Central Java investment reaches Rp 72.54 trillion through September 2026

Investment realization in Central Java reached Rp 72.54 trillion between January and September 2026, representing a 9.7 percent increase compared to the same period the previous year. This investment has absorbed 340,334 workers.

Of the total amount, domestic investment (PMDN) accounted for Rp 31.77 trillion, while foreign investment (PMA) reached Rp 40.77 trillion. This figure represents 73.21 percent of the Rp 99.09 trillion annual target set by the central government. Local officials expressed optimism that the total could reach Rp 110 trillion by year-end, similar to previous years when micro and small enterprise (UMK) contributions were included.

On a national level, the contribution of downstreaming (hilirisasi) to investment rose to 35 percent in the third quarter of 2026, up from 26 percent in 2024. The Indonesian government is focusing on mineral processing and the electric vehicle battery ecosystem to increase value-added products and strengthen the nation's position in global supply chains.
