RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry, has officially announced Indonesia's success in surpassing its investment realization target for 2025. Beyond the numbers, this achievement also contributes significantly to job creation amid dynamic global economic challenges.

At a press conference on the 2025 Investment Realization Achievements held in Jakarta on Thursday, 15 January 2026, the Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry, Rosan Roeslani, delivered positive news. He confirmed that the investment realization target of 1,905.6 trillion rupiah had been exceeded. Based on official data, total investment inflows into the country from January to December 2025 grew by 12.7 percent year-on-year.

He stated, “Throughout 2025, from January to December, total investment realization reached 1,931.2 trillion rupiah, equivalent to 101.3% of the government's target and a growth of 12.7% year on year.”

In addition to capital growth, Minister Rosan emphasized that the government's main focus is to ensure that these investments have a direct impact on the welfare of the people. It was recorded that throughout 2025, the inflow of investment succeeded in absorbing around 2.7 million new workers.

“Most importantly, of course, the 2025 investment will have a real impact on society by creating approximately 2.7 million new jobs, an increase of 10.4% compared to the previous year,” Rosan explained.

Despite achieving positive results, Minister Rosan acknowledged that the journey in 2025 was challenging. Indonesia had to face various challenges, ranging from global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions to natural disasters that hit several regions such as Aceh and Sumatra. However, exceeding the target proves that Indonesia is still able to maintain investor confidence while sustaining economic growth momentum amid difficult circumstances.
