nvestment from domestic and foreign investors grew roughly in line with expectations in the first quarter of this year at just shy of a quarter of this year’s annual target set by the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas).
Investment and Downstream Minister Rosan Roeslani revealed on Wednesday that realized investment in the first three months of 2025 amounted to Rp 465.2 trillion (US$27.6 billion), or 24.4 percent of the full-year target of Rp 1.9 quadrillion.
“The investment in this first quarter was on track with the target set for us by Bappenas,” Rosan said in a press conference at the State Palace, as reported by state-owned news agency Antara.
His presentation slides seen by The Jakarta Post detail that 49.5 percent of the investment was foreign direct investment (FDI), while the rest came from within the country.
The first-quarter realization marks a 16 percent year-on-year (yoy) increase, up 2.7 percent compared to the preceding quarter.
“These are very encouraging figures. They show confidence, from both international and domestic [investors]. Their investment into Indonesia has been maintained, because we all know that investment is a long-term commitment,” said the minister.
He added that that long-term commitment reflected confidence on the part of investors in President Prabowo Subianto’s capacity to maintain stability.
