"In addition to inviting foreign investors, we at BKPM are now also analyzing the strength of investors entering Indonesia," Roeslani noted in a statement in Jakarta on Thursday.
The minister remarked that earlier, such analysis was not conducted on potential investors, especially regarding their financial capacity, technological capabilities, and other relevant factors.
"We have started implementing this approach, so we analyze and identify incoming investors. Many investors are interested in entering Indonesia, and we need to understand our future partners. After all, investment is a long-term commitment. We do not want to face issues midway, especially if the problem originates from the investor’s home country. That is the kind of evaluation we are doing now," the BKPM head explained.
According to Roeslani, a dedicated team has been formed to assess incoming investors in terms of financial strength and technological capacity, and this measure has been in place for the past several months.
For context, Rosan revealed that the realized investment in the second quarter of this year reached Rp477.7 trillion.
The investment contributed to the creation of 665,764 jobs during the same period.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the second quarter of 2025 amounted to Rp202.2 trillion, while domestic direct investment (DDI) contributed Rp275.5 trillion.
In terms of regional distribution, investment in Java reached Rp237.5 trillion, while areas outside Java received Rp240.2 trillion.
The top five countries in terms of FDI realization in the second quarter of 2025 were Singapore, with US$4.2 billion; Hong Kong, US$2.3 billion; the People's Republic of China, US$1.8 billion; the United States, US$0.8 billion; and Malaysia, US$0.7 billion.
