The Governments of Indonesia and Qatar have agreed to establish a joint investment fund worth USD2 billion, following a meeting between President Prabowo Subianto and Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani on April 13. The agreement, confirmed by BPI Danantara CIO Pandu Sjahrir, is aimed at supporting strategic sectors aligned with the Onward Indonesia Cabinet’s priorities.
The fund will focus on food security, energy, digital infrastructure, and downstream resource development. The investments will aim for long-term economic benefits rather than short-term returns. While specific projects remain undisclosed, both leaders also signed several MoUs to deepen bilateral economic cooperation.
Further, Qatar has committed to a total investment of USD4 billion in Indonesia, with the new fund forming the first half of that commitment. The collaboration is intended to deliver sustainable value and productivity gains across targeted sectors.
