Indonesia Seeks Stronger Investor Ties in Beijing Visit

RRI.CO.ID, Beijing - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa paid a working visit to Beijing, China, from June 16–20, 2026, to expand state financing sources and strengthen Indonesia’s global investor network. The visit is part of the government’s long-term strategy to secure development financing amid global economic uncertainty.

“Indonesia is taking proactive steps to build strong and sustainable financing foundations to ensure continued development in the face of global challenges,” Minister Purbaya said in Beijing on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, as quoted on the ministry’s official website.

He explained that the government is preparing financing options and strengthening international partnerships to respond to global dynamics and broaden Indonesia’s investor base in international markets.

“This visit is part of a long-term plan. The government is implementing a measured, disciplined, and long-term strategy,” he said.

Minister Purbaya emphasized that Indonesia is financially well-positioned, supported by stable fiscal conditions and resilient economic growth. He underscored the importance of fostering strong relations with investors and international financial institutions.

“We came to Beijing not out of urgency, but because Indonesia is in a strong position to build mutually beneficial cooperation,” he said.

Discussions with Chinese counterparts also focused on strengthening economic relations. Minister Purbaya hopes that collaboration between the two countries would deepen through direct cooperation and international forums.

As part of the visit, the government prepared to issue Panda Bonds to diversify financing sources and reinforce economic ties with China. The bonds are also expected to support local currency transactions.

During his stay, Purbaya will meet with the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Development Bank, and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to explore new financing opportunities and expand Indonesia’s partnerships.

He noted that investor confidence in Indonesia remains strong, as reflected in high demand for government financial instruments and the stability of the national economy despite global uncertainty.

“Market confidence isn’t built overnight. It is the result of fiscal discipline, consistent reforms, and policy credibility that the government continues to maintain. Therefore, Indonesia remains an attractive investment destination in the region,” he said.

Through the Beijing visit, the government aims to strengthen long-term development financing and enhance national economic resilience in the face of global challenges.

“While some choose to wait for certainty, Indonesia chooses to prepare for the future. That’s why we continue to move forward, build trust, and strengthen the nation’s economic foundations,” Minister Purbaya concluded. ***
