South Sulawesi Province recorded an extraordinary investment performance throughout 2025, with total realization reaching IDR 19.544 trillion, a 39.25 percent growth compared to the previous year. This impressive achievement successfully surpassed the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) target by 118 percent, reflecting high investor confidence in the region's economic potential. Domestic direct investment (PMDN) still dominates capital acquisition, yet foreign direct investment (PMA) contributions also continue to show a consistently positive upward trend. This success strengthens South Sulawesi's position as a primary investment destination in eastern Indonesia, supported by a stable business climate and pro-business regional government policies.
For business actors and association members, this investment growth has directly resulted in the employment of over 26,000 local workers across strategic sectors such as mining, housing, and the food industry. The South Sulawesi Provincial Government remains committed to providing simplified licensing services to ensure investors feel safe and comfortable developing their businesses in the region. Regional competitiveness is also being driven through the development of increasingly integrated industrial areas and transportation infrastructure to support smooth national logistics distribution. With a strong economic foundation, South Sulawesi is optimistic about maintaining positive investment growth momentum and opening more new job opportunities throughout 2026.
