Indonesian and U.S. companies signed 11 preliminary memorandums of understanding (MoUs) in Washington, with a reported value of $38.4 billion, according to the Indonesian government as reported by Reuters. The figure is not proof that $38.4 billion has been invested or that the MoUs have become binding transactions.
What the $38.4 billion in company deals covers
Reuters reported that the 11 preliminary company agreements span mining, energy, agriculture, textiles and technology. The Indonesian government supplied the headline total; the accessible reporting does not break it down by company or project.
An MoU records an understanding between parties, but the label alone does not establish that a project is financed, legally binding, underway or completed. The reporting describes these agreements as preliminary and does not confirm investment of the full stated amount.
How the company MoUs differ from the trade agreement
A separate Reuters factbox reports that Indonesia and the United States finalized a government-to-government trade agreement. Its terms include lower U.S. levies on goods from Indonesia and an indicative value of imports of U.S. goods and services that Indonesia would arrange. That import figure is also $38.4 billion, but it is a separate claim from the company MoU total.

| Figure or term | What it refers to | Status in the reporting |
|---|---|---|
| $38.4 billion | 11 preliminary Indonesian-U.S. company MoUs, across mining, energy, agriculture, textiles and technology | Reported value of preliminary agreements; not confirmation of completed investment. Reuters report carried by MarketScreener, February 18, 2026 |
| Up to $38.4 billion | Indicative Indonesian imports of U.S. goods and services under the trade agreement | A separate trade-agreement figure, not the value of the company MoUs. Reuters also itemizes about $15 billion in energy commodities and $4.5 billion in agricultural goods. Reuters factbox carried by Investing.com, February 20, 2026 |
| 19%, down from 32% | U.S. levies on goods from Indonesia | Reported as a term of the finalized trade agreement. Reuters factbox carried by Investing.com, February 20, 2026 |
What is—and is not—confirmed
The reported information does not include the full text of all 11 MoUs or a complete list of company signatories. It also does not establish individual project values, financing, binding status or implementation schedules. Those details should not be inferred from the headline total.
