Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati expressed optimism about Indonesia’s economic growth in Q1 2025, citing strong economic indicators such as a sustained trade surplus and an expanding Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI). In February 2025, Indonesia’s trade balance recorded a surplus of USD 3.12 billion, marking 58 consecutive months of surplus since May 2020. This resilience is particularly remarkable given global economic challenges, including rising trade barriers and projected slowdowns.
Sri Mulyani highlighted that the PMI rebounded to 53.6, indicating a shift from contraction to expansion. She credited Indonesia’s economic strength to three key factors: household consumption, investment, and exports. With these solid foundations, the government remains committed to maintaining stable growth throughout 2025.
