Video: Indonesian Parliament Assures Investors No Need to Worry About State Budget Deficit Below 3%

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The Chair of Commission XI of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Mukhamad Misbakhun, conveyed the outcomes of the Indonesian government’s meeting with rating agencies and investors during the IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings 2026 in Washington DC, from 13-18 April 2026. This step aims to strengthen international confidence in the continuity of fiscal policy and the commitment to upholding joint rules. It is implemented by keeping the fiscal deficit at 3% and the debt ratio below 60% of GDP, as well as the government’s decision not to increase subsidised fuel prices to maintain inflation, purchasing power for the lower classes, and Indonesia’s economic growth. Misbakhun also assured the fiscal resilience in executing the government’s priority programmes, from MBG to Merah Putih Village/Urban Village Cooperatives, while promoting targeted subsidies to maximally drive the people’s economy.
