Sulawesi regional economic and infrastructure development

The Sulawesi region is experiencing growth in financial services and infrastructure development. In South Sulawesi and West Sulawesi, bank assets, deposits, and credit disbursements showed year-on-year growth through mid-2026, with significant credit expansion in the agriculture and fisheries sectors. There was also a substantial increase in the number of Single Investor Identification (SID) holders, driven largely by mutual fund investments.

Broader regional efforts are focusing on long-term economic stability. The South Sulawesi Regional House of Representatives approved a multi-year project valued at approximately Rp5 trillion to fund priority sectors such as roads, irrigation, and MSME development. Meanwhile, North Sulawesi has established a target to reach a 95.11 percent financial inclusion rate by 2030 through digital ecosystems and educational programs. Additionally, energy infrastructure development has progressed, with PLN UIP Sulawesi exceeding land acquisition targets for electricity projects.
