Indonesia’s investment realization for the first quarter of 2026 reached Rp498.79 trillion, surpassing the government’s target of Rp497 trillion by 0.36 percent, according to Investment Minister Rosan Roeslani’s report to President Prabowo Subianto.
The figure represents a 7.22 percent year-on-year increase and contributed to the absorption of 706,569 new workers across the economy, reflecting a 18.93 percent annual growth in employment linked to investment activities.
Investment Composition and Sectoral Drivers
Domestic investment (PMDN) accounted for 49.89 percent of the total, while foreign direct investment (PMA) made up the remaining 50.11 percent. Among foreign contributors, Singapore led with approximately $4.6 billion, followed by Hong Kong ($2.7 billion), China ($2.2 billion), the United States ($1.7 billion) and Japan ($1 billion).
Key sectors driving the investment inflow included basic metal industries such as smelters, other manufacturing services, mining, housing, industrial estates, transportation, warehousing, and telecommunications.
Regional Distribution and Policy Direction
Within Indonesia, the provinces of Jakarta, West Java, Banten, East Java, and Central Java emerged as the top five contributors to domestic investment realization. President Prabowo emphasized the importance of job creation impact during the meeting, directing attention to how investment translates into employment opportunities for Indonesians.
The realization keeps Indonesia on track toward its broader investment target of Rp13.032 trillion for the full year, a goal supported by ongoing efforts in downstream processing and fictitious positive financing mechanisms to expand value chains in key industries.
