Indonesia's fdi inflows stood at 1.65% in 2025, a decline of +0.09% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.65% by 2025. Indonesia ranked 125th globally.
Indonesia's foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows have experienced significant fluctuations over the past 56 years, with a notable peak in 1975 when the country received 4.24 billion US dollars in FDI. In contrast, the lowest point was reached in 2000, with a negative FDI inflow of -2.76 billion US dollars, a stark reversal that underscores the country's vulnerability to global economic currents. While Indonesia's current rank of 125 globally, with FDI inflows of 1.65 billion US dollars in 2025, is a far cry from its peak, it is comparable to that of Zimbabwe, which ranks closely with a similar value. Djibouti, another peer country, lags behind Indonesia's current FDI inflows. The trajectory of Indonesia's FDI inflows has been shaped by various factors, including economic policies and global economic trends. To reverse the current stagnation and propel Indonesia's FDI inflows to a more competitive level, the government may consider implementing policies that promote foreign investment, such as streamlining regulations and investing in infrastructure.
