Indonesia’s Policy Direction for Chinese Investment in 2026–2027
A Practical Perspective for Chinese Enterprises Entering Indonesia
Indonesia’s approach to foreign direct investment continues to evolve in a more structured and selective direction. For Chinese companies, particularly in the 2026–2027 period, the opportunity remains strong, but the entry strategy requires a clearer understanding of policy priorities and ecosystem readiness.
Rather than focusing solely on large-scale flagship investments, Indonesia is increasingly encouraging mid-sized Chinese enterprises to enter the market. These companies are expected to integrate into existing industrial and commercial ecosystems that have already been established by earlier investors.

A Shift Toward Ecosystem-Based Investment
Over the past decade, major Chinese enterprises have laid the groundwork in sectors such as manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and downstream processing. The current policy direction builds on this foundation.
For the next phase, Indonesia places greater emphasis on:
-
Supply chain completion
-
Supporting industries and services
-
Operational efficiency and local integration
This creates a natural entry point for mid-sized Chinese companies that can operate alongside large anchor investors and contribute to a more resilient industrial ecosystem.
What This Means for Chinese Companies
For Chinese enterprises planning to enter Indonesia, the focus is no longer only on scale. Authorities now pay closer attention to:
-
Business substance and operational readiness

-
Compliance with tax, accounting, and regulatory frameworks
-
Long-term contribution to employment, technology transfer, and local value creation
Companies that are well-prepared from a governance and compliance perspective tend to move faster through regulatory processes and build stronger relationships with local stakeholders.
The Role of Professional and Advisory Support
As investment structures become more integrated, professional support plays a more strategic role. Accounting, tax, audit, and regulatory advisory services are no longer administrative functions. They are part of investment risk management and long-term sustainability.
Early alignment on:
-
Corporate structure
-
Tax positioning
-
Financial reporting standards
-
Regulatory obligations
helps investors avoid unnecessary friction and focus on execution.
Looking Ahead
Indonesia remains open to Chinese investment, with a clear preference for investors who understand the local ecosystem and are ready to operate responsibly within it. For mid-sized Chinese enterprises, the coming years present a timely opportunity to enter Indonesia by leveraging existing industrial networks rather than building everything from the ground up.
A well-planned entry strategy, supported by local insight and professional guidance, will be a key differentiator in 2026–2027.
