Strengthening Collaboration to Attract European Union Investment to Indonesia, Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry Establishes EU Desk

Jakarta, 13 June 2025-The Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), in partnership with the Delegation of the European Union to Indonesia, has officially signed a Joint Statement to establish the EU Desk, which will operate within the Ministry’s premises. This initiative marks a new chapter in enhancing collaboration to facilitate the inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from the European Union into Indonesia.

The Minister of Investment and Downstream Industry/Chairman of BKPM Rosan Perkasa Roeslani expressed his optimism that establishing the EU Desk will significantly boost European investment in Indonesia. He emphasized that this initiative aligns with President Prabowo’s directive to streamline regulations and policies to reduce bureaucratic hurdles, particularly in the investment sector.


“We believe the EU Desk will open broader communication channels and foster more strategic cooperation opportunities. The European Union is a key partner for Indonesia, and this platform will further strengthen our future collaboration,” said Minister Rosan.


The EU Desk is designed as a dedicated service center for European investors seeking to invest in Indonesia. Its functions include providing market intelligence, business licensing guidance, facilitating business partnerships, identifying potential investment projects, and aligning regulatory frameworks between parties. The collaboration will focus on future-oriented sectors, aligning with Indonesia’s and the EU’s strategic policy priorities. This partnership affirms Indonesia’s ongoing commitment to building meaningful collaborations with strategic global partners.


“Indeed, we are increasingly open to broader partnerships. I am confident that establishing the EU Desk will lead to more impactful collaborations. We are ready to continue strengthening our ties with the European Union,” Rosan added.


This initiative also underscores the Ministry’s commitment to accelerating the conclusion of the European Union–Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (EU–CEPA), which is expected to be finalized by the end of the year. The EU Desk reflects a concrete effort by both sides to foster a more inclusive, productive, and forward-looking economic partnership.

The EU Ambassador to Indonesia Denis Chaibi stressed that the EU Desk is not merely a technical facility but a representation of the shared ambition to promote high-quality and sustainable investment. He noted that the EU currently holds a global investment stock of USD11 trillion, yet the share of investment flowing into Indonesia remains relatively low. Therefore, the EU is committed to diversifying its investments, with Indonesia as one of its key priority destinations.


“We aim to collaborate in sectors aligned with the Asta Cita Vision. While we may not lead in every sector, we are world leaders or runners-up in renewable energy, water, waste management, and technology. European companies excel in these fields, and we are eager to support Indonesia’s efforts in attracting impactful FDI that generates employment and advances cooperation in strategic sectors aligned with the country’s national development goals,” said Denis.


According to data from the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/BKPM, the total realized investment from the EU from 2019 to the first quarter of 2025 reached USD13 billion. Key sectors include:

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry: USD2.1 billion

Electricity, Gas, and Water: USD1.9 billion

Housing, Industrial Estates, and Office Areas: USD1.1 billion

Transportation, Warehousing, and Communication: USD1.07 billion

Other Services: USD1.05 billion
