The Indonesian government is projecting economic growth above 5.4% in 2026, supported by improved macroeconomic stability and easing global pressures. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto emphasized that Indonesia has expanded by 35% over the past seven years despite global uncertainties, with consistent signals of resilience including strong consumer confidence, an expanding manufacturing sector, steady financial markets, and controlled inflation and exchange rate movements. Investment realization has already surpassed IDR 1,400 trillion, with expectations of reaching IDR 1,900 trillion by year-end.
Airlangga also highlighted significant progress in Indonesia’s international economic engagement, including tariff agreements with the United States, accession efforts toward CPTPP, deeper involvement in BRICS+, and advancements in OECD membership. Domestically, the government is accelerating structural reforms to enhance licensing certainty and promote digital transformation through DEFA, expanded local currency transactions, and cross-border QRIS interoperability. These initiatives aim to strengthen competitiveness and support a more dynamic economic environment going into 2026.
