JAKARTA, Investortrust.id — Indonesia’s consumer confidence has strengthened to its highest level in six months, with the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) reaching 121.2 in October 2025, according to the latest survey from Bank Indonesia.
The central bank said the improvement reflects growing optimism among households across all spending brackets, particularly those earning above Rp 5 million, supported by stronger expectations for income, employment, and overall economic conditions.
Bank Indonesia, in its official report released Monday, noted that both the Current Economic Condition Index (IKE) and Consumer Expectation Index (IEK) contributed to the rise, registering 109.1 and 133.4 respectively. “The stronger consumer confidence in October 2025 was supported by an improvement in both current economic conditions and consumer expectations,” the report stated.
Confidence rose across all five spending groups. Households with monthly spending of Rp 1–2 million saw their CCI increase from 105.5 in September to 116.9 in October, while the Rp 2.1–3 million group improved from 104.2 to 110.9. The Rp 3.1–4 million category rose from 109.1 to 117.1, and those in the Rp 4.1–5 million bracket climbed to 120.4. The highest optimism came from consumers spending more than Rp 5 million a month, with an index of 125.3.
The Current Economic Condition Index strengthened across all components. The Income Index reached 117.1, the Durable Goods Purchasing Index stood at 107.5, and the Job Availability Index improved to 102.6 — all higher than the previous month’s respective readings of 112.9, 103.2, and 92.0.
Respondents’ perception of job availability rose across all education and age groups. Postgraduate respondents recorded the highest job confidence index, while those with a high school education posted the sharpest improvement, though still below the optimism threshold at 98.2.
Consumers also expressed greater optimism about the economic outlook for the next six months. The Consumer Expectation Index rose to 133.4 in October from 127.2 in September, driven by improvements in all three components: income expectations (up to 138.4 from 134.3), job availability expectations (up to 132.0 from 123.1), and business activity expectations (up to 129.6 from 124.2).
