CNBC Indonesia Applauds Drivers of Indonesian Economy Amidst Global Dynamics
The global economic and political landscape has faced significant dynamics and numerous changes over the past year. Trade wars, geopolitical tensions, supply chain shifts, and the waning strength of the US dollar have all been factors in the changing global landscape.
These changes inevitably bring both positive and negative consequences for Indonesia, presenting a mix of opportunities and challenges. Amidst these global dynamics and the shifting world economic map, many companies have managed to survive and even demonstrate extraordinary performance, showcasing remarkable resilience, creativity, and leadership.
Domestic business leaders have not succumbed to these challenges. They have transformed crises into opportunities and uncertainty into momentum for growth. Amidst a global environment still fraught with uncertainty, the national economy grew resiliently by 5.29% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026, higher than the 5.12% (yoy) recorded in the second quarter of 2025. This growth was driven by strengthening investment, increasing household consumption, and various government policies aimed at maintaining public purchasing power and stimulating economic activity.
To appreciate the role of industry players who help the national economic strength continue to grow, the largest integrated economic media, CNBC Indonesia, is once again hosting its prestigious annual awards ceremony, the CNBC Indonesia Awards 2_026. This award celebrates the optimism of business actors amidst various dynamics.
In the face of ongoing global and domestic challenges, such as global economic uncertainty and climate change, the CNBC Indonesia Awards 2026 will feature inspiring success stories from industry leaders and innovators. Furthermore, key players will provide in-depth analysis of industrial developments across various sectors, including finance, capital markets, healthcare, technology, infrastructure, property, and mining.
It is hoped that these awards will foster a spirit of optimism among industry players and the wider public, motivating them to continue contributing to a new era for Indonesia filled with opportunity and hope.
Prior to the main event, CNBC Indonesia will also present special discussions with industry players as part of the ‘Road to CNBC Indonesia Awards 2026’ series. This event will be featured through flagship programmes from September to November.
