JAKARTA - A consumer survey released by Bank Indonesia (BI) shows that the public's confidence in the national economic condition in March 2026 is still in the optimistic zone.
This is reflected in the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) which was recorded at 122.9, although it decreased slightly compared to the previous month which reached 125.2.
The Executive Director of the Communication Department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, conveyed the confidence of consumers who remained optimistic in March 2026 was sourced from the continued strength of consumer confidence in the current economic conditions and consumer confidence in the future economic conditions.
The central bank assessed that despite a slight decline, the position of the index, which is still above the 100 level, indicates the public's optimism about the economic condition remains strong.
"The Bank Indonesia Consumer Survey in March 2026 indicates that consumer confidence in economic conditions remains strong," he said in a statement, Friday, April 10.
This optimism is supported by two main components, namely the Current Economic Conditions Index (IKE) which recorded 115.4 and the Consumer Expectation Index (IEK) which reached 130.4.
Based on spending groups, consumer confidence in March 2026 remained optimistic across all spending groups, with the highest IKK recorded in respondents in the Rp4.1 million to Rp5 million group with an IKK of 125.7.
Based on age, IKK is also optimistic at all age groups, with the highest IKK recorded in respondents aged 20-30 years with a value of 129.6.
Meanwhile, the age group over 60 years old experienced an increase in optimism compared to the previous period, while the other age groups experienced a decrease.
Spatially, the decline in IKK occurred in most of the surveyed cities, especially in Pontianak, Surabaya, and Padang. Meanwhile, IKK experienced the largest increase in Bandung, Bandar Lampung, and Samarinda.
