August 29, 2025 | 03:10 pm

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Ministry of Investment and Industrial Estate Coordination Board reported the realization of investments in Indonesia in the first half of 2025. From January to June 2025, the investment value reached Rp942.9 trillion, which is about 49.5 percent of the annual target of Rp1,905.6 trillion. Compared to the same period the previous year, the investment value increased by 13.6 percent annually, reaching Rp829.9 trillion.

Here are five countries that have invested in Indonesia according to Investment Ministry data:

1. Singapore

Singapore emerged as the largest investing country in Indonesia in the first half of 2025. The investment value amounted to US$8.8 billion or around Rp146.6 trillion (32.4 percent of the total PMA - Foreign Direct Investment). This achievement highlights Singapore's dominant role as a strategic partner supporting Indonesia's economic growth.

2. Hong Kong

Hong Kong took second place with an investment value of $4.6 billion, or approximately 76.6 trillion Indonesian rupiah (17.0 percent of the total PMA). This figure illustrates the significant contribution that Hong Kong made to the inflow of foreign capital into Indonesia.

3. China

China ranked third with an investment realization of US$3.6 billion or around Rp59.9 trillion (13.2 percent). This investment covers various strategic sectors that promote industrialization and downstreaming in Indonesia.

4. Malaysia

Malaysia occupied the fourth position with an investment value of US$1.7 billion or around Rp28.3 trillion (6.4 percent). Although the percentage is smaller compared to the top three countries, Malaysia remains an important partner in regional investment. Malaysia's presence also strengthens the regional economic cooperation between Indonesia and other ASEAN countries.

5. Japan

Japan ranked fifth with an investment value of US$1.6 billion or around Rp26.7 trillion (6.0 percent of the total PMA). Japanese investments are generally focused on the manufacturing sector, technology, and infrastructure. Japan's role in Indonesia's economic development remains significant despite the relatively smaller amount of investment compared to Singapore or China.

The Investment Ministry also reported the five provinces that are the favorite places for investors to invest in Indonesia during the first half of 2025. West Java occupied the first position with Rp141 trillion (15 percent), followed by DKI Jakarta, Rp140.8 trillion (14.9 percent).

East Java ranked third with Rp74.7 trillion (7.9 percent), followed by Central Sulawesi Rp64.2 trillion (6.8 percent), and Banten Rp60.7 trillion (6.4 percent). This high achievement reflects the attractiveness of these regions, ranging from proximity to the economic center, industrial infrastructure, the strength of the manufacturing sector, to the development of strategic mining and industrial areas.
