Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia is shifting its development focus from maintaining stability toward more productive, value-added growth that creates high-quality jobs, Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said.In a statement issued on Monday, he said the transformation is driven by three main pillars: investment, industrialization, and productivity.”We are promoting downstream industries, strengthening the manufacturing sector, and enhancing human resources and efficiency,” he said. “Going forward, Indonesia's growth will not only be stable but also more productive and sustainable, as well as more diversified and resilient.”Purbaya made the remarks during the IMF–World Bank Spring Meetings held in Washington, D.C., from April 13–17.He added that Indonesia's economic performance remains relatively strong compared with other G20 and developing countries, supported by solid growth, low inflation, and well-managed deficit and debt ratios.This resilience is supported by the state budget's role as a shock absorber in protecting purchasing power. The government has also kept the budget deficit below 3 percent of GDP.”Indonesia will strengthen fiscal and monetary policy coordination while leveraging the role of [sovereign wealth fund] Danantara to mobilize investment beyond the state budget,” he said.During the IMFC Restricted Breakfast Meeting, he also expressed optimism that Indonesia's economy could reach 5.4–6 percent growth in 2026 despite global tensions.The outlook is supported by solid economic fundamentals. While many countries are experiencing a slowdown, Indonesia's economy grew 5.11 percent in 2025.Indonesia also recorded a trade surplus of US$1.27 billion in February 2026, extending its surplus streak to 70 consecutive months.The performance is backed by strong household consumption, controlled inflation, a well-managed fiscal deficit, a low debt-to-GDP ratio, and continued downstreaming policies.However, he emphasized that the government remains vigilant about global developments, including tensions in the Middle East that could affect energy prices.In response, the government is prioritizing fiscal buffers to cushion price shocks and ensure the stability of subsidized fuel prices to protect purchasing power.The government will also continue to improve spending efficiency and accelerate long-term structural transformation, including by strengthening downstreaming programs.
