| Prabowo Pushes Forward Giant Sea Wall to Save Northern Java Coastline from Rising Seas and Climate Crisis. |
Jakarta, Indonesia – In a bold and optimistic speech at the 2025 International Infrastructure Conference held at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) on June 12, President Prabowo Subianto made a strong call to action: private sector players, both domestic and international, are officially invited to take a major role in building Indonesia’s infrastructure.
With an open and collaborative tone, President Prabowo expressed his vision of a new era of partnership between the government and private sector. This approach, he explained, is essential to accelerate national development, reduce infrastructure gaps, and ensure that growth reaches all parts of the country.
"The Doors Are Wide Open," Says Prabowo
In his keynote address, Prabowo didn’t mince words:
“I am now inviting the private sector, both local and international, to participate in our infrastructure development to the greatest extent possible,” he declared confidently.
This isn’t just lip service. The message is clear: the Indonesian government wants real collaboration, not just investment. And they’re ready to match that commitment with action and real capital.
Investment-Friendly Policies Are a Top Priority
To attract more investors, the government is taking steps to make Indonesia a more welcoming place for doing business—starting with simplifying bureaucracy. The licensing process, which has long been seen as a bottleneck, is undergoing massive reform.
President Prabowo emphasized that new investment service centers are being set up to fast-track infrastructure projects and make sure nothing slows down the process.
“I welcome the establishment of centers and offices that support and secure all projects so they’re not hindered,” Prabowo explained.
These centers will act as one-stop services, helping investors with documentation, permitting, land use, legal coordination, and conflict resolution.
The Government Is Bringing Real Money to the Table
What sets this administration apart is that it’s not just asking for money—it’s willing to put its own money where its mouth is. Prabowo revealed that thanks to careful fiscal management and efficiency, the state now has financial reserves that can be used for co-investments.
“We’re not just asking for empty shares. We’re putting in real money, real capital,” he assured.
This kind of shared risk is designed to give private investors more confidence. They won’t be alone in taking financial leaps— the Indonesian government will be right there with them.
Long-Term Stability and Legal Certainty Guaranteed
One of the biggest concerns for long-term investors is the risk of instability—whether political, legal, or economic. Prabowo understands that.
That’s why part of his message was aimed at reassuring stakeholders that infrastructure projects in Indonesia will be protected from disruptions. The government is committed to maintaining macroeconomic stability, political peace, and legal consistency.
“We want every investor to feel safe, to feel confident. Because we know that building infrastructure is a long-term game,” Prabowo said.
This assurance is especially important for foreign investors who are used to highly regulated environments and clear legal frameworks.
Infrastructure Is More Than Roads and Bridges
President Prabowo made it clear that when he talks about infrastructure, he’s not just talking about physical structures. He’s talking about building the future of Indonesia—together.
From highways, ports, and railways to airports, power plants, smart cities, and digital infrastructure—everything is on the table. The country is opening its arms to innovation, technology, and sustainable solutions.
“We don’t just want concrete and steel. We want growth, jobs, and better lives for our people,” he said.
This Is the Right Time to Invest in Indonesia
Prabowo stressed that conditions in Indonesia have never been better for investors. With fiscal strength, political stability, pro-business reforms, and clear national goals, this is the ideal moment to get involved.
Key national strategic projects are now listed under fast-track initiatives, and sectors like transportation, energy, logistics, digital connectivity, and urban development are actively looking for partners.
Whether you're a global investor, a regional developer, or a tech-based startup looking to scale—Indonesia has something to offer.
No Competition, Only Collaboration
The President ended his address with a powerful message: national development is not a competition between the government and private businesses. It’s a partnership.
“We don’t want to do this alone. And you don’t have to either. If we walk together, we can go further,” he concluded with a smile.
His words received a warm response from the audience, which included top business leaders, infrastructure experts, ministers, and international delegates.
