Two Foreign Investors Seek to Form Joint Investment Fund with Danantara
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Head of the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara), Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, revealed that two foreign investors wish to invest through the government's newly established body. Rosan said the investment offers were received following President Prabowo Subianto's state visit to Qatar, during which Qatar committed to investing US$2 billion in Danantara.
"Two parties immediately contacted us, contacted me as well, to jointly establish an investment fund company together with Danantara," Rosan said during an online press conference via YouTube on Wednesday, 23 April 2025.
Rosan said the investors plan to invest in several sectors, including infrastructure. However, he declined to elaborate on the details of the investment plans. "God willing, this can also be realised," he said.
According to Rosan, the interest from the two investors demonstrates growing global confidence in Indonesia. He said this increasing investor confidence is reflected in Indonesia's investment achievements during the first quarter of 2025.
Rosan, who also serves as Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), stated that Rp465.2 trillion in investment was realised during the January–March 2025 period.
"In this first quarter, the investment that has come in, been realised and disbursed stands at Rp465.2 trillion, or approximately 24.4 per cent," he said.
This figure represents roughly 24.4 per cent of the 2025 total investment target of Rp1,905.6 trillion. He also noted an increase in investment inflows during Q1 2025 compared to the previous year, with a 15.9 per cent rise from the Rp401.5 trillion recorded in Q1 2024.
Rosan said the increase demonstrates confidence from both foreign and domestic investors in investing in Indonesia. "As we all know, investment is a long-term commitment," he said.
Rosan disclosed that the largest source of capital in Q1 came from domestic investors, totalling approximately Rp234 trillion or 50.5 per cent, whilst foreign investment accounted for Rp230.4 trillion or 49.5 per cent.
Singapore was the largest contributing country, with Rosan noting it has consistently been the top foreign investor over the past decade. Singapore's investment in Indonesia during Q1 reached US$4.6 billion, followed by Hong Kong at US$2.2 billion, China at US$1.8 billion, Malaysia at US$1 billion, and Japan at US$1 billion.
