Indonesia is aiming for an ambitious economic growth target of 8%, which requires an estimated USD 800 billion in investment over the next five years. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, announced this during the Russia-Indonesia Business Forum in Jakarta on April 14, 2025. The government is seeking strategic investment across various sectors, especially food and energy self-sufficiency, renewable energy, downstream industrialization, and boosting exports amid global tariff uncertainties.

Airlangga highlighted the government’s priority to develop value-added industries, particularly in mineral processing such as nickel, copper, and bauxite, along with agricultural products like palm oil. In discussions with Russian stakeholders, potential areas of collaboration include oil and gas, cybersecurity, and small modular reactors. Other sectors under consideration include healthcare, education, and tourism, with President Prabowo emphasizing student exchange programs. Airlangga also noted the possible involvement of the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (Danantara) in managing strategic investments, especially those aligning with Russian interest in aluminum and energy. This proactive investment approach is intended to propel Indonesia’s economic resilience and global competitiveness.
