<\/p>\ninance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has expressed confidence that Indonesia\u2019s economy can grow by 6 percent in 2026, a target that is notably more ambitious than the government\u2019s current assumption of around 5.4 percent outlined in the 2026 draft state budget (RAPBN).<\/p>\n
Speaking in Jakarta on Wednesday, Purbaya said the stronger growth outlook was supported by improving economic conditions and closer coordination between fiscal and monetary authorities.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur economy will grow better than it is now. In 2026, growth should reach 6 percent. As I have said before, it is not too difficult to achieve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Purbaya acknowledged that economic growth had slowed considerably during the first nine months of 2025. However, he argued that recent policy adjustments had begun to restore momentum.<\/p>\n
He also highlighted stronger coordination between the government and Bank Indonesia (BI), pointing to positive trends in base money (M0) growth as an indication of improving liquidity conditions.<\/p>\n
To support the higher growth target, the government plans to accelerate state spending from the beginning of the year, a strategy often used to provide an early boost to economic activity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
