On 1 July 2025, during a plenary meeting of the House of Representatives (DPR), Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati revealed that a minimum of IDR 7.5 trillion in investment is required in 2026 to achieve the 8% economic growth target. In order to achieve optimal economic growth, Sri Mulyani estimates that investment must grow by at least 5.9% next year. Furthermore, Sri Mulyani emphasised that substantial investment is imperative to achieve the stipulated economic growth target, given its 30% contribution to GDP. However, the lower threshold of IDR 7.5 trillion in investment value for next year, as set by Sri Mulyani, is below the target set by the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), which is IDR 8.3654 trillion.
Following the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025–2029, the Ministry of Bappenas has outlined targeted investment values for the next five years. The investment trajectories set out in the plan are expected to reach IDR 7.593.4 trillion in 2025, IDR 8.365.4 trillion in 2026, IDR 9.332.5 trillion in 2027, IDR 10,477.6 trillion in 2028, and IDR 11,818.4 trillion in 2029. The average annual investment is approximately IDR 9,517 trillion. The investment will be sourced from three primary groups: government investment, state-owned enterprise (SOE) investment, and private/public investment. Senior Advisor for Economic Synergy and Financing at the National Development Planning Ministry (PPN)/Bappenas, Rd Siliwanti, emphasised that efficient and transformative investment is one of the keys to driving the economy in the medium term. Therefore, she emphasised the significance of attaining an investment of IDR 47.587.3 trillion during the 2025–2029 period. Bappenas has also set economic growth targets for the 2025–2029 period. The following details are provided: economic growth is projected to reach 5.3% in 2025, 6.3% in 2026, 7.5% in 2027, 7.7% in 2028, and 8% in 2029.
