JAKARTA - The Minister of Finance, Sri Mulyani, said that the government will continue to make several strategic efforts to spur investment uptake to remain strong throughout 2023. The commitment was conveyed by the Minister of Finance when speaking at the 100 CEO Forum at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta today.

According to the state treasurer, the government can't achieve the investment target on its own, so it requires assistance from various parties, especially from the business sector. Meanwhile, the investment growth rate targeted by the government for next year is 5 percent year on year (YoY).

"Investment must be able to continue to grow and be maintained above 5 percent", she said as broadcast via online channels on Friday, December 2.

The Minister of Finance explained investment is a very crucial sector in supporting the national economy. This is because investment activities can be a driving force for productive activities in the country.

"Yesterday, during the third quarter of 2022, when our economic growth was 5.7 percent, investment increased to 4.9 percent and is very close to 5 percent. This is a good achievement", she said.

The state treasurer also explained that high investment growth could become a stronghold for Indonesia in facing next year's turmoil which is expected to be stronger than this year.

"If an investment can grow above 5 percent, then we have hope that the resilience of the Indonesian economy can really be maintained to withstand rising global interest rates due to high inflation in many countries", she said.

Quoting data released by the Investment Coordinating Board, it is known that investment realization during January-September 2022 was recorded at IDR 892.4 trillion or 74.4 percent of the target set, which was IDR 1,200 trillion. It was stated that the investment value had succeeded in absorbing 965,122 workers.

In detail, investment realization up to the end of the third quarter consisting of foreign direct investment (PMA) reached IDR 479.3 trillion or 53.7 percent. Meanwhile, domestic investment (PMDN) was IDR 413.1 trillion or 46.3 percent of the total.

As for the distribution, investment outside Java recorded a value of IDR 472.1 trillion or 52.9 percent and on the island of Java amounted to IDR 420.3 trillion or 47.1 percent.
