"This is beyond numbers; it is about a new direction of development that is greener, more inclusive, and resilient," said Nurul Ichwan, Deputy for Investment Promotion at the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming, in a statement on Monday.
He said the commitments marked the successful implementation of ISF 2025, held in Jakarta on October 10–11, which aimed to promote ideas and drive concrete collaboration for Indonesia's green transition.
Ichwan added that most investments will be realized in stages through green energy projects, sustainable supply chain development, and industrial decarbonization initiatives.
Rachmat Kaimuddin, Deputy for Basic Infrastructure Coordination at the Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development, said the forum reaffirmed Indonesia’s role in advancing global sustainable development.
He emphasized that ISF 2025 not only facilitated discussions but also ensured that stakeholder collaboration resulted in measurable action.
Kaimuddin noted that more than 12,500 participants from 61 countries joined the event, fostering cooperation between government agencies, business actors, and academic institutions.
"The achievements demonstrated international trust in Indonesia's sustainability policies and helped build a resilient and inclusive green economy foundation," he said.
The Ministry of Investment said green investment commitments worth US$17.4 billion were formalized through 13 memorandums of understanding (MoUs) and three declarations covering clean energy, marine, carbon, forestry, and green infrastructure sectors.
One MoU involves transforming fertilizer industry assets toward low-carbon operations using clean energy technology, with an investment value of US$250 million.
