RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta – Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry, Rosan Roeslani, stated that the downstreaming trend continues to strengthen as a primary driver of the Indonesian economy. Meanwhile, Domestic Direct Investment (DDI/PMDN) contributed 26.5 percent of the total downstreaming realizationched IDR 584.1 trillion throughout 2025, contributing 30.2 percent to the total national investment realization.

“I remember that in the past, investment realization from downstreaming was at 25 percent. It then reached 28 percent, and now it is at 30 percent, just over than 30 percent,” Rosan said during the 2025 Investment Realization Achievement Press Conference in Jakarta, Thursday, 15 January 2026.

He noted that the government is expanding its downstreaming focus toward non-mineral sectors, particularly plantations and fisheries. This strategy is projected to be a "game changer" for the Indonesian economy in 2026.

Minister Rosan further explained, “Previously, it was concentrated in the mineral sector, but we now see progress in the plantation and marine sectors. In the past, perhaps the marine and fisheries sectors were almost non-existent. Now, tuna, skipjack, and mackerel are included, so this has also started to take off.”

According to Rosan, in addition to increasing the added value of commodities, diversification into the plantation sector is expected to expand national employment opportunities.

Regarding capital composition, Rosan explained that downstream investment throughout 2025 was dominated by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI/PMA) at 73.5 percent, totaling IDR 429.6 trillion. Meanwhile, Domestic Direct Investment (DDI/PMDN) contributed 26.5 percent of the total downstreaming realization.
