Indonesia sees significant opportunities to attract new investment, particularly in renewable energy and the digital economy, according to Rosan Perkasa Roeslani. He currently serves as Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry and Chief Executive Officer of the sovereign wealth fund Danantara.
The government is preparing several measures to strengthen investment inflows. One of the initiatives includes encouraging the development of a data center in Batam, which has been identified as a priority location for digital infrastructure projects.
Roeslani stated that improving the investment climate and expanding job creation remain key government objectives. Efforts include simplifying regulations and ensuring policy certainty in order to strengthen investor confidence. He noted that some foreign investors remain cautious about the long-term stability of policy frameworks in Indonesia.
Roeslani also emphasized the role of the sovereign wealth fund Danantara in consolidating assets from state owned enterprises. The fund was launched in February 2025 and currently manages assets valued at about USD 900 billion, according to data from IDN Financials as of January 2026.
Indonesia is also seeking to expand cooperation with foreign state investment agencies, including Temasek Holdings and Khazanah Nasional. Officials believe stronger regional partnerships could support cross border investment flows across Southeast Asia and help unlock further economic potential in the region.
