Prabowo stated that his administration had been in office for 21 months, or 663 days, producing 121 transformative policies. He also revealed various figures regarding investment, economic growth, BUMN profits, foreign exchange savings, export supervision, village development, and programmes that directly impact the public.

Here are the main topics summarising the most important points from Prabowo’s speech. All figures and achievements below are statements delivered by Prabowo in his address.

1. Governance

The Prabowo-Gibran administration has been running for 21 months or 663 days. During this period, the government reportedly produced 121 transformative policies, averaging one policy every five days. The government’s four guiding principles are implementing the 1945 Constitution, protecting vital national interests, resolving the people’s difficulties, and prioritising future generations. Prabowo acknowledged that not all of the nation’s problems and government promises have been resolved. The government chose to make difficult decisions now rather than bequeath heavier problems. Development cannot be undertaken by the president alone but requires mutual cooperation from all state institutions and society.

2. State Institutions

The DPR, together with the government, completed and enacted 13 draft laws up to July 2026, including the Domestic Worker Protection Law. The DPD gathered 10,883 aspirations from 38 provinces as input for the 2027 Government Work Plan. The Supreme Court handled 38,148 cases and decided 37,973 cases with a productivity rate of 99.54%. A total of 96.74% of cases were resolved in less than three months. The Constitutional Court handled 701 cases and decided 598 cases. As of 23 July 2026, 84.51% of applications were submitted online. BPK audits reportedly saved state finances amounting to Rp112 trillion. The BPK was also elected as Chair of INTOSAI for the 2028-2031 period. The Judicial Commission proposed sanctions for 121 judges. The income of junior judges was increased by 280%, but Prabowo stressed that judicial independence must still be accompanied by accountability. A total of 313 regencies and cities now have Public Service Malls providing up to 150 types of services.

3. Economy

Investment throughout 2025 reportedly reached Rp1,931 trillion, creating more than 2.7 million jobs. Investment in the first half of 2026 reached Rp1,010 trillion, creating more than 1.4 million jobs. The economy grew by 5.61% in the first quarter of 2026 and 5.45% in the first half of 2026. This figure is claimed to be the highest first-quarter and first-half growth in 13 years. Prabowo asserted that growth is not the ultimate goal; every investment must generate jobs and improve people’s welfare. The government is also building a Carbon Unit Registry System and a carbon economic value exchange based on international standards.

4. Food

Indonesia claimed to have achieved food self-sufficiency within one year, faster than the initial target of four to five years. Eight commodities declared self-sufficient are rice, maize, consumption sugar, chicken meat, eggs, shallots, large chillies, and bird’s eye chillies. The government is still pursuing self-sufficiency in garlic, soybeans, beef, and buffalo. For protein sources, Indonesia reportedly achieved self-sufficiency in fish, eggs, and chicken meat. A total of 145 regulations on fertiliser distribution were abolished. Fertiliser prices fell by 20%, while the profit of Pupuk Indonesia rose by 252.8%. State-owned food enterprises, cooperatives, farmers, extension workers, regional governments, the TNI, and Polri reportedly contributed to this achievement.

5. Energy

Indonesia reportedly no longer imports diesel fuel as of 1 July 2026. The cessation of imports is supported by B50 biodiesel production. The policy is estimated to save foreign exchange of Rp170 trillion or US$9.5 billion per year. B50 is positioned as an initial step towards energy self-sufficiency while reducing foreign exchange sent abroad.

6. State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN)

Prabowo stressed that BUMN belong to all Indonesian people, not to directors or commissioners, and are not a source of funds for rulers. In this speech, Prabowo mentioned there were 1,074 BUMN including their subsidiaries and sub-subsidiaries. Many were deemed unproductive and had too many layers of directors and commissioners. A total of 290 companies have been closed. The number of BUMN is targeted to be a maximum of 300 by the end of 2026. Prabowo said that overall, more than 750 entities will be closed. The restructuring resulted in overhead savings of approximately Rp50 trillion per year. Funds are redirected to investment, industrialisation, services, and the people’s interests. BUMN profits increased from Rp186 trillion in 2024 to Rp326 trillion in 2025, a growth of 75.3%. Dividends increased from Rp85.5 trillion to Rp142.3 trillion. After deducting state capital injections (PMN), net dividends rose from Rp53 trillion to Rp138 trillion. Dividends for 2026 are projected to reach Rp200 trillion without additional PMN. In direct remarks, Prabowo mentioned a savings target of Rp70 trillion. He also discussed the idea of an ad hoc court and the possibility of amnesty for managers who confess and return state losses. This part is not yet a decided policy.

7. Danantara

Pegadaian together with Bank Syariah Indonesia manages 153 tonnes of gold worth approximately Rp360 trillion or US$20 billion. The government wants Indonesian gold not only to be mined but also stored, traded, and to provide added value domestically. PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia, or DSI, began operations on 1 June 2026.
