JAKARTA - Bahlil Lahadalia reminded Rosan Roeslani, who had just been inaugurated as Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment and Investment Agency (BKPM) about the challenges faced by his agency in the future, would be even more complex.

"I also conveyed to Mr. Rosan that the challenges of this office in the future are increasingly complex," he said in his remarks during the handover of the position or certificate of the Minister of Investment/Head of BKPM at the BKPM Ministry Office, Jakarta, Monday, August 19.

Bahlil said investment investment has an important role in economic growth. Given, in 2025 the target for economic growth is set at 5.2 percent and the investment target is set at IDR 1,900 trillion.

The 2025 investment target increased 15.15 percent from the 2024 target of IDR 1,650 trillion.

Di saat target pertumbuhan ekonomi kita harus di atas 5 persen. Kita baru selesai pandemi COVID-19 defist keuangan kita di bawah 3 persen. Maka bagaimana mengisi kekosongan dari defisit tersebut, maka pertumbuhan investasi ke depan di 2025 itu mencapai Rp1.900 triliun, kataya.

"So the challenges are getting bigger and bigger," he continued.

Previously, Deputy Investment Minister Yuliot Tanjung said the investment target for 2025 was set at IDR 1,900 trillion. He said the government would optimize downstream policies to achieve the investment target.

He also said that this downstream policy would be carried out by deepening the industrial structure so that it could produce products with higher added value.

"For example, the semiconductor chip will move the main industry more. That's what we will develop. We will see in more detail. Then energy security and food security will also focus on the future," said Yuliot at the DPR Building, Jakarta, Friday, August 16.
