Indonesia has recorded a cumulative 35% economic expansion over the past seven years, reflecting strong resilience despite persistent global volatility. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto highlighted that steady annual growth of around 5% has been maintained through multiple global shocks, supported by stable macroeconomic indicators, rising consumer confidence, an expanding manufacturing PMI, and strengthened financial markets. He also emphasized that inflation and exchange rate movements remain contained, while total investment realization has exceeded IDR 1,400 trillion with expectations of reaching IDR 1,900 trillion by year-end.
During the Closed-Door Dialogue: C-Suite Forum at the CIFP 2025 in Jakarta, Airlangga underscored Indonesia’s optimistic outlook for 2026, citing anticipated growth above 5.4% and reduced global headwinds. He detailed ongoing efforts to reinforce economic diplomacy—including the 19% tariff agreement with the United States, Indonesia’s accession progress to CPTPP and OECD, and its active role in BRICS+. Key reforms also include enhanced digital transformation through DEFA, broader Local Currency Transactions, cross-border QRIS interoperability, and structural deregulation to simplify licensing. The government is further accelerating green energy initiatives such as the Green Super Grid, CCS/CCUS development, and village-based solar expansion.
