JAKARTA - The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported that Indonesia's economy throughout 2025 grew by 5.11 percent or higher than the economic growth in 2024 which was recorded at 5.03 percent.

Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti said that the value of Indonesia's gross domestic product (GDP) for 2025 on the basis of prevailing prices reached Rp23,821.1 trillion, while on the basis of constant prices of Rp13,580.5 trillion.

"Cumulatively, Indonesia's economy throughout 2025 grew by 5.11 percent," he said in a press conference, Thursday, February 5.

Previously, Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa estimated that the national economic growth in 2025 would be in the range of 5 percent to 5.2 percent.

"(Economic growth in 2025) 5, how much, approaching 5.2 or 5.15, that's it," he told the media, Tuesday, February 3.

Responding to the possibility that the realization is below the 2025 State Budget, Purbaya stated that it is still possible.

However, he emphasized that he could not confirm the exact number because the official data had not been released.

"There is a possibility. We'll see, I don't know the numbers have not come out, right? If you guess it, we are 5.2. But we don't know. Later it will be wrong again. So I don't intervene in BPS. I don't know," he explained.

For information, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) is scheduled to announce the 2025 economic growth data on Thursday, February 5.

Previously, Bank Indonesia (BI) was optimistic that the national economic growth in 2025 was estimated to be in the range of 4.7 percent to 5.5 percent.

Governor of BI Perry Warjiyo said Indonesia's economic growth remained good and needed to be improved further to match the capacity of the economy.

"Economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 is expected to be higher supported by an increase in domestic demand in line with improving economic actors' confidence and increasing fiscal stimulus," Perry said in a press conference, Wednesday, January 21.

He added that based on the Business Field (LU), the main LU such as the Industrial Processing LU, the Large and Retail Trade LU, and the Information and Communication LU showed positive performance.

Spatially, Perry said that high economic growth was recorded in the Bali-Nusa Tenggara region (Balinusra), followed by Java and Kalimantan, driven by an increase in domestic demand.

Perry said that in 2026, economic growth is expected to increase in the range of 4.9 percent to 5.7 percent.

He added that economic growth was supported by an increase in domestic demand in line with various Government policies and the continued positive impact of the Bank Indonesia policy mix to encourage economic growth.

"The effectiveness of various Government stimulus programs in 2026 needs to be strengthened to encourage household consumption and labor absorption," he explained.

Perry added that investment is also expected to be higher supported by the continuation of the Government's priority programs, including the downstreaming of Natural Resources (SDA), so that it is expected to further increase productivity and economic capacity.

Looking ahead, Perry said Bank Indonesia continues to strengthen the policy mix through strengthening the monetary policy mix, macroprudential, and payment systems that are closely in sync with the fiscal stimulus policy and the Government's real sector to encourage higher and resilient growth.
