BI Reveals Secret to Indonesia's Economic Resilience Against Global Economic Turmoil
Bank Indonesia (BI) released Financial Stability Review (KSK) Number 46 on Friday 27 February 2026, providing a comprehensive overview of Indonesia’s economic situation amid global economic uncertainty and volatility.
“In our challenging economic situation, this is a breath of fresh air. Not only does it present factual data, but it also grounds us in reality as we recognise several challenges ahead,” said BI Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti at the Financial Stability Review launch event on Friday 27 February 2026.
BI has routinely released the Financial Stability Review since 2004. This year marks the 46th edition. The publication aims to enhance public understanding of the financial system’s condition and Indonesia’s broader economic outlook amid global economic uncertainty.
“The purpose of launching this Financial Stability Review is to deepen public understanding of Indonesia’s financial system and economic conditions,” Damayanti said.
Damayanti explained that volatile global economic conditions and ongoing geopolitical tensions create uncertainty in global policy frameworks, which will influence Indonesia’s economic trajectory. Synergy has become the key to facing these challenges.
“Thankfully, through various policies implemented and synergy among ministries, institutions, regulators, and all business actors, we have been able to navigate the shocks and fluctuations. In 2025, our economy grew 5.11 per cent, and even in the fourth quarter it grew 5.39 per cent,” she noted.
This economic growth achievement demonstrates clearly that Indonesia can achieve even higher growth going forward. Damayanti stated that BI, as the monetary regulator, is undertaking various measures to strengthen the economy, including macroprudential policy measures.
“Bank Indonesia does not only have monetary policy or payment system policy, but also macroprudential policy that has recently been actively and optimally used to support economic growth,” she explained.
Additional supporting policies implemented by BI to drive economic growth include deepening financial markets and pursuing inclusive and green financing policies. She emphasised that BI’s mandate comprises two elements: pro-stability and pro-growth.
“We work together, in tandem, and aligned to maintain not only economic and financial stability, but also to drive economic growth. As a result, our financial system’s resilience is generally sound and the industry is in good health,” she concluded.
