The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised Indonesia’s 2026 economic growth forecast to 5.1%, up from its previous estimate, reflecting stronger confidence in the country’s resilience amid global uncertainty. The IMF attributes the improved outlook to robust domestic consumption, stable macroeconomic conditions, and an increasingly attractive investment climate. These upgrades come as Indonesia’s recent economic performance remains steady, with Q3 2025 growth at 5.04% and government expectations centered around 5.0%–5.1% for the full year. Globally, the IMF projects moderate but steady growth of around 3.3% in 2026, supported by reduced trade tensions following a temporary US–China tariff truce, though policy risks linger. The World Bank’s forecasts for Indonesia remain slightly lower at 5.0% for 2026, rising to 5.2% in 2027, backed by government investment and easing monetary conditions. While both institutions highlight downside global risks, the IMF notes that stronger investment, especially in technology and AI, could lift productivity and support higher long-term growth.Source: https://jakartaglobe.id/business/imf-raises-indonesias-2026-growth-forecast-to-51  (ICE GIACARTA)
