Minerals were the biggest component

The mineral category accounted for approximately 63.9% of the IDR 584.1 trillion downstream total. Plantations and forestry accounted for about 24.7%, followed by oil and gas and marine and fisheries. Published components differ from the total by IDR 0.1 trillion after rounding. Source 1

The ownership mix differs from the overall figures

Foreign direct investment accounted for IDR 429.6 trillion of downstream investment, or 73.5%. In the total investment release, it accounted for IDR 900.9 trillion or 46.6%. Downstream is a subset of that larger reported total. Source 1

The leading downstream location differs from the overall ranking

BKPM ranks Central Sulawesi first for downstream investment followed by North Maluku. West Java led the overall investment table. A location's rank depends on which investment categories are included. Source 1

Realised investment is the release's basis

BKPM uses investment realisation and reports it against a government target for the year. It records downstream as 30.2% of overall investment and says it grew 43.3% over 2024. These amounts describe reported investment implemented rather than the value of new approvals. Source 1
