Bank Indonesia (BI) remains optimistic about the national economic\noutlook throughout 2026. Although Indonesia\u2019s economic growth in the\nsecond quarter of 2026 slowed compared with the previous quarter, the\ncentral bank projects full-year growth to remain within a positive range\nof 4.9 to 5.7 percent.<\/p>\n
The projection is supported by strong domestic demand, which is\nexpected to continue serving as the main driver of the national economy.\nBank Indonesia also considers policy synergy between the government and\nthe central bank to be an important factor in maintaining economic\ngrowth momentum amid various challenges.<\/p>\n
Bank Indonesia Executive Director Ramdan Denny said Indonesia\u2019s\neconomic growth in the second quarter of 2026 was recorded at 5.29\npercent year on year (yoy). Although lower than the first quarter of\n2026 growth of 5.61 percent (yoy), the figure is still seen as\ndemonstrating the resilience of the domestic economy.<\/p>\n
Bank Indonesia maintains its projection for Indonesia\u2019s overall\neconomic growth in 2026 at a range of 4.9 to 5.7 percent (yoy).<\/p>\n
Ramdan Denny explained that this optimism is based on the prospect of\ncontinued strong domestic demand, supported by various government and\nBank Indonesia policies aimed at maintaining stability while promoting\neconomic growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cBank Indonesia continues to strengthen its policy mix through\nmonetary, macroprudential and payment system policies that work in close\nsynergy with government policies to maintain stability while continuing\nto encourage sustainable economic growth,\u201d said Ramdan Denny on Thursday\n(6\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n
According to him, this policy combination is expected to maintain\nnational economic growth momentum throughout the year even though global\neconomic conditions still face various challenges.<\/p>\n
Bank Indonesia noted that economic growth in the second quarter of\n2026 was still supported by domestic economic activity, particularly\nhousehold consumption and investment.<\/p>\n
From the expenditure side, household consumption grew by 5.06 percent\n(yoy). This growth was driven by increased public activity during the\nschool holiday period and the momentum of National Religious Holidays\n(HBKN).<\/p>\n
In addition to household consumption, government consumption also\nshowed a significant increase. In the second quarter of 2026, government\nconsumption grew by 15.97 percent (yoy).<\/p>\n
This increase was supported by higher realisation of personnel\nspending, including the payment of the 13th salary, as well as spending\non goods and services related to the implementation of the Free\nNutritious Meals Programme (MBG).<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bank-indonesia-projects-ri-economy-to-grow-up-to-5-7-percent-in-2026-despite-q2-slowdown-1785988295", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
