#中国投资者涌向印尼 Recently, Chinese investors have shown a trend of flocking to Indonesia, a phenomenon driven by several factors:
Investment Scale and Status: In the first half of 2025, mainland China's direct investment in Indonesia reached $3.6 billion. Although it decreased by 8% year-on-year, it still ranked third among Indonesia's foreign investment sources, second only to Singapore and Hong Kong.
Investment Areas: Chinese investment in Indonesia is expanding from traditional mineral processing to more diversified fields.
Main factors
Policy Support: The Indonesian government has introduced a series of policies to attract foreign investment, such as focusing on the development of downstream industries. Chinese investment accounts for 12% of these downstream industries, with a total scale of 280.8 trillion Indonesian Rupiah. In addition, the "Golden Visa" launched by the Indonesian government has also attracted some Chinese investors.
Market Potential: With a population of over 270 million, Indonesia is the 7th largest economy in the world. The large population base provides a broad consumer market for Chinese investors.
Rich in Resources: Indonesia is rich in natural resources, such as nickel, copper, and coal. These resources are very attractive to China's related industries. For example, Chinese companies have invested heavily in Indonesia's nickel smelting industry, with Tsingshan Holding and Jiangsu Delong Nickel Industry jointly controlling more than 70% of Indonesia's nickel refining capacity.
