        "summary": "The Indonesian government anticipates that the 2026 Eid al-Fitr homecoming period will significantly enhance national economic circulation by stimulating spending that benefits MSMEs, traders, and transportation sectors. A 2023 study by Statistics Indonesia indicated that such activities contributed 1.5 percent to annual economic growth, with household consumption rising 15-20 percent and regional MSME incomes increasing up to 50-70 percent during Eid. Supported by fiscal stimuli exceeding Rp12.8 trillion, social assistance, and fare discounts, this momentum is projected to drive inclusive and sustainable growth towards the 5.5-5.6 percent annual target.",
