JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto said reports from regional heads began to show positive results of government policies, namely household consumption increased, poverty decreased, open unemployment decreased, and the gini ratio was in a declining trend.
The gini ratio is a number to read inequality. The smaller the number, the narrower the gap between the rich and the poor.
Prabowo emphasized that the size was not a hope, but a real state. He also quoted reports from business actors.
According to Prabowo, the Apindo delegation conveyed to him that in January household consumption increased and Free Nutritional Meals (MBG) also encouraged it.
"They said that MBG... has encouraged an increase in household consumption... and encouraged growth in villages," said President Prabowo in his speech at the Indonesia Economic Outlook 2026 at Danantara, Jakarta, Friday, February 13.
The President said that MBG now reaches 60,200,000 beneficiaries per day - children, pregnant women, and the elderly who live alone.
The total production and distribution is said to be 4.5 billion portions. Prabowo admitted that there were 28,000 recipients who had problems for various reasons, but assessed that the proportion was very small.
