Market Confidence in Indonesia Remains Strong Amid Government Deregulation Push

State Secretary Minister (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi has outlined a series of strategic government measures to strengthen public confidence. These steps are focused on providing guarantees of legal certainty and ease of doing business for entrepreneurs. “The President (Prabowo Subianto) also re-emphasised several points which, in our opinion, are part of our efforts to provide confidence to economic actors, which will ultimately give confidence to the public,” Prasetyo said during a press conference at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on Monday, 15 June 2026. Prasetyo stated that in his directives, Prabowo underscored the importance of accelerating deregulation to cut bureaucracy and simplify licensing. This innovative step is considered crucial so that the investment climate in the country can develop more fruitfully and make the national economic ecosystem far more competitive on the global stage. In addition to deregulation, the head of state also gave special instructions regarding the acceleration of downstream processing and industrialisation to the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM and CEO of Danantara, Rosan Roeslani. Prasetyo added that the strengthening of the rupiah exchange rate cannot be separated from export-import performance, which is strongly supported by value-added products resulting from domestic downstream processing. “Ultimately, we hope that the products we produce from the downstream processing and industrialisation process can provide added value that brings additional wealth to our nation and state,” Prasetyo added. Given that stability is a main pillar of the business climate, the government is openly inviting all levels of society, market players, and investors to work together to strengthen the national economic fundamentals. “Let us all, to the entire community, to all market players, to all economic actors, join hands and work together, work hard to restore or recover and strengthen our economy,” Prasetyo asserted. Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/CEO of Danantara, Rosan Roeslani, stated that international market confidence in Indonesia remains at a very strong level. This is evidenced by the success of PT Danantara Investment Management (DIM), which successfully issued its inaugural international bond (global bond) worth USD 1.5 billion. The issuance of this global financial instrument recorded extraordinary demand from international financial markets. The peak orderbook value was reported to have reached approximately USD 4.6 billion, or experienced oversubscription of more than three times the total issuance value. “This also proves that investor confidence in Indonesia is high, and this is proven and real,” said Rosan.
