The Indonesian government and Commission XI of the House of Representatives have reached an agreement on the macroeconomic assumptions outlined in the 2026 draft of the Macroeconomic Framework and Principal Fiscal Policy (KEM-PPKF). Commission XI, which oversees finance and economic planning, endorsed the figures proposed by the government. Indonesia's Finance Minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, praised the collaborative evaluation process, highlighting the importance of maintaining optimism while preparing for global uncertainties. She reaffirmed that the state budget will uphold its legal functions: promoting social equity, enhancing economic efficiency, and stabilizing the economy amid volatility. The approved assumptions for the 2026 state budget reflect a balance between ambition and prudence. Key targets include economic growth of 5.2–5.8%, inflation between 1.5–3.5%, and an exchange rate of IDR16,500–16,900 per US dollar. The government also projects 10-year bond yields at 6.6–7.2%, crude oil prices at $60–$80 per barrel, and oil and gas production at 600–605 thousand barrels and 953–1,017 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day, respectively. Social indicators include an open unemployment rate of 4.44–4.96%, a Gini ratio (inequality index) of 0.377–0.380, a poverty rate of 6.5–7.5%, and a target of zero extreme poverty, with a human capital index of 0.57.Source: https://en.antaranews.com/news/364793/ri-govt-house-approve-macroeconomic-policy-assumptions-for-2026  (ICE GIACARTA)
