Prabowo Receives Q1 2026 Investment Report Showing Rp 498.79 Trillion in Inflows as Foreign Interest Remains Strong Amid Global Uncertainty

President Prabowo Subianto received a report on Indonesia’s investment performance for the first quarter of 2026, which showed that total investment realization reached Rp 498.79 trillion, exceeding the target of Rp 497 trillion by 100.36 percent.

Minister of Investment and Downstreaming Rosan Roeslani presented the data at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, confirming that the figure represents a 7.22 percent year-on-year increase compared to the same period in 2025.

The investment realization was driven by strong inflows in basic metal industries, particularly smelter projects, which emerged as the top contributing sector. This was followed by services (Rp 60.2 trillion), mining (Rp 51.9 trillion), housing and industrial estates (Rp 47.9 trillion), and transportation, warehousing, and telecommunications (Rp 45.4 trillion).

Foreign investment accounted for Rp 249.94 trillion of the total, with Singapore remaining the largest source country, contributing approximately US$4.6 billion. Other major contributors included Hong Kong (US$2.7 billion), China (US$2.2 billion), the United States (US$1.7 billion), and Japan (US$1 billion). Together, these five countries accounted for around 29 percent of the national investment realization.

Domestic investment (PMDN) and foreign investment (PMA) were reported to be relatively balanced in composition. Geographically, investment outside Java slightly exceeded that in Java, with 50.37 percent directed to regions outside the island and 49.63 percent allocated to Java.

The realization also translated into significant employment generation, with the absorption of Indonesian labor reaching 706,569 people in the first quarter of 2026, marking an 18.93 percent year-on-year increase.
