JAKARTA - In the midst of capital flows out of the financial market and global pressures that have not subsided, the government claims that public confidence in the domestic financial system is still strong. One indicator is seen in the growth of community funds in banks.
Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto said third-party funds or banking DPK grew 13.55 percent. According to Airlangga, this figure shows that the public's confidence in the financial sector is still maintained.
"Third-party funds mean that the public's trust is high," said Airlangga at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 5.
In addition to DPK, credit growth is also said to be still moving positively at the level of 9.49 percent. The government sees domestic liquidity is still strong enough to support economic activity.
Airlangga said that this condition was one of the reasons why the government remained optimistic about the direction of national economic growth.
Previously, the Central Statistics Agency announced that Indonesia's economic growth in the first quarter of 2026 reached 5.61 percent. The government said the figure was above the expectations of a number of institutions that had previously estimated growth of around 5.2 percent.
On the other hand, the government acknowledges that capital outflow is still a concern. Outflow is said to occur from the capital market and government securities or SBN.
Even so, Airlangga assessed that a number of domestic economic indicators still showed a relatively stable condition. Inflation fell to 2.42 percent. The trade balance is also in surplus for 71 consecutive months.
Investment realization also increased by 7 percent to Rp408.8 trillion.
The government and Bank Indonesia, said Airlangga, are also continuing to coordinate to maintain liquidity and financial market stability amid global pressures.
