Purbaya Optimistic That The Economy Grows 5.67 Percent In The Fourth Quarter Of 2025

JAKARTA - Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadive said Indonesia's economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 was estimated at 5.67 percent.

On the other hand, he also responded to the World Bank's projection which estimates that Indonesia's economic growth will not reach 5 percent.

Even so, Purbaya remains optimistic that a 5.67 percent target can be achieved, especially because of the additional stimulus that will be given by the government in the fourth quarter.

"It's the World Bank which says our economy is below 5 percent this year. Our calculation in the fourth quarter is faster than before. He said it was 5.5 percent without additional stimulus. But later, if the additional stimulus will be announced later, it could be (economic growth) 5.67 percent or less in the fourth quarter," he said at the APBNKita press conference, Tuesday, October 14,

Therefore, he emphasized that Indonesia's economic direction will be more positive and the momentum of growth will continue to be maintained in the future.

"The economic direction should be better and if that happens the momentum of growth, we will keep it going forward again, we have moved in a better direction than before," he added.

Lebih lanjut, Purbaya menjelaskan, perekonomian nasional menunjukkan tanda-tanda pemulihan, salah satunya yaitu indikator peningkatan belanja masyarakat untuk konsumsi yang mencapai 75,1 persen pada September 2025.

Selain itu, ia mengaitkan, hal ini dengan kebijakan pemerintah yang menempatkan dana sebesar Rp200 triliun ke Himpunan Bank Milik Negara (Himbara).

"Tadi kan kita lihat sudah ada perbaikan konsumsi masyarakat di September sedikit. Kan kita mulai inject ke sistem, uangnya September," katanya.

Furthermore, Purbaya explained, the national economy shows signs of recovery, one of which is an indicator of increasing public spending for consumption which reached 75.1 percent in September 2025.

In addition, he linked this with the government policy which placed Rp200 trillion in funds to the Association of State-Owned Banks (Himbara).

"Earlier, we saw that there had been a slight improvement in public consumption in September. We started injecting into the system, the money was in September," he said.
