REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — A survey by the Adidaya Institute has revealed that three of Prabowo-Gibran’s flagship programmes have the potential to become new engines of economic growth. As many as 43 per cent of expert respondents assessed that the Coastal Village Programme, the Red and White Village/Urban Cooperative Programme, and the construction of 3 million homes have the greatest leverage for the economy.

The survey states that these three programmes are capable of increasing production, absorbing labour, and driving economic activity in the regions. The research involved 72 expert respondents from various professions spread across 12 cities, including Medan, Jakarta, Surabaya, and Makassar.

Economist at the Adidaya Institute, Bramastyo B Prastowo, said that the research results show that these clusters are the main priority in driving economic growth. “The results of the Adidaya Institute’s expert research show that the Coastal Village Programme, the Red and White Village/Urban Cooperative Programme, and the 3 million homes programme are the main engines, with a weighting of 43 per cent,” said Bramastyo in a press release on Wednesday (25 February 2026).

Bramastyo said that the survey aims to map the priorities of Prabowo-Gibran’s eight flagship programmes into three categories: anchor, engine, and stabiliser. “The aim is to determine the main priorities for President Prabowo in implementing the 8 flagship programmes (Big Bang and Big Push),” said Bramastyo.

In the survey, as many as 23.30 per cent of respondents assessed support for an Independent Palestine as an anchor programme. Meanwhile, the People’s School, Free Health Checks, Food Storage, and Free Nutritious Meals programmes are categorised as social stabilisers.

Bramastyo said that the economic growth engine programmes have a large multiplier effect on the economy. “When demand from the housing sector increases and supply from villages is strengthened at the same time, a strong multiplier effect is created,” said Bramastyo.
