According to reporting from Antara News, Indonesia’s Public Works Minister, Dody Hanggodo, has invited domestic and international investors to fund nine infrastructure projects across the country with a total value of IDR 90 trillion (approximately USD 5.5 billion).
At the International Conference on Infrastructure (ICI) on Wednesday (11/6/25), the minister said the projects are among 55 plans that will be developed under a public-private partnership (PPP) scheme.
The nine projects consist of five water resource projects, three road projects, and a waste infrastructure project, says Antara News.
The Public Works Ministry needs IDR 1,900 trillion in funds to achieve the 2025 to 2029 development target. The government budget can provide 60 percent of the funds, and the rest will need to be sourced through collaborative and creative funding.
“Let’s make this a call for us to build infrastructure, but with a long-lasting impact,” Hanggodo said, adding that the PPP scheme highlights the role of the private sector in infrastructure development.
Antara News reports that PPP projects and assignments contributed 21.4 percent or IDR 440.4 trillion of the total infrastructure funding needs of IDR 2,058 trillion in 2020 to 2024.
Therefore, the ministry’s Directorate General of Infrastructure Financing is continuing to develop the alternative financing scheme.
Over the past five years, the directorate general has succeeded in arranging the signing of 15 PPP agreements in various sectors.
Hanggodo urged officials at all levels of the ministry, particularly the Directorate General of Infrastructure Financing, to continue to review and develop creative financing schemes, including PPP, blended finance, and asset securitization, to support infrastructure development.
