In the midst of global uncertainty, Indonesia’s economy remains resilient. By the end of August 2025, the performance of the APBN (State Budget) has shown positive results. The government reports that inflation has been kept stable, helping to preserve people’s purchasing power. A surplus in trade was recorded, fueled by rising exports in sectors like industry and agriculture, as well as efforts in value addition (downstream industry development). The manufacturing sector returned to expansion; household consumption grew steadily; and investment activity improved.
By August 2025, the state’s revenue reached IDR 1,638 trillion, while expenditures totalled IDR 1,960 trillion. Funds from the budget have been deployed to support social protection (e.g. Program Keluarga Harapan, educational assistance, energy and fertiliser subsidies), infrastructure development (irrigation, roads, education facilities), and to stabilise prices and supply. Overall, the positive performance of the APBN, controlled inflation, and continued economic growth point to Indonesia’s ability to withstand external pressures, with optimism that this momentum can carry forward.
