The Indonesian government has allocated IDR 200 trillion in liquidity to strengthen the national economy by stimulating credit growth in productive business sectors. This initiative aims to accelerate economic recovery and enhance national competitiveness. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa emphasised that for this injection of funds to truly serve as an economic lever, proper distribution is crucial. If the credit is misallocated or not directed toward productive sectors, the intended multiplier effect will not be achieved.
A study by NEXT Indonesia Centre, using data from 2014–2024 (excluding the pandemic year 2020), identified eight key sectors with a multiplier value greater than 1. This means that credit provided to these sectors can generate a GDP increase averaging 1.44 times the credit amount. With accurate targeting and efficient distribution, this IDR 200 trillion initiative has the potential to significantly boost Indonesia’s economic growth, drive innovation, and create new opportunities for businesses and communities across the country.
