RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Minister of Investment and Downstreaming, Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, reported that Indonesia's investment realization in the first semester of 2026 reached IDR 1,010.6 trillion or equivalent to USD 6.12 billion. The investment value grew by 7.2 percent compared to the same period the previous year.

He said that the growth indicates the long-term commitment of investors to Indonesia remains strong, especially from several key partner countries such as China, Japan, and Korea.

According to him, the government continues to maintain and improve the investment climate thru various policies that provide certainty for the business world. These efforts are carried out, particularly thru the refinement of regulations in the licensing sector to make investors more confident in investing in Indonesia.

"Because at the same time we also always maintain and improve the climate, especially the investment climate. With increasingly better policies, this has also been positively responded to by investors, especially with government regulations that provide more certainty, particularly in terms of licensing and permits," Rosan said in a press statement in Jakarta, Thursday, July 16, 2026.

In the second quarter of 2026, investment realization was able to absorb 742,293 workers, an increase of 5.1 percent compared to the previous period. Based on the source of investment, the composition of Domestic Investment (PMDN) and Foreign Investment (PMA) was relatively balanced, with PMDN at 49.6 percent and PMA at 50.4 percent.

From the perspective of regional distribution, Rosan mentioned that the contribution of investments in Java Island and outside Java also shows a relatively balanced composition. The government hopes that the equitable distribution of investment continues to develop so that the economic potential in various regions can be increasingly utilized.

"The contribution from Java and outside Java seems almost the same." If we look at the second quarter, although outside Java has still increased slightly more. And we hope this equitable distribution continues to develop further to see other potentials," he explained.

Rosan explained that from the perspective of PMA, North Maluku recorded significant growth and became the region with the highest realization of foreign investment in the second quarter of 2026, amounting to IDR 39.5 trillion. This position was followed by DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Sulawesi, and East Java.
