Indonesia's investment realization for the January-September 2025 period reached IDR 1,434.3 trillion, growing 13.7% compared to the same period the previous year. This is equivalent to 75.3% of the annual target.

The performance achievements of President Prabowo Subianto's one-year administration include the absorption of 1,956,346 workers and are supported by downstream policies, as well as the distribution of investment outside Java. Singapore is the largest country of origin of foreign investment (FDI).

Here are some aspects of the investment achievements for almost a year.

Investment target: The government is targeting investments of IDR 13,032 trillion for the period 2025-2029.

Objective: Achieve an economic growth target of 8% by 2029.

Challenges: Requires a significant increase in investment, as investment realization in the last 10 years (2014-2024) is only around IDR 9,100 trillion.

Investment focus: The government prioritizes quality and sustainable investment, especially from the mineral downstream sector and clean energy-based industries.

Other efforts: In addition to investment, the government also encourages collaboration with international partners and ensures regulatory certainty to attract investment.

The most important achievement is not only in terms of numbers, but also in terms of quality investment. Such as:

• Investment until September 2025 was greater outside Java, which touched IDR 741.8 trillion or 51.7%. The remaining 48.3% is in Java with a realization of IDR 692.5 trillion.
• The contribution of foreign investment (PMA) reached IDR 644.6 trillion or 44.9%. This value is still inferior to domestic investment (PMDN) of IDR 789.7 trillion, aka 55.1% of the total investment achievement.
• In terms of regional distribution, there is East Java with Rp 105.1 trillion (7.3%), Central Sulawesi with Rp 97.6 trillion (6.8%), and Banten with Rp 91.6 trillion (6.4%).

In addition, the waste to energy (WtE) sector or processing waste into electrical energy (PSEL) is also starting to attract a lot of attention. For this reason, the government has issued several regulations, including a presidential regulation on the development of waste to energy.
