Jakarta – The government has established inclusive fiscal policy as the core foundation for achieving economic equality under the leadership of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka. Through a more progressive fiscal strategy, the government aims to ensure that economic growth is not only reflected on paper but also felt in the real sector and among the lowest-income groups.
The government’s expansionary fiscal approach has drawn significant attention following Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa’s decision to channel Rp200 trillion of state funds into national banks. This move is designed to boost liquidity and accelerate credit distribution to businesses, MSMEs, and labor-intensive industries.
“These funds must truly flow into real-sector lending, not merely remain within financial instruments,” emphasized Minister Purbaya.
The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) welcomed the fiscal measure, calling it a bold and timely step. Sarman Simanjorang, Kadin’s Deputy Chair for Regional Autonomy Development, said the policy could accelerate business expansion, create more jobs, and enhance people’s purchasing power.
“The Finance Minister has taken a strategic decision by disbursing Rp200 trillion through state-owned banks,” said Sarman.
The national financial market responded positively. Shares of BNI, Mandiri, BRI, and BTN surged by more than 5 percent at the opening of trading. The government viewed this as a signal of market confidence in the new fiscal direction. Increased liquidity is expected to serve as fuel for domestic economic growth.
Indonesia’s economic growth continues to show a stable upward trend. In the third quarter of 2025, the economy expanded by 5.04 percent year-on-year, creating 1.9 million new jobs and reducing the unemployment rate to 4.85 percent.
“The state budget (APBN) plays a crucial role in maintaining people’s purchasing power and supporting businesses to become more competitive,” stated Minister Purbaya.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto noted that President Prabowo had specifically instructed the economic team to sustain growth momentum through the fourth quarter.
“Growth remains strong, and household consumption will rise in Q4. The President emphasized that this momentum must be maintained,” said Airlangga.
Economic analysts also share an optimistic outlook. Faisal Rachman, Head of Macroeconomic Research at Permata Bank, said that the fiscal direction signals a solid recovery.
“GDP prospects are in the range of 5.0 to 5.1 percent for 2025—an upward revision from previous projections,” he said.
With a fiscal policy focused on inclusivity and equity, the government is targeting growth that is not only high but also broad-based, reaching all levels of society. The administration views this strategy as a key foundation for realizing “Indonesia Maju 2045,” where economic growth and social welfare progress hand in hand.
