Indonesia's Investment Growth Has Increased 16.8% in January - September 2014


The Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) announced in October a US$ 35.6 billion (B) investment realization for period in January-September 2014 or 16.8% increase from comparable period in 2013. Meanwhile, a record high value of Rp. 119.9 trillion or equal to US$ 11.4 billion investment was reported for Q3 2014. The data indicates continuing high investors' confidence post peaceful presidential election and new government transition in the world's fourth most populous nation of 240 million people.

January - September 2014 STATISTICS:

  • Investment Realization in Indonesia - $35.6 billion (B).
  • Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) - $23.7B, up 14.6% from comparable period in 2013.
  • Domestic Direct Investment (DDI) - $11.9, up 21.6% from comparable period in 2013.
  • Singapore remains top FDI contribution with 1,063 projects valued at US$ 4.9 B while the U.S. is in the fifth with 131 projects valued at US$ 965.9B.
  • Labor absorption gained 960,336 people (725,836 FDI; 234,497 DDI).



The President Jokowi-led administration is committed to push structural reforms and to prioritize sustainable infrastructure development by expanding inter-island connectivity. The good performance during the first nine months of 2014 indicates that the investment growth of 16.8% provides optimism that this year's target of 15% growth will not only be achieved, but also reach the 2015 target of 15-18%.

To ensure increased outputs, the newly appointed Chairman of BKPM, Franky Sibarani, focuses on a more efficient and transparent One Stop Investment Service through streamlining permits and license procedures across government levels as mandated by Presidential Regulation No.97/2014.
