The American Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are pleased to present our latest US-Indonesia Investment Report, the 11th edition since 2013. These reports are a mainstay of our “Initiative Indonesia” partnership, and have from the outset been informed by a commitment to work together with the Government of Indonesia to promote a positive business climate and, in turn, greater prosperity for Indonesia and its people.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia (AmCham Indonesia), in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and with funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), today released "US Investment: A Partner in Innovation for Indonesia," a comprehensive report showing that U.S. investment in Indonesia generated an economic impact of $130 billion between 2014 and 2023, stemming from direct investments totaling $67 billion. Research for the report was done by EY Indonesia.

During the 11th annual US-Indonesia Investment Summit, “Mapping the Legacy, Navigating the Future,” co-hosts AmCham Indonesia and the US Chamber of Commerce also released Progress and Greater Promise Ahead, our annual investment report. Below is the Executive Summary of the report.

During the 10th anniversary session of the US-Indonesia Investment Summit titled Reaping the Benefits of Reform, the co-hosts of the event, AmCham Indonesia and the US Chamber of Commerce, also released Resilient Indonesia, our annual report on the state of the investment climate in the country. The report was made possible with funding from USAID, research was done by EY Indonesia. The report was formally received by OJK Chairman Mahendra Siregar from AmCham Chairman Scott Hanna.

The report quantifies the actual level of US investment from 2013 to 2017 and looks at the factors impacting investment performance. The analysis also contains sector-specific recommendations and identifies some of the barriers to investment, with recommendations for further discussion.

The journey toward reform and economic transformation for Indonesia did not begin with the current government, nor will it end when the next government’s term is over in 2024.
