Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia's Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa expressed optimism that the country could achieve economic growth of 5.4 to 6 percent in 2026, despite ongoing global tensions.Speaking at the IMFC Restricted Breakfast Meeting, as quoted in an official statement on Monday, he said the target remains achievable, supported by a solid national economic base.He noted that while many countries are experiencing a slowdown, Indonesia's economy remained resilient, growing 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.Purbaya said the country's strong domestic economy is supported by robust household consumption, stable growth, controlled inflation, a well-managed fiscal deficit, a low debt-to-GDP ratio, and continued downstreaming policies.He added that the government remains vigilant about geopolitical developments in the Middle East and their potential impact on global energy prices.The government has prioritized building fiscal buffers to absorb price shocks and ensure the stability of subsidized fuel prices to protect purchasing power.Policy responses also include improving state spending efficiency and accelerating long-term structural transformation through downstreaming initiatives.He emphasized that the government remains committed to maintaining economic stability while advancing structural transformation toward a high-income economy.He said consistent reforms, prudent fiscal management, and stronger investment are key to navigating global uncertainty and sustaining economic growth.He added that the IMF has described Indonesia as a “bright spot” in the global economy due to its strong fundamentals.
