Indonesia’s Top Investment Destinations in 2024

In 2024, Indonesian companies expanded their global presence through significant foreign direct investment (FDI), with Singapore emerging as the top destination, receiving an impressive ($9 billion). This was followed by Malaysia with ($6 billion), while Australia and China each attracted ($5 billion). The United States completed the top five with ($4 billion).

The strong investment in Singapore reflects its role as a financial hub and regional gateway for Indonesian businesses, particularly in banking, technology, and infrastructure. Malaysia continues to attract Indonesian capital due to historical ties and collaboration in manufacturing and real estate. Meanwhile, Australia and China’s appeal lies in opportunities within mining, energy, and digital economy initiatives.

The United States remains a key target for Indonesian investment, with sectors like fintech, food and beverage, and e-commerce gaining traction. Additionally, the UAE ($3 billion) and Vietnam ($2.5 billion) have become emerging markets for Indonesian investors, driven by growth in logistics, hospitality, and manufacturing.

Indonesia’s outward investments demonstrate its ambition to establish a stronger global economic footprint. However, businesses must navigate regulatory complexities and competitive landscapes to sustain long-term success in these markets.
