Indonesia’s economic growth maintained a solid performance throughout 2025, achieving 5.11%, far exceeding the global average growth of around 2.6% to 3.3%, according to records from the IMF, OECD, and World Bank. This achievement positions Indonesia as one of the countries with the highest growth in the G20 group. Meanwhile, the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has warned that prolonged disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a global food catastrophe. This is due to the interruption of energy and fertiliser shipments, which are crucial for agricultural production.
