In the first half of 2026, Jakarta solidified its position as Indonesia’s leading hub for investment, drawing in a substantial Rp 173.6 trillion ($9.7 billion). This impressive total comprised Rp 106.5 trillion from domestic sources and Rp 67.1 trillion in foreign direct investment (FDI), underscoring the robust confidence investors have in the nation’s capital.
During the second quarter of the year alone, Jakarta reported investments amounting to Rp 94.9 trillion ($5.3 billion), which represented 18.5% of the investment realized across the country. The city not only led the nation in attracting domestic investment, with a notable Rp 58.6 trillion, but also secured its place as the second-most favored destination for FDI in Indonesia, attracting Rp 36.3 trillion from abroad.
This strong investment performance has been attributed by officials to ongoing enhancements in the ease of doing business, improvements in public services, and an overall favorable climate for investment. These factors have collectively contributed to Jakarta’s appeal as a prime destination for both domestic and international investors.
While Jakarta stood out as the top choice for investors, West Java followed closely behind, attracting Rp 138.1 trillion in investments over the same period. This indicates a broader trend of investment growth and economic activity within Indonesia, with multiple regions benefiting from increased investor interest.
Overall, the investment landscape in Indonesia during this period reflects a positive trajectory with Jakarta leading the charge, supported by progressive policy measures and a conducive environment for business operations.
