Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, announced three key accomplishments achieved from investment realizations between October 2019 and June 2024. According to BKPM data, the first achievement is the significant increase in investment realization during the "Indonesia Maju" Cabinet period compared to the same timeframe previously. Rosan stated in Jakarta on Monday that, from 2019 to June 2024, investment realization reached IDR 5,931.3 trillion, and it is projected to rise to IDR 6,350 trillion by the end of September 2024, with an average annual investment growth rate of 18%.
The second achievement is the direct creation of jobs, where investments during the same period absorbed 7,188,479 Indonesian workers, averaging 1,437,695 jobs per year. The third achievement is the shift in investment distribution, with regions outside Java consistently surpassing Java in terms of investment realization since the third quarter of 2020. Rosan emphasized that these results demonstrate how government policies have been positively received, fostering growth in non-Java regions. The innovative services offered by regional governments and ministries have boosted local competitiveness and improved the national investment climate. This highlights that investment service standards in Indonesia are rising, with continuous efforts to attract more investors.
