Indonesia's Economy Continues to Grow Amid Global Fragmentation

Amid global uncertainty driven by geopolitical and economic factors, Indonesia’s economy shows resilience. Dr. Sudarto, director of the Great Institute, noted a 5% growth in Indonesia’s economy in 2026 despite challenges like US-Venezuela tensions, China-Taiwan relations crisis, and the Russia-Ukraine war. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto plays a crucial role in maintaining stable economic policies.

Growth is fueled by government programs like ‘Free Nutritious Meals’ (MBG), reaching millions, and bolstering the economy through ‘Desa Merah Putih’ cooperatives.

For 2026, a steady economic growth between 5.3-5.6% is forecasted, with Great Institute urging structural reforms to sustain this growth.
