The Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has reported that Jakarta recorded the highest investment realization in Indonesia during the first quarter of 2025, reaching USD 4.2 billion.
Benni Aguscandra, Head of Jakarta’s Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), attributed this achievement to the city’s consistent efforts to facilitate ease of doing business for investors.
“Investment performance in Jakarta continues to show positive growth. This achievement is in line with Governor’s directives to simplify business licensing and provide adequate infrastructure for investors,” Benni stated on Thursday, as quoted by indonesiainside.id.
From January to March 2025, Jakarta’s investment realization spanned 114,451 projects, contributing approximately 15% to the national investment total. This marks a significant increase from USD 3.5 billion in the same period in 2024.
Breakdown of Domestic and Foreign Investment in Jakarta
Domestic Investment (PMDN) in Jakarta reached USD 2.5 billion, accounting for 18% of the national domestic investment, making it the highest among all provinces in Indonesia. Meanwhile, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), or Penanaman Modal Asing (PMA), totaled USD 1.7 billion, representing 11.9% of the national FDI.
“The strong investment realization in Jakarta demonstrates the success of various programs implemented by the DPMPTSP in driving investment growth,” Benni added. “This is the result of hard work and strong collaboration between the government, businesses, and the public. We will continue to ensure that Jakarta remains an attractive investment destination.”
