The 2025 result
Achris Sarwani, head of Bank Indonesia's Bali office, said combined PMA and PMDN (foreign and domestic investment) reached Rp 42.82 trillion in 2025. That was 17.85% more than a year earlier.
The investment created more than 68,000 jobs. Sarwani said Bali's investment performance keeps strengthening despite global uncertainty.
The figures cover the whole of 2025 and include both foreign and domestic capital. Bank Indonesia draws on Ministry of Investment statistics.
Growth of almost 18% in a year stands out against global uncertainty and the conflict in the Middle East.
Tilted to the south
Roughly 88% of investment went to southern Bali. Badung regency alone received Rp 22.21 trillion. Services account for 97% of the total.
Among foreign investors, Australia led with Rp 3.89 trillion. Singapore and Russia each invested about Rp 3 trillion.
What the authorities plan
Officials have prepared a catalogue of 22 infrastructure projects for investors. It includes the Sanur health special economic zone and electric vehicle projects.
Bank Indonesia projects Bali's 2026 growth at 5.4% to 5.9%. The central bank also says investment needs to be spread more evenly across regencies and sectors.
Why it matters for different areas
The figures show that almost all investment flows into services, meaning tourism, hotels, restaurants and related businesses. Industry and farming receive a small share.
Bank Indonesia ties the resilience of investment to government incentives. At the same time it openly calls the concentration in the south a problem for balanced development. Central areas, including Gianyar, receive a smaller part of the money.
