Jakarta – The Indonesian government has emphasized that national economic resilience remains the key factor in navigating rising geopolitical tensions and global market volatility.
Amid these dynamics, Indonesia’s economic fundamentals are considered strong and capable of mitigating various external pressures.
Spokesperson for the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Haryo Limanseto, stated that the government continues to closely monitor global developments while ensuring that domestic conditions remain stable. He also noted that public perspectives play an important role in shaping policy decisions.
“We respect the various views expressed by the public. However, we would like to emphasize that the government ensures Indonesia’s economic fundamentals remain strong and resilient, supported by several key factors,” Haryo said.
According to him, macroeconomic stability remains intact, with economic growth reaching 5.11 percent year-on-year in 2025 and inflation staying within the targeted range. Domestic consumption continues to serve as the main driver of growth, supported by fiscal stimulus and social assistance programs.
The government has also strengthened economic buffers through food and energy resilience, including achieving self-sufficiency in several key commodities and recording an energy surplus through the biodiesel program.
Efforts to transform the economy are being continuously advanced through industrial downstreaming, investment expansion, and the development of renewable energy and electric vehicles.
“We will continue to maintain stability and ensure that policies remain adaptive to global developments, so that the national economy continues to grow positively and sustainably,” Haryo emphasized.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa affirmed that the State Budget (APBN) remains capable of withstanding global shocks. He highlighted that sufficient fiscal space is still available to serve as an economic buffer.
“We consistently maintain a sustainable budget, and we still have room to provide a cushion against global economic turbulence,” Purbaya said.
He added that the budget deficit remains under control through the end of the year.
“Our budget will remain sustainable through year-end, and the deficit is still well within manageable limits,” he explained.
Purbaya further stressed that the government has carefully anticipated all fiscal dynamics through the end of the year, ensuring that the budget remains stable and does not raise concerns among the public or market participants.
“The public and media should not be concerned about an uncontrolled deficit or fiscal instability. Everything is well managed, and we have calculated projections through the end of the year,” he concluded.
