JAKARTA - Investment Minister/Head of BKPM Rosan Roeslani, the 2025 budget that his ministry obtained was much lower than 2024.

He is worried that he will not be able to achieve the 2025 investment target of IDR 1,905 trillion.

Rosan said the budget given to the Ministry of Investment of BKPM for 2025 was IDR 681.88 billion. When compared to the 2024 budget ceiling which amounted to IDR 1.23 trillion, there was a decrease of 44.53 percent.

Furthermore, Rosan said, the budget obtained by the Ministry of Investment has decreased. Meanwhile, the investment target in 2025 will increase to IDR 1,905 trillion from IDR 1,650 trillion in 2024.

"Of course this will result in the failure to achieve economic growth due to low investment realization. Because based on the initial draft of the 2025 government's work plan, the investment realization target is planned at IDR 1,905 trillion, it will be difficult to achieve," he said in a working meeting with Commission VI of the DPR held at the DPR Building, Parliament Complex, Tuesday, September 3.

In addition, said Rosan, the lack of budget in 2025 will have consequences due to limited financing for planning consolidation, downstreaming, and investment promotion activities.

"Including this, it will affect our 9 IPCs abroad because this will make it ineffective and inefficient and even happen for us to review the existence of IPCs in 9 countries," he explained.

In addition, Rosan said, the limited job creation is due to the decline in investment realization next year, thereby reducing the further impact on the decline in the national economy.

Given, investment is a component in creating economic growth.

"This will certainly have an impact on job creation to the decline in services to business actors and others," he said.
