"The Ministry of Investment is quite optimistic for the next three quarters. Although we must admit that it is not easy," he said here on Tuesday.
This optimism stems from the investment commitments that are currently underway, he added.
"The most important thing for us is how the commitment can become an implementation," he said.
Of the total investment achievement in 2025, he informed, the contribution of the downstream sector to investment is predicted to reach 30 percent.
Investment realization in the first quarter of 2025 was recorded at Rp465.2 trillion, or 24.4 percent of the total investment target for this year.
