Indonesia’s preliminary 2026 state budget sets an ambitious economic growth target of 5.2–5.8%, underpinned by macroeconomic assumptions including 1.5–3.5% inflation and an exchange rate of Rp 16,500–16,900 per USD. The budget emphasizes food and energy sovereignty to reinforce national resilience. Key energy benchmarks include a crude oil price forecast of $60–80 per barrel and daily production of 605,000–620,000 barrels. On social indicators, goals include reducing the poverty rate to 6.5–7.5%, extreme poverty to 0–0.5%, and unemployment to 4.44–4.96%. Fiscal policy aims to balance revenue (11.71–12.31% of GDP) and expenditure (14.19–14.83% of GDP), resulting in a projected deficit of 2.48–2.53%. The endorsed framework reflects Indonesia’s long-term priorities for economic stability, social welfare, and strategic resource self-sufficiency. Final budget proposals will be presented by President Prabowo on August 15, after initial deliberations that began in early July.Source: https://jakartaglobe.id/business/indonesia-targets-58-gdp-growth-in-2026-deficit-capped-at-253 (ICE GIACARTA)
