Jakarta (ANTARA) - Investment and Downstreaming Minister Rosan Roeslani said Indonesia needs up to Rp13,000 trillion in investment to achieve 8 percent economic growth.

“In the next five years, the investment target for us to achieve 8 percent growth is more than Rp13,000 trillion,” Roeslani said here on Wednesday.

According to him, investment realization in Indonesia has continued to increase, with investment accounting for an average of 28 to 29 percent in previous years.

“At present, investment’s contribution is approaching 38 to 39 percent. Over the last 10 years, investment has been worth roughly Rp9,100 trillion,” Roeslani added.

He explained that the National Development Planning Ministry (Bappenas) has set a target of more than Rp13,000 trillion in investment over the next five years for Indonesia to achieve 8 percent economic growth.

“That is the target given by Bappenas to us so that we can reach 8 percent growth in 2029,” he said.

Roeslani noted that investment realization was approximately Rp1,714 trillion in 2024, rising to Rp1,931 trillion in 2025.

He said investment inflows are also expected to boost and create employment opportunities for the wider public. In addition, the investment must be of high quality.

“The most important thing is how the incoming funds can create jobs. Roughly 2.4 million jobs were created last year. And if we look again, the investment we bring in is of course quality investment,” he said.

Previously, the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming said it was working to streamline the licensing process to accelerate investment realization in Indonesia.

“Up until now, businesses in our country could only start operating after waiting for all their permits to be fully issued. This is what has caused the investment cycle to take an average of around 4.5 to 5 years,” Deputy Minister of Investment and Downstreaming Todotua Pasaribu said on Wednesday (August 12).

Pasaribu said his ministry was continuing licensing reforms by implementing a deemed approval scheme under Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025.

The policy provides businesses with greater certainty regarding licensing timelines, allowing construction and development activities to proceed more quickly.
