Downstream investment will contribute nearly 30% of total national investment in the first half of 2025, reaching over IDR 950 trillion. This was conveyed by the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, during the "Submission of Pre-Feasibility Study Documents for Priority Downstream Projects and National Energy Security" event at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Secretariat Building in Jakarta on Tuesday (July 22th, 2025). "The contribution from downstreaming is very significant, around 30% of total investment in the first half. This demonstrates investor confidence in the direction of the national downstreaming policy," Rosan said in his remarks. According to him, downstreaming will not only target the mineral sector but also encompass plantations, agriculture, and other strategic sectors. The government is promoting the implementation of 18 priority downstreaming projects, which are estimated to generate IDR 618 trillion in investment and create more than 270,000 jobs. He added that investor confidence in Indonesia continues to grow, as evidenced by the influx of various foreign funds. "In the past four months, we have secured investment commitments worth USD 7 billion, including from Qatar, China Investment Corporation (CIC), and Robo Inu Finance (RBIF)," he said.
Furthermore, the government has also secured a USD 10 billion loan from a consortium of 12 foreign banks without collateral. "This is the largest syndicated loan ever obtained by the Indonesian public sector and demonstrates the extraordinary trust of the global market," he said. On the occasion, Rosan appreciated the active role of the National Downstream and Energy Security Task Force, led by Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia, as well as the support from various parties, including SKK Migas and BPH Migas. He emphasized the importance of cross-sector collaboration to realize these projects sustainably and on target. "Incoming investment must generate tangible benefits for the community, especially the creation of quality jobs," he said. The Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), he said, is ready to follow up on the submitted pre-feasibility study documents and is coordinating closely with all stakeholders. "We cannot work alone. This is a major undertaking, and it can only be accomplished through collaboration," he concluded.
