RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta – Indonesia's manufacturing performance continues to show a positive trend, reaching a level of 53.8 in February 2026. This figure is an increase from the previous month and is the highest achievement in the last two years due to high demand for new goods.

Director General of Economic and Fiscal Strategy, Febrio Kacaribu, explained that the strength of the domestic economy is a very important asset. The government will continue to strive to maintain this stability through various financial assistance and job creation programs.

“Domestic economic resilience is an important asset amid a dynamic global situation,” said Febrio Kacaribu in an official statement quoted from the Ministry of Finance website on Monday, March 2, 2026.

In addition to manufacturing, public spending interest is also very strong, especially in the purchase of food, clothing, and motor vehicles. This is evidenced by the increase in the Consumer Confidence Index, indicating that the public is optimistic about the current economic conditions.

Indonesia's foreign trade also recorded a surplus of USD0.95 billion in January 2026. Exports of products such as palm oil, nickel, and electronic goods are the largest contributors to state revenue.

Despite global challenges such as the conflict in the Middle East, the government continues to monitor the situation to ensure energy supplies and commodity prices remain stable. The government is committed to ensuring that food prices, such as rice and sugar, remain affordable, especially ahead of Ramadan.

“The government continues to closely monitor global geopolitical dynamics and various risks that could potentially affect the national economy,” Febrio added, emphasizing the government's vigilance.
