        "summary": "Business activity in Indonesia strengthened in the second quarter of 2026, driven by growth in agriculture, construction, and mining, according to a Bank Indonesia survey. The central bank's weighted net balance rose to 12.97%, although corporate liquidity and profitability declined slightly compared to the previous quarter. The outlook for the third quarter remains positive, supported by sustained domestic demand and ongoing government and private sector projects.",
        "content": "<p>A Bank Indonesia (BI) survey has recorded an increase in business\nactivity during the second quarter of 2026. This is reflected in a\nWeighted Net Balance (SBT) of 12.97 percent, up from 10.11 percent in\nthe previous quarter. BI Executive Director of the Communication\nDepartment, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, stated that the rise in business\nactivity was driven by improved performance in several key sectors.\n\u201cThese include Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries; Construction; and\nMining and Quarrying, in line with their business activities, as well as\nthe Accommodation and Food and Beverage sector, supported by sustained\ndemand during the National Religious Holidays (HBKN) period and the\nschool holiday high season in Q2 2026,\u201d he said in a press release on\nFriday, 17 July 2026. The survey also noted that utilised production\ncapacity increased to 73.80 percent in the second quarter, up from 73.33\npercent in the first quarter. This increase was mainly supported by the\nAgriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries; Mining and Quarrying; and\nElectricity sectors. However, the financial condition of the business\nsector showed a slight decline. The net balance for liquidity fell to\n15.03 percent from 17.05 percent in the previous quarter, while the net\nbalance for profitability decreased to 11.87 percent from 14.87 percent.\nLooking ahead, respondents forecast that business activity will remain\nrobust in the third quarter of 2026, with an expected SBT of 11.75\npercent. The positive outlook is attributed to the performance of the\nProcessing Industry, Wholesale and Retail Trade, and Car and Motorcycle\nRepair sectors, driven by expectations of maintained public demand, as\nwell as the Construction sector, supported by the continuation of\nvarious government and private sector projects.<\/p>",
