Foreign housing investment plays a crucial role in driving Indonesia’s ambitious housing initiatives. With President Prabowo Subianto’s goal to construct 3 million homes annually, foreign investors have stepped in as valuable partners. Their contributions not only address the housing shortage but also stimulate economic growth.
Countries like China, Qatar, and the UAE have shown interest, reflecting Indonesia’s growing appeal in the global real estate market. This collaboration marks a significant step toward a sustainable and inclusive housing sector in Indonesia.
How Foreign Housing Investment Boosts the 3 Million Homes Program
Deputy Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas, Fahri Hamzah, emphasized the government’s readiness to support foreign investors. He stated, as reported by bisnis.com, “The government is simply facilitating anyone from around the world who wants to contribute to the 3 million homes per year program led by the President. We welcome everyone.”
The administration has prepared various facilities to accommodate these investments, ensuring a smooth process for interested global partners. This openness underscores the collaborative effort required to achieve the ambitious housing target.
Among the strongest supporters of this program is Qatar, which has committed to direct collaboration with President Prabowo Subianto in signing investment agreements. Other countries, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and China, have also pledged their support.
This collective effort not only drives the construction of 3 million homes but also expands to a broader goal of 7 million housing units, funded in part by these nations. A significant portion of this initiative focuses on rural and coastal areas, where 2 million homes will be built by local MSME contractors.
This approach emphasizes mutual cooperation, strengthening village economies while addressing housing needs across the nation. By working alongside foreign partners, Indonesia is poised to meet its ambitious housing targets and deliver sustainable growth for its people.
Investor-Friendly Policies Bolster Indonesia’s Housing Sector
The government’s commitment to creating an investment-friendly environment is evident in the efforts of the Red and White Cabinet. Regulations supporting foreign investments in the housing sector were meticulously prepared under the leadership of Minister Maruarar Sirait, also known as “Ara.”
Long-term efforts by officials like Hashim Djojohadikusumo and Fahri Hamzah, along with accelerated investment reports from Rosan Roeslani, have significantly contributed to this progress. A cross-sectoral team, including various ministries and institutions like the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency, ensures investments proceed efficiently and comply with regulations.
Ara highlighted the importance of thorough preparation, from land provision to economic impact. “We must ensure all preparations are thorough, from land provision to economic impact.

Prabowo’s Leadership Inspires Confidence in Foreign Housing Investment

Ara emphasized how President Prabowo’s global reputation has attracted diverse international investors to Indonesia’s housing sector. This trust has fostered an environment where foreign contributions play a pivotal role in achieving national housing goals.
“The international community’s trust in President Prabowo is very high. This is not the only investment entering the housing sector, and we will see more similar support in the future,” said Ara. This growing confidence underscores the pivotal role of Prabowo’s leadership in attracting substantial foreign contributions to Indonesia’s housing development goals.
