"We have achieved and even slightly exceeded the investment realization target for 2025, set at Rp1,905.6 trillion," he stated during a press conference in Jakarta on Thursday.
Roeslani noted that this achievement represents a 12.7 percent year-on-year (YoY) growth, reflecting sustained investor confidence in Indonesia's economy.

In terms of regional distribution, investment outside of Java made up 51.3 percent of the total, surpassing Java’s 48.7 percent. This is aligned with the government’s ongoing efforts to promote more equitable economic growth across the country.
The base metals, metal products, and non-machinery and equipment industries were the largest contributors to investment throughout 2025, totaling Rp262 trillion.
Meanwhile, the transportation, warehousing, and telecommunications subsector recorded an investment realization of Rp211.0 trillion, followed by mining at Rp199.6 trillion, other services at Rp170.5 trillion, and the housing, industrial estates, and office space sector at Rp140.4 trillion.
Minister Roeslani further emphasized the strategic role of downstreaming policies in driving investment value-add.
From January to December 2025, downstream investment realization stood at Rp584.1 trillion, accounting for approximately 30.2 percent of total national investment, and reflected a YoY growth of 43.3 percent.
He affirmed that the Indonesian government will continue to strengthen its downstreaming policy, push for equal distribution of investment, and support sustainable economic growth.
With the achievement, the government remains optimistic that investment will continue to be the country's primary engine of economic growth, while simultaneously enhancing Indonesia’s competitiveness in the global market.
