Capital-hungry Indonesia to reduce hurdles for foreign investors

White paper lays out steps to attract the private funds it needs to meet climate goals

- 

Indonesia is poised to streamline measures to draw more foreign investors and banks into emissions-cutting projects, with a forthcoming white paper laying out steps to attract the private capital it needs to meet its climate goals.

The Indonesian authorities have finalised the governance structure and implementation plan for a new body that will align the country’s fragmented regulatory frameworks and policies, according to a copy of the paper seen by Bloomberg News. The Sustainable Finance Committee will likely have about 20 members, including senior officials from the Finance Ministry, the Financial Services Authority and Bank Indonesia.

The committee, which the Finance Ministry will oversee as coordinator, was signed into law in 2023. Its members are expected to be finalised in the first quarter of 2026 and it will have a secretariat and working groups.
