        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Finance has affirmed that it will\nmaintain a healthy debt ratio amid escalating global pressures,\nincluding the rise in world oil prices and geopolitical turmoil in the\nMiddle East region. \u201cAmid these pressures, including the increase in\nglobal oil prices, Indonesia is stronger than its peer countries. From a\nfiscal perspective, we are maintaining a prudent deficit, still below 3\nper cent. The debt ratio is also kept below 60 per cent,\u201d stated Noor\nFaisal Achmad, Director of Economic Stabilisation Strategy at the\nMinistry of Finance. At the Central Banking Forum 2026 in Jakarta on\nMonday, he generally noted that Indonesia currently holds a relatively\nstronger position compared to peer nations. This is evident from the\nhigh economic growth rate, inflation that remains controlled, and fiscal\nconditions that are deemed stable. Nevertheless, he underscored that a\nhealthy fiscal space is a crucial factor, particularly when global\nenergy prices rise and exert pressure on the economy. With strong fiscal\nmanagement, the Ministry of Finance believes Indonesia has greater\ncapacity to mitigate the impacts of external shocks without disrupting\nthe credibility of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN). The\ngovernment assures that it will continue to monitor global developments\nand prepare mitigation steps if pressures intensify. The prepared\nmeasures include budget and programme efficiencies, as well as efforts\nto boost state revenues to ensure fiscal resilience remains intact.<\/p>",
