The country’s focus on infrastructure development and economic diversification has also played a significant role in boosting its economic outlook.

In the coming years, the IMF predicts that Indonesia’s economy will continue to grow at a rate of 5.1% annually. This is a strong growth projection, especially compared to the global economic growth forecast, which is expected to remain below historical averages in 2025 and 2026.

Airlangga Hartarto, Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, expressed pride in the country’s economic performance, noting that Indonesia’s GDP now outperforms nations like Italy and France. He emphasized the importance of maintaining this growth trajectory while ensuring the stability of the Indonesian economy.

Despite challenges posed by global geopolitical tensions and economic slowdowns, Indonesia’s strong economic fundamentals are expected to help it maintain steady growth. The government’s continued focus on investment, innovation, and infrastructure development will be critical as Indonesia seeks to further solidify its position as a major global economic player.
