JAKARTA - Finance Minister Sri Mulyani ensured that Indonesia's investment was still exciting.

This is evident from the Indonesian investment which is still quite strong, both supported by Foreign Investment (PMA) and Domestic Investment (PMDN) as well as from banks.

"If you look at the growth of investment, it still needs to be encouraged but relatively constant around 4.4 but of course it can be accelerated to be able to create high growth," he said at the 2025 RAPBN Press Conference in Jakarta, Friday, August 16.

Sri Mulyani added, when compared to PMA and PMDN in the period before COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2020, it was recorded at IDR 211 trillion and in 2024 it doubled to IDR 428 in the second quarter of 2024.

"So it has been doubled in 2-3 years," he continued.

Meanwhile, bank credit for business activities has also been monitored for positive growth. Ani said that Sri Mulyani's nickname, total credit growth, recorded growth of 11.5 and investment loans grew higher at 13.9 percent and working capital loans grew by 10.9 percent.

"Double digit growth from both sector banking and PMDN. This creates capital that is embedded and gives rise to growth," concluded Sri Mulyani.
