Indonesia’s Special Economic Zones (KEK) have successfully attracted a cumulative investment of IDR 335 trillion and generated employment for 248,459 people from 2012 to 2025. In 2025 alone, 25 KEK recorded an investment realization of IDR 82.5 trillion, achieving 98% of the target, with IDR 21 trillion added in the fourth quarter, highlighting consistent and solid performance. KEK’s contribution to national exports was equally significant, reaching IDR 43.95 trillion, driven by high-value-added sectors such as Smelter Grade Alumina from KEK Galang Batang, oleochemicals from KEK Sei Mangkei, anodes from KEK Kendal, and processed copper products from KEK Gresik.

The monitoring and reporting of KEK performance are integrated through the KEK Application System within Indonesia’s National Single Window (SINSW), ensuring accuracy and transparency. Strategic initiatives, including streamlined licensing, fiscal facility optimization, infrastructure development, labor protection, and selective management of foreign workers, are actively supported by cross-ministerial collaboration. These efforts reinforce KEK as a strategic instrument for sustainable, inclusive, and high-quality economic growth, aligning with Indonesia’s National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) and supporting the country’s eight percent economic growth target.
