        "content": "<p>Kadin Chairperson Anindya Bakrie said businesses faced various\nchallenges throughout the second quarter of 2026, ranging from\ngeopolitical uncertainty to pressure on the rupiah exchange rate, as\nwell as weakened public purchasing power and rising energy costs.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kadin\u2019s statement received here on Friday, Indonesia is\ncurrently entering a phase of economic transformation from a natural\nresource-based economy to one driven by human resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndonesia is transforming from a natural resource-based economy into\na human resource-based one. Every transition comes with challenges, so\nwe must prepare by improving the quality of our human resources,\u201d Bakrie\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Bakrie said global investors are no longer focused solely on\nIndonesia\u2019s economic potential but are now paying closer attention to\nthe country\u2019s ability to implement its policies.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that Indonesia\u2019s economic fundamentals remain strong\ndespite global challenges. He expressed optimism that the country\u2019s\neconomy would continue to grow at around 5 percent in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInflation also remains under control, and Indonesia\u2019s debt-to-GDP\nratio is among the best in the G20,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, he said businesses need to adapt to the new global\neconomic order, or the \u201cnew equilibrium.\u201d He stressed that the situation\nshould be approached realistically while maintaining optimism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the new equilibrium. Of course, we want the rupiah to\nstrengthen and interest rates to decline, but we also have to look at\nthe situation as it is with a clear head. Usually, after one to three\nyears, when confidence returns, the situation will reverse,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, he urged businesses to continue improving efficiency,\naccelerate technology adoption, preserve jobs, and expand export markets\nby taking advantage of various international trade agreements.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia calls ASEAN states to uphold centrality amid\nglobal tension<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Prabowo meets Luhut to discuss economic resilience amid\nglobal tension<\/p>\n<p>Related news: US-Iran conflict jolts oil supply, Indonesia alerts:\nMinister<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Ahmad, Kenzu<\/p>",
