TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry records growing investment realization outside of Java island during the first semester of 2025, with the mining sector contributing the most.
Deputy of Investment Planning at the ministry said the trend signals a shifting interest from investors. "One of which is the mining sector, which shows a significant contribution to the growth," said Dedi at an Indonesia Business Forum event in South Jakarta on Tuesday, August 26, 2025.
Outside Java island, Dedi mentioned, the government recorded investment realization of Rp476 trillion, or 50.5 percent of the total investment, during the first half of 2025. This figure is higher than investments in Java, with Rp466.9 trillion, or 49.5 percent.
The overall investment realization in Indonesia during the same period is Rp942.9 trillion, equal to 49.5 percent of the 2025 target set at Rp1,905.6 trillion.
Investment realization has also seen 13.6 percent growth compared to the same period last year, with 1.25 million people employed in the country. The top five investment destinations are West Java at Rp141 trillion, Jakarta at Rp140.8 trillion, East Java at Rp74.7 trillion, Central Sulawesi at Rp64.2 trillion, and Banten at Rp60.7 trillion.
Meanwhile, domestic investments took up Rp510.3 trillion, while foreign direct investment (FDI) reached Rp432.6 trillion. "The largest foreign investors remain from Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, and Japan," he said.
Dedi mentioned that the government's focus on industrial development remains directed towards four main sectors: minerals, oil and natural gas, forestry, and fisheries. In addition to the mining sector, the government also encourages growth in the agricultural sector. At least, there has been investment realization in 14 potential agricultural subsectors.
He added that the Ministry of Investment has developed an investment roadmap until 2040, covering 28 strategic sectors with priority for seven. "The investment potential is estimated to reach US$680 billion, with jobs potentially created for up to 3.8 million people," said Dedi.
