President Prabowo Subianto has asked ministries to accelerate\nnational exports towards the end of 2026. Businesses across all sectors,\nincluding manufacturing, will be encouraged to strengthen export\nperformance, while obstacles will be removed by a task force appointed\nby the President.<\/p>\n
Co-ordinating Economic Affairs Minister Airlangga Hartarto said the\ndirective was among the issues discussed when the economic team met\nPrabowo at the State Palace in Jakarta on Monday (19 October 2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cExports will be boosted across all sectors, including manufacturing.\nWe will remove anything that could hold back exports through the\ndebottlenecking process assigned to the task force by the President,\u201d\nAirlangga said at a press briefing.<\/p>\n
Airlangga said the meeting also covered the state of the national\neconomy ahead of the end of the year and included a review of the first\ntwo years of Prabowo\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, the President called in the economic team, primarily to\nreceive an update on the economic situation ahead of the end of the\nyear, and also in connection with the second anniversary of President\nPrabowo\u2019s administration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The government reviewed several key economic indicators, including\neconomic growth, inflation, macroeconomic conditions in the banking\nsector and investment realisation.<\/p>\n
Airlangga said the national economy remained relatively stable.\nHowever, the government was continuing efforts to sustain growth\nmomentum through stronger cross-sector co-ordination and improved\nperformance in productive sectors.<\/p>\n
Strengthening exports is one of the government\u2019s priorities as it\nseeks to expand markets for Indonesian products amid shifting global\neconomic conditions. Manufacturing is also in focus because of its\npotential to increase the contribution of domestic production to\ninternational trade.<\/p>\n
The government will identify and address obstacles that could impede\nexport activity. Through the debottlenecking process, the task force\nappointed by the President is expected to resolve these issues in a more\ntargeted manner.<\/p>\n
The government hopes export growth can go hand in hand with\nmacroeconomic stability, preserving national growth momentum through the\nend of the year.<\/p>\n
