### Strong Foreign Investment

In 2024, Indonesia attracted US$55.3 billion in foreign direct investment, a 21%
increase from the previous year. Major sectors such as mining, metal refining, and
manufacturing experienced substantial growth, with significant contributions from
Singapore, China, and Hong Kong. This underscores Indonesia’s pivotal role in global
supply chains and highlights international confidence in its economic potential.

### Growing Industrial Strength

Indonesia’s downstream mineral processing sector is a key growth driver. Leveraging
its vast nickel reserves, the country has shifted from exporting raw ore to producing
refined products, crucial for industries like electric vehicle battery manufacturing.
From 2020 to 2023, Indonesia’s nickel export value skyrocketed from US$1.4 billion
to US$34.8 billion, emphasizing its role in the clean energy economy.

This rapid growth has attracted significant foreign investment, with global companies
establishing partnerships and facilities in Indonesia to tap into its nickel processing
capabilities. The government’s policies, including export bans on raw nickel ore
and incentives for local processing, have further strengthened the country’s position
as a global hub for nickel-based industries. Looking ahead, Indonesia aims to expand
its downstream capabilities to include more advanced technologies, such as recycling
and sustainable nickel production, ensuring its pivotal role in the global transition
to clean energy.
