Minister of Investment Moves Swiftly to Realize USD 8.5 Billion Investment Commitments from British Companies

London, November 21, 2024 – The Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry/Chairman of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, announced that he will promptly follow up on investment commitments from 10 British companies worth USD 8.5 billion. Those commitments are one of the outcomes of President Prabowo Subianto’s state visit to England on November 21–22, 2024.

At a press conference held after the CEO Roundtable Forum 2024, Rosan said that the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM would immediately facilitate the expressed interests and oversee them should any obstacles be encountered during the implementation on the field.


“We will swiftly proceed with the implementation of those commitments. Some challenges we have to resolve, we will talk openly. At the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, he (the president) conveyed that we are the spearhead for achieving Indonesia’s 8% growth target,” Rosan revealed.


As part of the efforts to immediately realize those commitments, Rosan admitted that he would meet with several companies that have expressed their commitment to invest in Indonesia. “Tomorrow, I will continue meetings with 8 companies that I’ve met earlier today, among which are BP and Swire,” he said.


On the same occasion, Rosan also explained the reasons behind the investors’ enthusiasm for investing in Indonesia. According to him, the investors’ interest was inseparable from the stable national political conditions. “They also appreciate the peaceful transition of government. This has increased investors’ confidence,” Rosan said.


In the forum, Rosan mentioned that President Prabowo highlighted the government’s focus on providing affordable housing cost-efficiently, supported by a governance that is transparent and free of conflicts of interest. “So, how to build 3 million homes every year over the next 10 years. This is certainly an opportunity for investors,” said Rosan.


In an earlier press statement, President Prabowo emphasized that global confidence in Indonesia continued to grow, as evidenced by previous visits to Brazil, the United States, and China. Moreover, the government’s commitment to clean and efficient governance was also one of the key attractions for investors. “I think this is very good; demonstrates global confidence in Indonesia’s economy. Of course, a clean government; they highly value our goodwill,” said Prabowo.


Some of the things discussed at the CEO Roundtable Forum 2024 included the government’s priority infrastructure projects, particularly those supporting energy and food security, initiatives for energy transition and carbon emission reduction in Indonesia, as well as expanding access and quality to affordable healthcare services. Participants in the forum included Britcham Indonesia, Babcock International Group, BAE Systems, Thales UK, British Petroleum (BP), Standard Chartered, HSBC, AstraZeneca, Jardine Matheson, John Swire & Sons Ltd, Unilever, Mott Macdonald, Arup, Harbour Energy, Airbus, Prudential, King’s College London, and Lancaster University.
