“In line with President Prabowo Subianto’s direction, Kadin reaffirmed its commitment to continue working collectively under the spirit of Indonesia Incorporated to drive national economic growth, expand employment opportunities, and improve public welfare,” the statement said.

Indonesia Economy on the Right Track

Earlier, Anindya Bakrie said Indonesia’s economy remains on the right track despite global economic slowdown and uncertainty.

He noted that global economic growth is projected at around 3 percent, underscoring Indonesia’s relatively stronger position with growth potential above 5 percent.

“Global growth, based on what I read earlier this year before the turbulence in Venezuela, was projected at 3 percent. For Indonesia to talk about figures above 5 percent reflects confidence,” Anindya said on Thursday, Jan 15, 2026 at the Kadin Indonesia Tower in Jakarta.

According to him, that confidence is supported by continued trade growth through the third and fourth quarters of 2025 and steady inflows of foreign direct investment.

For 2026, some forecasts place Indonesia’s economic growth at 5.2 percent. Anindya, however, sees room for higher growth of up to 5.4 percent, provided key components perform optimally.

“I think it could reach closer to 5.4 percent, but the components must truly work,” he said.

The first component highlighted was domestic consumption. Anindya stressed the need for more productive and effective government spending so that its impact reaches regional areas, particularly those affected by budget efficiency measures in 2025.

The second component was trade. He said existing trade opportunities should be fully utilized, as positive trade momentum provides room for continued export and import growth.

“Even if there are adjustments in the United States, there are alternatives,” he said.

Investment was cited as the third crucial factor. Anindya emphasized that the investment climate must remain conducive, with government spending continuing to act as an economic driver.

He added that social and productive government programs, including free nutritious meals, fishermen village development, Merah Putih village cooperatives, and affordable housing, must be implemented effectively.

“Government spending must truly flow and involve real sector businesses so that the impact on economic growth is tangible,” he said.
