Indonesia’s Q1 Investment Realization Reaches Rp498.79 Trillion, Surpassing Gov’t Target

President Prabowo Subianto receives report from Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry Rosan Roeslani at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Tuesday (04/21).

Indonesia’s investment realization in the first quarter of 2026 reached Rp498.79 trillion, surpassing the Government’s target of Rp497 trillion, according the report from Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry Rosan Roeslani to President Prabowo Subianto.

“It represents year-on-year growth of 7.22 percent. Labor absorption reached 706,569 workers nationwide, an increase of 18.93 percent compared with the same period last year,” the Minister said after reporting to the President at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Tuesday (04/21).

The realization figure, he added, reflects a healthy balance between domestic and foreign investment, with foreign direct investment reaching Rp249.94 trillion.

Investment distribution across regions is also relatively even, with 50.37 percent of investment allocated outside Java and 49.63 percent on the island of Java.

The Minister also pointed out that foreign investors’ interest in Indonesia remains strong despite ongoing geopolitical and geoeconomic uncertainty, adding that total realized investment of around Rp9,100 trillion during the 2014-2024 has become the basis for setting a Rp13,000 trillion investment target for the next decade.

“This is indeed a significant increase, but we have still managed to meet the target. We hope this performance can be sustained going forward,” the Minister said.

The report also shows that investment is dominated by the basic metals and metal goods manufacturing sector, including smelters, followed by mining, housing and industrial estates, as well as transportation, warehousing, and telecommunications.

This result underscored Indonesia’s strong performance in maintaining investment stability, while accelerating an economic transformation grounded in value-added activities.

Amid global uncertainties, Indonesia continues to position itself as a resilient, inclusive, and increasingly competitive investment destination. (BPMI of Presidential Secretariat) (RAS/EP)
