This Country Has Been the King of Investment in Indonesia for 10 Consecutive Years
Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM Rosan Roeslani stated that Singapore remains the country with the highest investment level in Indonesia. Rosan noted that Singapore’s foreign direct investment (FDI) realisation in the first quarter of 2026 was recorded at $4.6 billion.
“Indeed, if we look at the past 10 years, Singapore has consistently been the largest FDI country to Indonesia, at approximately $4.6 billion,” said Rosan during a press conference on Q1 2026 Investment Realisation and Implementation of KBLI 2025 at the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM Office in Jakarta on Thursday (23/4/2026).
Rosan said that the second to fifth rankings are occupied by Hong Kong and China with $2.7 billion, China with $2.2 billion, the United States with $1.3 billion, and Japan at $1 billion. Rosan stated that West Java became the region with the highest FDI realisation in Q1 2026 at $3.1 billion (20.2%).
“Then there is Jakarta with $1.9 billion (12.3%), Central Sulawesi with $1.8 billion (12.2%), North Maluku with $1.3 billion (8.9%), and Riau Islands with $900 million (5.6%),” Rosan continued.
Rosan conveyed that the investment realisation for the first quarter (January-March) of 2026 was recorded at Rp498.8 trillion, or 24.4% of the 2026 investment target of Rp2,041.3 trillion. Rosan detailed that FDI in Q1 2026 was recorded at Rp250 trillion or 50.1%, and domestic investment (DI) at Rp248.8 trillion or 49.9%.
“If we look deeper, the contributions from FDI and DI are actually almost equal. Although FDI is slightly higher, approximately Rp250 trillion compared to Rp248.8 trillion,” said the CEO of Danantara Indonesia.
Rosan explained that the Q1 2026 investment realisation is quite balanced in terms of investment locations. He said that investment realisation outside Java was recorded at Rp251.3 trillion (50.4%), growing 6.5% year-on-year, and on Java Island at Rp247.5 trillion (49.6%), or growing 7.9% year-on-year.
“If we look at the comparison between investments on Java Island and outside Java Island, they are also relatively similar, with a difference of only about Rp4 trillion,” Rosan added.
