Bank Indonesia (BI) projects Indonesia’s economic growth in the first quarter of 2026 to reach around 5.2%, reflecting solid domestic economic resilience. The outlook is primarily supported by strong household consumption and government spending, particularly during the Ramadan and Eid periods, which traditionally boost economic activity across sectors such as transportation, retail, and food services.

Despite ongoing global uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions, domestic demand remains the key growth driver. BI emphasized that Indonesia’s economy continues to demonstrate stability, with sustained purchasing power and supportive fiscal measures helping to maintain momentum. This positive trajectory highlights the country’s ability to navigate external challenges while sustaining steady and balanced economic expansion.
