Indonesia Targets 7% Investment Growth to Achieve Economic Objective in 2027

Jakarta: Indonesia Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa is targeting investment growth of up to 7% in 2027 to drive economic growth to 6%. 

“To drive higher economic growth of 6% in 2027, investment growth needs to be accelerated to 7%,” Purbaya said during a working meeting with Commission XI of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) in Jakarta, as reported by Antara on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. 

According to Purbaya, achieving the target will require collaboration between the government, the private sector, and Danantara. 

The government will act as an investment catalyst, while the private sector is expected to become the main driver of investment. Meanwhile, Danantara is tasked with accelerating productive investment, particularly in strategic sectors and downstream industries with high added value. 

“To ensure that each instrument can work optimally and reinforce one another, the government will strengthen policy synergy among fiscal policy, monetary policy, the financial sector, and Danantara,” said Purbaya.

He reiterated that accelerating investment needs to be accompanied by macroeconomic stability to create certainty, increase confidence among economic actors, and encourage sustainable investment. 

Government Ensures Stability Through Various Policies 

The government plans to maintain stability through multiple policies, including controlling inflation to maintain people’s purchasing power, consumption, and investment. 

In addition, the government will ensure that interest rates remain competitive to support access to financing, strengthen business confidence, and encourage investment activity. The government, together with Bank Indonesia (BI), will also continue to maintain the stability of the rupiah exchange rate. 

“The policy is aimed at strengthening economic resilience, mitigating global impacts, and providing certainty for businesses when making investment and expansion decisions,” said Purbaya.

The Finance Minister further explained that the investment growth target is supported by the national economy’s fundamentals, which remain stable amid global uncertainty. 

In the first half of 2026, Indonesia’s economy grew by 5.45% cumulatively, or on a cumulative-to-cumulative (ctc) basis, while inflation remained under control. Banking liquidity was also considered adequate to support credit distribution. 

Indonesia’s trade balance remained in surplus from January to June 2026. Meanwhile, foreign exchange reserves reached USD145.3 billion as of July 2026. 

Positive sentiment in the domestic financial market also continued, reflected in the appreciation of the rupiah, gains in the Indonesia Stock Exchange Composite Index (IHSG), and favorable developments in government bond (SBN) yields. Capital inflows reached Rp140.6 trillion as of August 28, 2026.
