The Indonesian economy is showing strong positive signals with the resurgence of the manufacturing sector and the trade balance successfully hitting a surplus again. Domestic production activities have seen a significant increase, reflecting high market demand from both domestic and international sources. This success is supported by the price stability of flagship commodities and continuously improving supply chain efficiency across various strategic regions. This achievement serves as a vital foundation for the stability of the Rupiah exchange rate and the strengthening of national foreign exchange reserves to face global economic challenges in 2026.
For association members and industry players, this manufacturing strengthening momentum represents a great opportunity for business expansion and increased technological investment. The government is committed to providing pro-business policies to ensure the sustainability of the national trade surplus through various export incentives. The current primary focus is to ensure the availability of industrial raw materials so that national productivity can continue to rise consistently. Through strong synergy between the government and business actors, Indonesia is optimistic about maintaining a positive and inclusive economic growth trend for all levels of society.
