The proposal includes significant purchases of energy and agricultural commodities, as well as investment plans involving Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund Danantara, the country’s coordinating minister for economic affairs Airlangga Hartarto said.
“Earlier we discussed Indonesia’s plan to purchase US energy products, with a potential value reaching $15.5 billion,” domestic media reports cited Airlangga as telling a press conference in Jakarta.
The target is to address US trade deficit with Indonesia, which currently stands at around $19 billion.
The two sides are also exploring deeper collaboration in the mining sector, particularly in critical minerals.
Danantara will play a strategic role in supporting these investment projects, many of which are expected to involve US partners, Airlangga added.
