Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesian government is gearing up to implement $8.5 billion in investment commitments from 10 UK companies, a key achievement of President Prabowo Subianto’s recent state visit.

Minister of Investment and Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Head Rosan Roeslani announced on Friday (22/11/2024) that his ministry will streamline these investments, resolving any potential challenges to ensure swift implementation.

"We are prioritizing rapid follow-through on these commitments. Any obstacles will be addressed transparently," he said, emphasizing BKPM’s pivotal role in achieving Indonesia’s target of 8% economic growth.

To advance these efforts, Minister Rosan plans to meet with major investors, including BP and Swire, to finalize their participation. He attributed the robust investor confidence to Indonesia’s political stability and its smooth governmental transition. 

"These factors significantly boost investor trust," he said, as quoted by antaranews.com.

Earlier, at the Indonesia-UK Climate and Green Finance event in London, Minister Rosan invited UK investors to capitalize on Indonesia’s renewable energy potential, particularly in geothermal energy. 

He stressed the importance of moving toward green technology and carbon capture solutions to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
