He said investment growth had averaged around 15 percent a year between 2020 and 2025, with a total value of about US$14.5 billion.
“Because the figure is still relatively small, we hope growth can rise to 18–20 percent per year,” Rosan told a press conference at the launch of the EU Investment Desk here on Tuesday.
The ministry is now awaiting the agreement’s ratification so that it can take effect. “We continue to push for ratification so the IEU-CEPA can be implemented soon,” he said.
Indonesia and the EU signed the substantive conclusion of the trade pact on September 23, 2025.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said the agreement could potentially increase Indonesia’s exports to the EU by 2.5 times.
The agreement is expected to have a significant impact, with bilateral trade targeted to increase to US$60 billion, while Indonesia's export value is expected to increase by more than 50 percent in 3-4 years.
A number of Indonesia's leading sectors, such as palm oil, textiles, footwear, and fisheries, will gain wider access to the EU market.
In addition, Indonesia's professional services sectors, like architecture, legal consulting, and the creative industry, are expected to be able to compete in terms of price, quality, and innovation.
Meanwhile, the EU will gain greater opportunities in the Indonesian market, especially in agriculture, manufacturing, and professional service sectors.
