The Minister of Investment and Downstreaming, and Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Roeslani, announced that the government is targeting an investment of IDR 13.032 trillion over the next five years. During a press statement at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on Thursday, January 2, 2025, following a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto, Rosan explained that the investment target for the period 2025-2029 is aimed at boosting the national economy. He outlined that investments in 2025 are expected to reach IDR 1.905 trillion, with the total investment expected to surpass IDR 13 trillion by 2029. "This is what I shared with the President," Rosan stated in a press release from the Presidential Communications Team.
Rosan emphasized that this level of investment is expected to create high-quality jobs and become a key driver of national economic growth, particularly in achieving the target of 8% economic growth by 2029, as set by the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas). He also highlighted that industrial downstreaming will play a significant role in attracting investment to Indonesia. This strategy is expected to increase the contribution of investment to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which currently stands at around 24-25%. In addition to investments from China, including a USD 7.46 billion commitment from four companies in sectors like fiberglass, solar panels, and fisheries, Indonesia is also expecting substantial investments from the United States, the Middle East, and other countries. Despite the ambitious target, Rosan stressed the importance of cross-ministerial and institutional collaboration to achieve this goal.
