Indonesia's Minister of Investment and Downstreaming, Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, highlighted strategic opportunities in green energy and downstream industries during the "Exclusive Dialogue: Mapping Indonesia Investment Trend 2025" in Singapore on December 6, 2024. He emphasized the critical role of international collaboration in strengthening energy security and advancing the downstreaming of strategic commodities. Rosan noted the significant potential of Indonesia's 3,700-gigawatt renewable energy capacity and the nation's strategic position in the global electric vehicle battery and marine-based industries. He also underlined the importance of human resource development to achieve sustainable development goals. The government remains optimistic that cross-sector partnerships will bolster strategic projects and maintain investment sustainability, supported by Indonesia's robust economic growth of 5% in recent years.
In alignment with these objectives, Indonesia’s Ambassador to Singapore, H.E. Suryopratomo, reaffirmed the government's commitment to achieving 8% economic growth during the new administration, driven by digital transformation, green economic acceleration, and regional integration. Singapore has consistently led Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Indonesia, contributing USD 62.16 billion from 2020 to September 2024. Key sectors for Singaporean investment include metal industries excluding machinery and electronics (23%), transportation and telecommunications (16%), food industries (9%), real estate (8%), and paper and printing (7%). This underscores Indonesia's comparative advantages, which are critical to leveraging its demographic bonus and navigating global dynamics through strategic actions that advance the nation’s economic position.
