Government Assures Economic Stability Amid Global Pressures

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The Indonesian government assured national economic stability remains intact despite rising global geopolitical tensions and market volatility. Spokesperson for the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs ,Haryo Limanseto, made the statement in Jakarta on Thursday, March 26, 2026.

“We respect various views from the public, and we would like to add that the government ensures Indonesia’s economic fundamentals remain strong and resilient, supported by several key factors,” Haryo said. He stressed that public input remains important while maintaining confidence in national economic conditions.

He also explained that macroeconomic stability remains well maintained with steady economic performance indicators. Indonesia’s economic growth reached 5.11 percent year-on-year in 2025, relatively high compared with peer countries.

As quoted by the ministry's press release, inflation remains within the target range of 2.5 plus minus one percent set by authorities. The government continuously maintains stability through inflation control and price stabilization policies across sectors.

Meanwhile, domestic demand continues supporting economic growth, driven mainly by strong household consumption and fiscal stimulus programs. Manufacturing activity also shows strong performance with Purchasing Managers’ Index reaching 53.8 in expansion phase.

Fiscal resilience remains solid supported by strong state budget performance and increasing tax revenues. By February 2026, tax revenue grew 30.4 percent year-on-year supported by tax reform and digitalization systems.

Then, national food and energy resilience was getting stronger. This was seen from self-sufficiency in some main food commodity and surplus in energy production via biodiesel program.

This situation was deemed an important support in facing global turmoil, including impacts from geopolitic conflicts. “We will continue to maintain stability and ensure policies remain adaptive to global developments, so that the national economy continues to grow positively and sustainably,” Haryo Limanseto said.
