Singapore Largest Foreign Investor in Indonesia in the First Half of 2014
According to the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Singapore is the largest foreign investor in Indonesia. In the first half of 2014, Indonesia received USD $3.4 billion worth of investments from Singapore. In total, foreign companies invested IDR 150 trillion (USD $12.9 billion) in Indonesia during the first six months of 2014. This is the highest amount of foreign investment that Indonesia has ever managed to attract in a six-month period. It also diluted fears that the legislative and presidential elections would cause a temporary slowdown.
Most foreign investment realization in the first six months of 2014 went to the Indonesia’s mining sector (USD $2.8 billion) due to increased investments in smelting facilities, followed by the food industry sector (USD $2.1 billion), and the transportation, warehouse & telecommunication sector (USD $1.6 billion).
Based on location, foreign investment was highest in West Java (USD $3.2 billion) and the special territory of Jakarta (USD $2.1 billion) in the first half of 2014. These regions are the most densely populated regions of Indonesia. Third most populair foreign investment destination was mineral-rich East Kalimantan (USD $1.5 billion).
