Jakarta, March 15, 2025 – The Europe Today: The Indonesian government has set an ambitious investment target of Rp13,032 trillion over the next five years, focusing primarily on the downstreaming and renewable energy sectors. This strategy aims to achieve 8 percent economic growth during the 2025–2029 period, according to Investment Minister and Chief Executive of the Danantara Investment Management Agency, Rosan Roeslani.
Speaking at the Economic Insight 2025 event at the Indonesia Stock Exchange on Friday, Roeslani outlined the plan to enhance investment through industrial downstreaming, which is expected to contribute 23 to 24 percent of the total investment. This includes both domestic investment and foreign direct investment (FDI).
“Industrial downstreaming will not only be limited to the mineral sector but will also be expanded to agriculture, fisheries, and plantations to create greater added value for the national economy,” he said.
The government is also pushing for net zero emissions by 2060, while the current installed capacity of renewable energy in Indonesia remains at 14.43 gigawatts (GW), far below the potential of 3,700 GW.
“We continue to encourage investment in renewable energy, focusing on solar, hydro, and geothermal energy. Indonesia, particularly Java and Sumatra, has the largest geothermal reserves in the world, making it a priority for future development,” Roeslani stated.
To strengthen investment efforts, the government plans to maximize the role of Danantara, which will not only attract more private sector investment but also enhance investor confidence by providing certainty to both domestic and foreign investors.
“Danantara’s role goes beyond just facilitating investment; it actively invites both national and foreign investors to invest in Indonesia. With government involvement, investor confidence will significantly improve,” Roeslani emphasized.
