<![CDATA[Indonesia has abundant nickel reserves and significant potential to promote economic growth through downstreaming strategies. However, studies analyzing the impacts of nickel downstreaming investment injections on intersectoral output, household income, and value added using the Input-Output approach remain relatively limited. This study aims to analyze the linkages of nickel downstreaming with intersectoral output, household income, and value added in Indonesia. The analysis employs an Input-Output model with an investment injection of IDR 153.2 trillion into the metal, iron, and steel processing industry as a representation of nickel downstreaming activities, using 50%, 100%, and 150% injection scenarios. The results show that the largest impacts on output and value added occur in the non-metallic, iron, and steel processing industry, while the largest household income impact occurs in the same sector, followed by wholesale and retail trade and mining and quarrying. Increasing the injection scenario only changes the magnitude of impacts without altering the intersectoral ranking. Expanding the impacts of nickel downstreaming requires strengthening local inputs, high-value-added downstream industries, technology transfer, and human resource development.]]>
