        "summary": "Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has stated that key indicators point to robust and inclusive economic growth in Indonesia.

The minister also noted that this growth is translating into tangible welfare improvements, with significant job creation and a reduction in both unemployment and poverty rates.",
        "content": "<p>Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has said a number of key\nindicators show Indonesia\u2019s economic growth is continuing to strengthen\nand move inclusively. According to him, this is reflected in the\nmanufacturing Purchasing Managers\u2019 Index (PMI), which is at an\nexpansionary level of 50.0. He also cited economic liquidity growth (M0)\nof 14.8 per cent year-on-year, and banking credit growth of 11.5 per\ncent year-on-year.<\/p>\n<p>Purbaya made the statement while delivering a scientific address at a\npublic lecture at Nankai University in Tianjin, China. \u201cMost crucially,\nthis solid economic growth is directly translated into an improvement in\nthe real welfare of the wider community through improvements in the\nlabour market,\u201d Purbaya said in an official statement on Saturday, 20\nJune 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Purbaya said Indonesia\u2019s external position is also supported by a\ntrade balance surplus that has persisted for 72 consecutive months, as\nwell as foreign exchange reserves of US$144.9 billion, equivalent to 5.6\nmonths of imports and government external debt payments.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the strong economic growth is also reflected in the\nimprovement of the labour market. The creation of approximately 1.9\nmillion new jobs successfully reduced the open unemployment rate to 4.68\nper cent in 2026. Meanwhile, the poverty rate fell from 8.57 per cent in\nSeptember 2024 to 8.25 per cent in September 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Purbaya also explained that the government has established eight\nclusters of national priority programmes to translate development\nstrategy into tangible results. These priorities encompass food\nsovereignty, energy and water self-sufficiency, education, health, as\nwell as infrastructure development, housing, and disaster\nresilience.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Indonesian government is accelerating structural\ntransformation through downstreaming and industrialisation programmes,\nstrengthening the people\u2019s economy and rural development, and\nalleviating poverty through integrated social assistance and job\ncreation.<\/p>\n<p>These efforts are supported by strengthening the defence and security\nsector, law enforcement, governance, digitalisation, and economic\ndiplomacy to support inclusive and sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>According to Purbaya, these developments show that Indonesia\u2019s\neconomic growth is not only reflected in macroeconomic indicators but is\nalso impacting job creation, reducing poverty rates, and improving\npeople\u2019s welfare.<\/p>",
