INDONESIA'S ECONOMY GROWS 5.39%, HIGHEST AMONG G20 COUNTRIES: MINISTER
Indonesia’s economy demonstrated robust performance at the end of 2025 and into early 2026, leading the G20 with a 5.39% growth rate in the fourth quarter. This momentum was driven by a strong manufacturing sector (PMI of 52.6) and a surge in domestic consumption, as reflected by a 7.9% annual increase in real sales. Additionally, consumer confidence reached a high of 127 points in January 2026, and the nation secured its 68th consecutive month of trade surplus. Investment also reached a significant milestone, totaling IDR1,931.2 trillion, which reflects sustained business and investor faith in the country's economic direction. Despite these positive indicators, the government is carefully navigating a shift in international sentiment. While major agencies maintain Indonesia's investment-grade rating, Moody’s recently revised its outlook from stable to negative, citing concerns over policy predictability and fiscal risks. This adjustment also affected the outlook for five of the nation’s largest banks. In response, Coordinating Minister Airlangga Hartarto emphasized that the government is preparing proactive policy measures to address these concerns, aiming to maintain macroeconomic stability while leveraging high foreign exchange reserves and solid credit growth.Source: https://en.antaranews.com/news/404094/indonesias-economy-grows-539-highest-among-g20-countries-minister?utm_source=antaranews&utm_medium=desktop&utm_campaign=top_news (ICE GIACARTA)
