London, November 21, 2024 – Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry/Head of the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, announced plans to promptly follow up on investment commitments worth USD 8.5 billion from 10 UK companies. These commitments are among the key outcomes of President Prabowo Subianto’s state visit to the United Kingdom on November 21–22, 2024.

During a press conference held after the CEO Roundtable Forum 2024, Rosan stated that the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM would facilitate the expressed interests and address any challenges encountered during implementation.


“These commitments will be implemented swiftly. Any obstacles that arise will be openly addressed. At the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, as the President mentioned, we are the spearhead of Indonesia’s journey toward achieving 8% growth,” Rosan said.


As part of efforts to realize these commitments quickly, Rosan noted plans to meet with several companies that had expressed their investment interests in Indonesia. “Tomorrow, I will continue discussions with eight of the companies that attended today’s forum, including BP and Swire,” he stated.


Rosan also highlighted the factors driving investors’ enthusiasm for investing in Indonesia, attributing it to the country’s stable political environment. “They appreciate the peaceful transition of government, which boosts investor confidence,” Rosan added.


During the forum, President Prabowo emphasized the government’s focus on providing affordable housing with efficient costs, supported by transparent and conflict-free governance. “The plan is to build 3 million homes annually over the next 10 years. This presents a significant opportunity for investors,” Rosan remarked.

He also noted that the government’s commitment to clean and efficient governance is a key attraction for investors. “This demonstrates the increasing global confidence in Indonesia’s economy. Investors highly value our commitment to clean governance,” President Prabowo stated.


Key topics discussed during the CEO Roundtable Forum 2024 included the government’s priority infrastructure projects, particularly those supporting energy and food security, initiatives for the energy transition and carbon emission reductions in Indonesia, as well as efforts to expand access to affordable and high-quality healthcare services.
