Investment growth in Jakarta continues to accelerate as the capital positions itself as a global, investor-friendly city. The Jakarta Provincial Government showcased this momentum during the Jakarta Investment Award 2025, an event that celebrated businesses contributing to regional economic expansion.
Governor Pramono Anung highlighted Jakarta’s commitment to credibility and investment readiness while acknowledging the collaborative efforts between the private sector, APINDO, and the central government. He stressed that “Jakarta Investment Award is not just an award but also a moment to reaffirm that Jakarta is a credible, pro-investment city. Public trust is the main foundation for sustainable investment.” This foundation supports Jakarta’s rising status as a center of national economic growth.
Jakarta Investment Growth Highlights Strong Momentum
Jakarta recorded a year-on-year investment increase of around 45 percent, placing the city among Indonesia’s top-performing regions. This growth reflects strong coordination between the central government and Jakarta’s investment office.
Deputy Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM Todotua Pasaribu highlighted the importance of this approach, stating, “Synergy between the central and regional governments, including with Jakarta’s DPMPTSP, is key to creating a conducive, competitive, and sustainable investment climate.” He added that continued licensing reforms and easier access to services will help Jakarta maintain its position as a national role model for future investment management.
Public Trust and Governance Reforms Boost Investor Confidence
Governor Pramono underscored that trust shapes long-term economic progress. Therefore, his administration continues to strengthen key areas such as licensing, governance, and public service quality.
He emphasized the need for a responsive and transparent government, noting, “The government must be trusted. Issues must be resolved quickly and transparently. This is what we are doing through better governance and accelerated services.” These reforms ensure that businesses face fewer obstacles and that processes remain predictable. As a result, investors see Jakarta as a more reliable destination for expansion.
Improved Mobility and Infrastructure Accelerate Economic Activity
Jakarta also prioritizes mobility to support daily economic activity. The city continues to upgrade public transportation systems, including Transjakarta and other integrated modes that improve accessibility for workers and businesses. Smooth, reliable mobility reduces operational burdens and enhances the city’s economic efficiency.
Governor Pramono explained that effective transport networks support broader development goals, adding that well-functioning public transportation strengthens Jakarta’s competitiveness. These improvements help the capital sustain economic momentum and accommodate future growth.
Business Community Welcomes Positive Regulatory Changes
The business community has responded positively to recent policy improvements. APINDO Chairperson Shinta Kamdani acknowledged the city’s progress and highlighted the benefits of structural reforms. She noted, “We are seeing substantial progress under Mr. Pramono’s leadership.
The structural reforms taking place are strongly felt by the business community and have restored investor confidence in Jakarta.” She also pointed to the improved Online Single Submission (OSS) system, which speeds up approvals and simplifies compliance. These developments help businesses operate more efficiently and reduce uncertainties that previously slowed investment decisions.
Strengthening Global Competitiveness Through Collaboration
Jakarta continues to improve its global competitiveness through closer collaboration between government agencies and the business sector. Strong partnerships ensure that reforms stay aligned with long-term development goals.
The combination of efficient services, better infrastructure, and consistent policy direction encourages greater private sector participation. This synergy supports Jakarta’s ambition to serve as a national model for modern investment governance and strengthens the city’s reputation across international markets.
Jakarta’s Path Toward a Top Global Investment Hub
Jakarta’s reform-driven progress, expanding mobility networks, and strong public–private collaboration reinforce its ambitions as a global investment hub. The city continues to build investor trust through transparent governance and a clear strategy for long-term economic growth. As these initiatives advance, Jakarta strengthens its global standing and moves closer to becoming a top destination for sustainable investment.
