        "summary": "KMHDI welcomed the government's macroeconomic framework and the 2027 fiscal policy guidelines (KEM-PPKF) announced by President Prabowo Subianto, praising a policy direction aimed at stabilising the economy and realising national self-sufficiency. The group highlighted inflation under control, a long-running trade surplus, and robust foreign exchange reserves, while endorsing eight national priority clusters and greater public involvement in development. The President's speech was framed as not only about growth figures but also about improving livelihoods for farmers, fishermen, teachers, MSMEs, and Indonesia's youth.",
        "content": "<p>KMHDI welcomed the presentation of the Macro-Economic Framework and\nthe Core Principles of Fiscal Policy (KEM-PPKF) for 2027 by President\nPrabowo Subianto, saying the fiscal policy direction demonstrates a\nstrong commitment to stabilising the national economy while realising\nnational self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Wayan Ardi Adnyana, chairman of KMHDI\u2019s central leadership, stated\nthat the policies prioritise the state budget (APBN) as a strategic\ninstrument to protect citizens and promote social welfare, in line with\nArticle 33 of the 1945 Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In the face of global geopolitical pressures, trade wars and\neconomic uncertainty, Indonesia remains able to maintain its\nfundamentals well. This is reflected in inflation controlled at 2.42%, a\ntrade surplus for 71 consecutive months, and foreign exchange reserves\nof USD 146.2 billion,\u2019 Ardi told reporters on Friday (22 May 2026).<\/p>\n<p>KMHDI also highlighted Indonesia\u2019s economic growth reaching 5.61% in\nQ1 2026, a figure higher than the average of several G20 members.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ardi, this growth performance demonstrates that domestic\neconomic stability has a solid foundation to pursue the next growth\ntarget, projected to be around 5.8% to 6.5% in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the student organization expressed support for the\ngovernment\u2019s focus on eight national priority clusters: health,\neducation, downstreaming and industrialisation, energy and water\nindependence, food sovereignty, poverty reduction, people\u2019s economy and\nrural areas, and infrastructure and housing development.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We see the government beginning to place human development, farmers\u2019\nwelfare, strengthening MSMEs, and the creation of formal employment as\nthe main priorities of national development. This is the right direction\nto prepare the younger generation to face the country\u2019s future,\u2019 Ardi\nadded.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, KMHDI commended the government\u2019s commitment to\nsafeguarding health and the sustainability of the APBN through\noptimising state revenue, efficient productive spending, and prudent\nfinancing management.<\/p>\n<p>As a cadre organisation, KMHDI emphasised the importance of public\ninvolvement to continuously oversee the course of national development\nso that the principle of social justice can be felt by all segments of\nsociety, especially small-scale economic players.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The President\u2019s speech is not only about economic growth figures but\nalso about hope for farmers, fishers, teachers, MSMEs, and Indonesia\u2019s\nyouth. Therefore, all elements of the nation must work together to guard\nthe national development agenda to realise a sovereign, just, and\nprosperous Indonesia,\u2019 Ardi concluded.<\/p>",
