Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — West Java recorded the highest investment realization nationwide in the third quarter of 2025, reaffirming its position as Indonesia’s leading investment destination.
According to data from the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming, also known as the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), total national investment in Q3 reached 491.4 trillion rupiah ($30.3 billion), marking a 13.9% year-on-year increase compared to the same period in 2024.
Investment outside Java continued to dominate, accounting for 265.8 trillion rupiah, or 54.1% of the total, while Java contributed 225.6 trillion rupiah, or 45.9%.
Although investment was largely concentrated outside Java, Minister of Investment and Downstreaming Rosan Roeslani said that, regionally, the largest contributors were still located on the island of Java.
“We hope investment will continue to spread across Indonesia and not be centered only in Java, even though the top one and two contributors are still located here,” Rosan said during a press conference on Q3 2025 Investment Realization on Friday, October 17.
West Java contributed 77.1 trillion rupiah, or 15.7% of total investment in Q3, combining both foreign and domestic investment. The province’s investment realization was dominated by Domestic Investment (PMDN), totaling 41.8 trillion rupiah, or around 15% of the national PMDN figure.
In terms of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), West Java remained a prime destination for international investors, recording $2.2 billion in FDI, equivalent to 16.7% of the national total.

Outside Java, Central Sulawesi saw the largest investment inflows, driven primarily by the province’s mineral downstreaming industry.
