“The government recorded that cumulative realized investment in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) across Indonesia reached Rp353.5 trillion (approximately US$19.6 billion) as of the first quarter of 2026.”
“…optimism is grounded in the performance of several SEZs whose capacities are already fully utilized. Susiwijono cited three industry-based SEZs showing the most optimal performance: the Gresik SEZ, Kendal SEZ, and Galang Batang SEZ. These three zones have submitted applications for land expansion and development—averaging twice their existing area—to accommodate new investment demand.”
“Alongside the expansion plans, Susiwijono said there is potential for Rp846 trillion in new investments in the coming years, indicating continued investor interest in Indonesia.”
“He also raised the possibility of integrating SEZs with the Indonesian International Financial Center (IIFC). He said locating the financial center within an SEZ could provide additional layered incentives for investors.”
