RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The Indonesian government is intensifying economic diplomacy with the United States to reassure global investors about the country’s fiscal outlook. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa led a series of strategic meetings in New York and Washington, D.C., aimed at strengthening confidence in Indonesia’s macroeconomic fundamentals.
During the meetings, Minister Purbaya outlined Indonesia’s fiscal strategy and economic conditions to major U.S. investors, including BlackRock, HSBC Global Asset Management, Lazard Asset Management, Lord Abbett, and TD Asset Management.
“We explained our economic conditions and future fiscal strategy, so they are confident that our fiscal policies are on the right track. They intend to invest in Indonesia, and we provided clarifications to dispel doubts,” Minister Purbaya said at the Peninsula Hotel in New York on Monday, April 13, 2026, as quoted by Infopublik.
He emphasized that investors do not question Indonesia’s economic foundations but seek clarity on emerging issues. After receiving explanations, they accepted that Indonesia’s fiscal policies remain consistent with sound economic principles.
Some investors, however, advised the government to strengthen communication, noting that international rating agencies had been too quick to issue a negative outlook without comprehensive data.
Minister Purbaya stressed that consistent policy implementation is key to maintaining investor confidence. He added that if Indonesia’s economy grows by around 5.5 percent in the first quarter and remains strong in subsequent quarters, foreign investment flows are expected to increase further. “We will continue to ensure that economic growth aligns with State Budget (APBN) targets. The focus is on implementing policies as designed,” he said. ***
