Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance published remarks by Deputy Finance Minister Suahasil Nazara stressing that lifting economic growth to 6–8% depends mainly on private-sector investment and household consumption rather than the state budget, and calling on corporate finance leaders to work with the government to drive investment and job creation. He put Indonesia’s gross domestic product at around IDR 24,000 trillion and the state budget (APBN) at IDR 3,800 trillion, or roughly 14% of GDP, with the remaining 85% attributed to private-sector activity including consumption, investment and trade. To help keep the private sector expansionary, the government has placed IDR 205 trillion in the banking system to support liquidity and reduce banks’ cost of funds, framing the measure as part of the APBN’s stabilisation role in keeping inflation supportive for business planning.
