Jakarta – The government continues to strengthen its commitment to maintaining national economic stability by providing stimulus focused on maintaining public purchasing power and optimizing the role of the State Budget (APBN) as the primary fiscal instrument. This step is key to addressing uncertain global dynamics, including the risk of a global economic slowdown, fluctuating energy prices, and lingering inflationary pressures.
The government officially launched the 2025 Economic Stimulus Package entitled the 8+4+5 Economic Stimulus which includes a total of 17 programs, which are divided into three main groups, namely 8 accelerated programs for 2025, 4 continuation programs that will continue in 2026, and 5 programs focused on job creation.
The main objectives of the 2025 Economic Stimulus Package are to strengthen social protection, expand employment opportunities, and encourage growth in national strategic sectors.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said that President Prabowo Subianto had given the green light for the implementation of these programs.
“I attended a meeting with the President earlier, and the meeting with the President discussed the policies to be implemented, known as the 2025 Economic Package Program, which consists of eight accelerated programs in 2025, four programs to be continued in 2026, and five programs related to the government’s mainstay for workforce absorption,” Airlangga said.
Airlangga explained that the 2025 Economic Stimulus Package was designed to maintain growth and strengthen public purchasing power. The President emphasized that this measure was not merely a short-term response, but a strategy to maintain sustainable growth.
On the same occasion, Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said the government had prepared the stimulus budget without burdening state finances.
“We ensure this stimulus is effective without disrupting the budget deficit and while maintaining fiscal stability,” Purbaya said.***
