By the end of 2025, cumulative investment in Indonesia's Special Economic Zones (KEK) is projected to reach Rp 335 trillion, creating 248,459 jobs. This achievement underscores the strategic role of KEK in driving investment, job creation, and inclusive national economic growth.

The Acting Secretary General of the National KEK Council, Rizal Edwin Manansang, reported that throughout 2025, investment in 25 KEK is expected to total Rp 82.5 trillion, approximately 98% of the set target. In the fourth quarter of 2025 alone, additional investments are recorded at Rp 21 trillion.

KEK also contributes to export performance, with exports from these zones reaching Rp 43.95 trillion in 2025, an increase of Rp 21.93 trillion from the previous year. This growth is attributed to high-value sectors, including alumina from KEK Galang Batang and copper products from KEK Gresik.
