RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The Indonesian government assessed that the national economy remains on a solid track despite ongoing global pressures. Various macroeconomic indicators are seen as demonstrating resilience while serving as a foundation for accelerating growth.

Secretary of the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Susiwijono Moegiarso, said indicators such as economic growth, inflation, investment, and foreign exchange reserves reflect positive conditions.

“The various challenges we face can be overcome because the nation’s economic fundamentals remain well‑maintained,” Susiwijono said in a statement in Jakarta on Monday, June 29, 2026, as quoted by Antara.

Indonesia’s economic growth in the first quarter of 2026 reached 5.61 percent. Inflation in May stood at 3.08 percent -- still within the target range -- while the consumer confidence index remained at an optimistic level.

The manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) returned to the expansionary level of 50. Foreign exchange reserves reached USD 144.9 billion, equivalent to 5.6 months of imports, while actual investment in Q1 2026 nearly reached IDR 500 trillion (approximately USD 28.01 billion).

To maintain momentum, the government continues to accelerate investment, improve the ease of doing business, strengthen downstream industrial development, develop the digital economy, and enhance food and energy security as well as the quality of human resources.

The government is also expanding access to export markets by finalizing international trade agreements, including the Indonesia‑European Union Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IEU‑CEPA) and the Indonesia‑Eurasian Economic Union Free Trade Agreement (I‑EAEU FTA).

In the investment sector, deregulation, barrier removal, and streamlined licensing services are being pursued. Vocational training and internship programs are also being strengthened to meet industry demand for a competent workforce.

Susiwijono added that the policy on Foreign Exchange Proceeds from Natural Resource Exports (DHE SDA) reinforces existing measures. It is intended to strengthen domestic foreign‑exchange liquidity, maintain exchange‑rate stability, increase reserves, and support development financing.

“Our economic fundamentals are actually very strong. If there are currently issues related to investor trust, then we need to work together to explain the actual conditions and build optimism about Indonesia’s economy in the future,” Susiwijono said. ***
