Jakarta’s Investment Performance in the Third Quarter and Cumulative January-September 2025

Jakarta’s investment performance in the third quarter of 2025 continued to show resilience and positive momentum, supported by strong domestic investment growth amid global economic uncertainty. As the nation’s financial and business centre, Jakarta remained a strategic destination for investors, driven by steady economic activity and the Provincial Government’s commitment to improving transparency and efficiency in the investment process. According to data from the Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), total investment realization in Jakarta within the third quarter (Q3) 2025 reached IDR 63.3 trillion, contributing 12.9% to the national total and ranking second among all provinces.

Furthermore, throughout 2025 up to the third quarter (Q3), Jakarta consistently led national investment realization for Domestic Direct Investment (DDI), maintaining its position as the top contributor nationally. The investment value in this quarter reached IDR 40.8 trillion, or 14.6% of total national DDI, marking a 33.4% year-on-year increase. A total of 15,179 companies contributed to this performance through 100,639 projects realized in the third quarter alone. The steady growth of domestic investment reflects the continued confidence of local businesses in Jakarta’s stable economy and the Provincial Government’s sustained efforts to strengthen the investment climate.

Meanwhile, FDI in Jakarta experienced a slowdown during this period, with realization reaching IDR 22.5 trillion, a 44.8% decrease compared to IDR 40.8 trillion in the same period of 2024. This moderation reflects the impact of global economic uncertainty and intensifying competition among ASEAN countries, along with higher operational costs and limited land availability in Jakarta. Despite these challenges, the city continues to implement measures aimed at improving business efficiency, enhancing infrastructure capacity, and expanding opportunities for collaboration across sectors. These strategies are expected to help restore foreign investor confidence and sustain Jakarta’s position as one of Indonesia’s investment destinations.

Extending from the quarterly results, Jakarta’s investment performance continued to strengthen during the first nine months (January–September) of 2025. The city’s total investment realization reached IDR 204.2 trillion, reflecting a 6.5% increase compared to IDR 191.8 trillion in the same period of 2024. Domestic investment contributed IDR 131.2 trillion, representing 16.6% of the national total, while foreign investment reached IDR 72.9 trillion, equivalent to 11.3% of the national share. This cumulative realization also supported the absorption of 338,310 workers, emphasizing Jakarta’s role as one of the contributors to national employment.

Jakarta’s investment growth during January–September 2025 was supported by strong performance across several key sectors. The transportation, warehouse, and telecommunications sector recorded the highest realization at IDR 70.3 trillion, representing 35% of the total, followed by other services at IDR 49.6 trillion (24%), and trade and reparation at IDR 28.6 trillion (14%). The housing, industrial estate and office building reached IDR 16.3 trillion (8%), while construction contributed IDR 14.9 trillion (7%).

Regionally, South Jakarta remained the most attractive area for investors, with combined FDI and DDI realization reaching IDR 80.0 trillion or 39% of the city’s total investment. This was followed by Central Jakarta with IDR 53 trillion (26%), North Jakarta with IDR 29.3 trillion (14%), West Jakarta with IDR 22 trillion (11%), East Jakarta with IDR 19.7 trillion (10%), and Kepulauan Seribu (Thousand Islands) with IDR 0.1 trillion. The distribution reflects balanced investment activity across Jakarta’s regions.

Overall, Jakarta’s investment performance in the third quarter of 2025 shows the city’s resilience and steady progress in maintaining investor confidence amid global challenges. The growth in domestic investment demonstrates the effectiveness of ongoing efforts to strengthen the investment climate and improve business facilitation. The Jakarta Investment Centre (JIC), as the investment promotion agency of Jakarta, also actively supports these efforts by facilitating collaboration, promoting potential projects, and providing updated investment information to both domestic and international stakeholders, ensuring that Jakarta remains a reliable and attractive destination for sustainable investment.
