8% Economic Growth Requires Rp 13 Trillion Investment

Indonesia is setting an ambitious target of 8% economic growth by 2029, a goal that hinges on securing substantial investment. Minister of Investment and Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Roeslani, stated that achieving this target, outlined in the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025–2029, requires an estimated Rp 13,032.8 trillion in both foreign and domestic investment.

This investment figure represents a significant 43% increase compared to the Rp 9,117.4 trillion realized between 2014 and 2024. Roeslani emphasized that investment is the primary driver for economic expansion, as highlighted during a working meeting on the ministry's budget accountability for the 2025 fiscal year.

“

Year 2025 is the first year of implementing the RPJMN 2025–2029, and investment has always been the main driver in order to achieve 8 percent growth.

The government plans a phased approach to economic growth, with targets increasing incrementally throughout the RPJMN period. For 2025, economic growth is projected at 5.11%, supported by Rp 1,931.2 trillion in investments, exceeding the target. Projections for 2026 anticipate 5.4–5.6% growth with Rp 2,041.3 trillion in investment, rising further to 5.8–6.5% in 2027 with Rp 2,322 trillion.

To support this target, foreign investment and domestic investment are needed, reaching Rp 13,032.8 trillion for the period 2025–2029.
