Jakarta. Indonesia attracted Rp 1,010.6 trillion ($56.1 billion) in investment during the first half of 2026, putting the country nearly halfway toward its full-year target despite persistent global geopolitical and economic uncertainty.

"We have recorded Rp 1,010.6 trillion in investment realization in the first half of 2026, up 7.2% year-on-year. This is in line with our target, reaching 49.5% of the full-year goal of Rp 2,041.3 trillion," Investment Minister Rosan Roeslani told a press conference at the Presidential Palace on Thursday.

Domestic investment (PMDN) accounted for Rp 502.9 trillion, or 49.8% of the total, while foreign direct investment reached Rp 507.6 trillion, contributing 50.2%.

Investment was evenly split geographically, with Java attracting Rp 502.8 trillion and regions outside Java receiving Rp 507.8 trillion. Investment in Java rose 7.7% year-on-year, while investment outside the island increased 6.7%.

"The most important achievement is job creation. Investment absorbed 1,448,462 workers, up 15% from a year earlier," he said.

Jakarta remained the country's largest investment destination with Rp 173.6 trillion, followed by West Java (Rp 138.1 trillion), East Java (Rp 72.7 trillion), Central Sulawesi (Rp 68.7 trillion), and Banten (Rp 66.3 trillion).

The largest investment flowed into the basic metals and fabricated metal products industry, which attracted Rp 150.4 trillion, followed by other services (Rp 114 trillion), mining (Rp 105 trillion), transportation, warehousing, and telecommunications (Rp 102.7 trillion), and housing, industrial estates, and office developments (Rp 85.8 trillion).

Among foreign investors, Singapore remained Indonesia's biggest source of investment with $8.8 billion, followed by Hong Kong ($7.6 billion), China ($3.9 billion), Japan ($1.9 billion), and the United States ($1.7 billion).

"Singapore has remained Indonesia's largest investor over the past decade," Rosan said.
