BI Governor Confident Indonesia's Economy to Grow up to 5.7% in 2026, Check the Indicators

Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo projects that the national economy in 2026 could grow in the range of 4.9-5.7 per cent.

In the Announcement of the April 2026 Board of Governors Meeting Results, Perry assured that BI will continue to strengthen its policy mix through monetary policy, macroprudential measures, and payment systems that synergise closely with government policies.

“To maintain stability while still supporting economic growth,” said Perry during a teleconference press briefing on Wednesday, 22 April 2026.

He added that economic growth needs to be continuously encouraged to remain strong, amidst the deteriorating global economic conditions and prospects. Various recent indicators show that economic growth in the first quarter of 2026 has increased, supported by domestic demand.

Household consumption rose, supported by the confidence of economic actors and maintained income conditions, as well as increased demand during the Idul Fitri 1447 H National Religious Holiday celebrations.

There is also rising government spending in line with the provision of Holiday Allowances (THR), and increases in social spending along with various other incentives, including transfers to regions.

From the investment side, particularly in construction, Perry assured that its growth remains good, mainly driven by the acceleration of investments related to various government priority programmes.

Looking ahead, Perry continued, various government and BI policies are deemed necessary to be continuously strengthened amid the declining global economic prospects.

Various policy responses are strengthened to mitigate the impact of the global economic slowdown and to encourage sources of economic growth from domestic demand.

“In this regard, various government priority programmes to absorb labour, increase domestic demand, and continue to strengthen fiscal resilience are being carried out,” said Perry.
