BI: DIY Economic Growth Quarter III 2025 Exceeds National

JAKARTA - Head of the Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) Bank Indonesia (BI) Representative Office Sri Darmadi Sudibyo said DIY's economic growth in the third quarter of 2025 reached 5.40 percent year-on-year (yoy), surpassing the national growth of 5.04 percent (yoy).

"The DIY economy recorded the highest growth in Java and higher than the national area, which grew 5.17 percent (yoy) and 5.04 percent (yoy)," Sri Darmadi said in a statement in Yogyakarta, Friday, November 7.

This growth, said Sri Darmadi, was slightly moderated compared to the previous quarter which grew 5.49 percent (yoy).

In terms of business fields, the DIY economy is mainly supported by the manufacturing, construction and agriculture industries.

According to him, the manufacturing industry's business fields grew 5.07 percent (yoy) in the third quarter of 2025, driven by the performance of the food and beverage industry as tourist visits increased during the school holiday period.

"However, the number of holidays and collective leave that were not as much as the same period in the previous year caused the performance of the processing industry to not be as good as the previous quarter," he said.

Meanwhile, the construction business field grew 8.77 percent (yoy), slowing down compared to 9.38 percent (yoy) in the second quarter of 2025.

Construction performance, he said, was supported by the construction of a number of physical infrastructures that were still ongoing, including the Yogya-Solo Toll Road project, the Yogya-Bawen Toll Road, the construction of the DIY DPRD building, school revitalization, and improvement of road infrastructure.

"The realization of physical development in the third quarter was slightly restrained due to weather factors (rainy seasons), but the deeper decline was restrained by the growth of agricultural business fields," said Sri Darmadi.

Next, agricultural business fields in the same period grew 6.08 percent (yoy), a significant increase compared to the second quarter of 2025 which had contracted 0.81 percent (yoy). The increase was mainly supported by an increase in food crop production.

In terms of demand, continued Sri Darmadi, DIY's economic growth was supported by household consumption, gross fixed capital (PMTB), and government spending.

Household consumption performance grew 4.29 percent (yoy), driven by public spending on food, transportation, and recreation during the school holiday period.

Meanwhile, PMTB's performance grew 10.42 percent (yoy), higher than the previous quarter of 8.23 percent (yoy).

He assessed that the increase in investment was in line with infrastructure development and an additional budget of IDR 307.28 billion from the DIY APBN for the Free Nutrition Food (MBG) program.

"Investment growth is also supported by an increase in the realization of government capital expenditures," said Sri Darmadi.

Meanwhile, government consumption grew slowly by 0.40 percent (yoy) in line with budget efficiency policies, while exports and imports contracted 0.99 percent and 0.90 percent (yoy), respectively, mainly influenced by a decrease in furniture exports by 18.53 percent (yoy).

Sri Darmadi predicts DIY's economic growth throughout 2025 will remain positive in the range of 4.8-5.6 percent (yoy).

However, various global and domestic challenges need to be anticipated so that economic growth remains quality and sustainable.

"Synergy and collaboration between local governments, Bank Indonesia, and other relevant agencies will continue to be strengthened in order to maintain DIY's economic growth," said Sri Darmadi Sudibyo.
