Deals cluster along Sulawesi's nickel belt, Java's manufacturing corridor, and Riau's energy hub — reflecting where Chinese capital has moved to secure processing capacity and downstream value.

Sector & Timeline ANALYSIS

Committed capital is highly concentrated. A treemap makes each sector's share of the total instantly readable — larger tiles carry more weight. Alongside it, annual flow shows both dollar volume (gold area) and deal frequency (navy dots) year by year.

FDI by Sector
Share of committed value · treemap

Reading the chart: tile area is proportional to total committed value. Metals dominates by a wide margin, followed by energy and transport — the three pillars of the nickel-to-EV supply-chain build-out.

Annual Deal Flow
Committed value (gold area) & deal count (navy dots)

Reading the chart: the gold area tracks USD committed each year; navy dots show how many separate deals closed. Value peaks often coincide with a few very large transactions rather than broad activity.

Sectoral Trend TIME SERIES

Tick sectors below to compare how commitments have evolved. Metals leads in aggregate, but transport and energy show sharper year-on-year swings tied to specific mega-projects.
