Jakarta. Jordan’s King Abdullah II has offered Indonesia a $1.3 billion investment package covering gas pipelines, toll road development, and logistics facilities, Investment and Downstream Industry Minister Rosan Roeslani said on Saturday.

The proposal was delivered directly to President Prabowo Subianto during a bilateral meeting at The St. Regis Jakarta. The investments would be channeled into three strategic projects managed by Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund Danantara.

Rosan, who also serves as Danantara’s CEO, said the proposed gas pipeline project carries an estimated value of around $1 billion, while the toll road project is expected to cost about US$300 million. He did not disclose the value of the logistics project but said it remains a priority area.

“We will evaluate and follow up on these offers,” Rosan told reporters after accompanying the Jordanian monarch to Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base in Jakarta.

As part of the follow-up, King Abdullah II invited Danantara executives to visit Jordan in December 2025 to advance discussions.

Rosan said any potential deal would follow a business-to-business (B2B) model and meet Danantara’s investment return standards. “We already have a target rate of return, and from what we’ve seen, these projects fit the expected investment criteria,” he said.

Beyond the new proposals, Rosan added that Indonesia and Jordan are already cooperating in phosphate-based fertilizer production. Jordan currently holds a 50-percent stake in the existing joint venture, located in Gresik and partnered with Petrokimia Gresik.

The phosphate collaboration is valued at $250 million and generates around $20 million in annual returns for Indonesia. Rosan said both sides intend to expand the venture to strengthen the country’s fertilizer supply chain. “We will scale it up further because fertilizer is extremely important for us,” he said.

Rosan also highlighted Jordan’s strategic role as a gateway to Middle Eastern markets, while Indonesia positions itself as a potential hub for Jordanian trade and investment into Southeast Asia.
