th, up seven places from its previous position of 37th.
"This year we are already at 27th in the world. This demonstrates significant improvement in ease of investment," he said.
