JAKARTA Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadive said Indonesia was included in the group of countries that showed economic resilience to global pressure.

"Indonesia in terms of the domestic economy also shows that there is resilience to the pressure of global uncertainty in the resilient group of countries," he said during a working meeting with Commission XI of the DPR RI, Wednesday, September 10.

However, he emphasized, the importance of vigilance so that the continued impact of external dynamics does not cause greater pressure in the future.

"Economic resilience until the second quarter of this year is expected to continue with higher growth next year," he said.

He conveyed that based on the latest release of the IMF as of July 2025, this year's projected global economic growth is estimated to reach 3 percent (up 0.2 points from before), and 3.1 percent in 2026.

According to him, this optimism is also supported by expectations of lowering the benchmark interest rate (federal funds rate) which is expected to encourage capital flow into developing countries, including Indonesia.

Purbaya said that the trend of global monetary easing in the midst of relatively stable inflation has the potential to have a positive effect on domestic economic activity so as to strengthen Indonesia's future economic growth prospects.

"In line with global developments that have begun to signal recovery, the Indonesian economy remains resilient, effective in the economy in the second quarter of 2025 which grew by 5.12 percent year on year, mainly supported by strong household consumption, increased investment and maintained export-import performance," he explained.

Dia menyampaikan, sektor manufaktur yang merupakan kontributor utama PDB juga tumbuh solid, didorong oleh program hilirisasi yang mampu meningkatkan nilai tambah komoditas ekspor, sekaligus memperkuat permintaan domestik.

He said that the manufacturing sector, which is the main contributor to GDP, also grew solidly, driven by downstream programs that were able to increase the added value of export commodities, as well as strengthen domestic demand.
