JAKARTA - Bank Indonesia (BI) considers Indonesia's economic growth to remain strong amid the slowdown in the global economy.

Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2023 grew by 5.04 percent (yoy), an increase compared to growth in the previous quarter of 4.94 percent (yoy). With this development, Indonesia's overall economic growth in 2023 was recorded to grow strongly by 5.05 percent (yoy).

Assistant Governor of the Communications Department Erwin Haryono said that in 2024, economic growth is predicted to increase in the range of 4.7 percent-5.5 percent.

Household consumption grew by 4.47 percent (yoy) in line with the increase in mobility, especially on Christmas and New Year's National Religious Holidays (HBKN), stable people's purchasing power, and increased consumer confidence.

Consumption of Non-profit Institutions that Serve Households (LNPRT) grew high by 18.11 percent (yoy) driven by increased election preparation activity. Government consumption increased by growing by 2.81 percent (yoy) driven by personnel spending and spending.

Meanwhile, investment grew by 5.02 percent (yoy) mainly supported by building investments as infrastructure development continued and increased investment activities.

In terms of Business Fields (LU), all LU in the fourth quarter of 2023 showed positive performance with high growth recorded in sectors related to mobility, especially Transportation and Warehousing, Provision of Accommodation and Drinking, as well as Large and Ecoherent Trade.
