The Indonesian government has launched an IDR 26.34 trillion economic stimulus package for the second half of 2026 under President Prabowo Subianto’s direction. The policy aims to protect the domestic economy from global uncertainty, control inflation, and boost growth across key sectors. A major component includes cutting import duties to 0% on essential industrial inputs such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), plastic raw materials, and aircraft parts. These measures are expected to reduce production costs—saving industries an estimated IDR 2.25 trillion—while supporting inflation control and strengthening competitiveness, especially in the petrochemical and aviation Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) sectors. In addition to industrial support, the stimulus package also provides social and economic assistance. It includes tax reductions for writers, food aid programs, subsidies for local soybean farmers producing staples like tofu and tempeh, and funding for national vocational internships. The government is also offering public transportation discounts during major holidays to help ease household expenses. Overall, the package combines industrial incentives with social support to maintain economic stability and encourage broader growth.Source: https://rri.co.id/en/business/2513082/indonesian-government-removes-import-charges-on-three-industrial-commodities (ICE GIACARTA)
