Jakarta Secures Investor Trust as Investment Realization Steadily Grows in Q2 and the First Semester of 2025

The report on Indonesia’s investment realization for April to June 2025 (Q2), released by the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM, reaffirms Jakarta’s position as one of the country’s most attractive investment destinations. During this period, investment realization in Jakarta reached IDR 71.1 trillion, representing 14.9% of the national total and securing Jakarta the second-highest position nationwide. This performance was driven primarily by Domestic Direct Investment (DDI), which rose significantly to IDR 48.2 trillion, up 41.4% year-on-year (YoY) from IDR 34.1 trillion in 2024, while Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) contributed USD 1.4 billion or IDR 22.9 trillion, placing Jakarta among the top three destinations for FDI nationally. Overall, total realization in Q2 2025 increased by 14.5% compared to the same period last year, reflecting Jakarta’s ability to maintain investor trust through strong domestic participation while continuing to attract interest from international investors.

Furthermore, the report highlights Jakarta’s investment realization during the first semester of 2025 (January–June), which reached IDR 140.8 trillion and contributed 14.9% to the national total, positioning the city as the second-largest contributor at the national level. In detail, DDI reached IDR 90.4 trillion, securing the first position nationally, while FDI recorded USD 3.2 billion representing  11.7% of the national total and placing Jakarta among the top three regions at the national level.

In terms of sectoral distribution, investment realization in the first semester of 2025 with the DDI and FDI combined was led by transportation, warehousing, and telecommunications at IDR 45.7 trillion or 32%. This was followed by other services at IDR 34.1 trillion or 24%, and trade and reparation at IDR 20.4 trillion or 15%. Taken together, these top three sectors contributed 71% of total realization in the first semester of 2025. This distribution provides a clear overview of the main sectors contributing to Jakarta’s investment realization during this period.

Based on regional performance, total investment realization in Jakarta during the first semester of 2025 was led by South Jakarta, which recorded IDR 56.4 trillion or 40% of the total, followed by Central Jakarta with IDR 30 trillion or 21% and East Jakarta with IDR 15.1 trillion or 11%, while North Jakarta and West Jakarta contributed IDR 22.3 trillion (16%) and IDR 17 trillion (12%) respectively, and the Thousand Islands recorded IDR 76 billion. Overall, the figures provide a clear overview of how investment activities were distributed across Jakarta’s regions during this period.

Jakarta’s positive momentum during this period is supported by multiple factors including stronger investor confidence from both foreign and domestic investors in sectors such as transportation and telecommunications, the acceleration of licensing services through DPMPTSP, the development of strategic infrastructure such as MRT, and regulatory stability that provides long-term assurance to businesses. To sustain this momentum, the Jakarta Provincial Government advanced key initiatives such as the optimization of investment implementation oversight through OSS-RBA and LKPM reporting, investment promotion activities led by the Jakarta Investment Centre (JIC) including the Jakarta Investment Festival (JIF) 2025, along with the facilitation of cooperation with potential investors.

The investment realization figures for Q2 and the first semester of 2025 present a clear picture of Jakarta’s performance, marked by steady growth, strong domestic participation, and contributions across key sectors and regions. Together with ongoing government initiatives, these developments outline the foundations that will shape the city’s investment landscape in the coming period, while also aligning with Jakarta’s broader vision of positioning itself as a competitive and sustainable global city.
