Prabowo Emphasises the Importance of the Indonesia Incorporated Spirit
“My strategy is Indonesia Incorporated. The large, the strong, the medium, the small, the disadvantaged — all working together. The large advance and pull along the less strong. The strong pull along the weak,” said President Prabowo.
President Prabowo expressed his conviction that only through the cooperation of all groups — involving not just the Government but all components of the nation — will Indonesia rise to become a country capable of standing on its own feet (berdikari) and delivering prosperity for its people.
On several occasions, President Prabowo has stressed the importance of the Indonesia Incorporated spirit, meaning there must be close collaboration amongst all parties — between the Government, the business community, and all stakeholders — in order to continually strengthen national competitiveness, accelerate development, and drive economic growth.
This is aimed at building a better life for the people and realising public prosperity and welfare.
“A clean and just Government that helps the weakest and the poorest. We rise together. Indonesia, God willing, will not merely be a sleeping giant — we must rise to become a giant capable of standing and building a better life for its people,” he said.
In closing his address, President Prabowo firmly stated that Indonesia’s political stability is very sound, and expressed strong confidence that Indonesia will rise again in the future.
“I believe we can maintain political stability in Indonesia firmly and well. We safeguard security for all. We respect all agreements established by Indonesia as a Government. We have an outstanding track record — Indonesia has never defaulted in our history. We have always respected all agreements of previous Governments. We are open to investment from anywhere, and we are confident that we will rise convincingly,” President Prabowo said in closing his address at the Indonesia Economic Outlook 2026 event.
In line with this, Coordinating Minister Airlangga, in presenting his report at the forum, outlined the improving quality of Indonesia’s economic growth.
“Our economic growth is accompanied by continually improving social indicators. The poverty rate and Gini ratio are on a downward trend. Open unemployment is also on a continued downward trend, and the number of employed people continues to rise,” said Airlangga.
Airlangga explained that over recent years the poverty rate has continued to decline, reaching 8.25 per cent or approximately 23.36 million people in September 2025. This represents a significant improvement compared to March 2021, when it stood at 10.14 per cent or the equivalent of 27.54 million people.
