ECONOMIC INDICATORS |
|
|
Economy |
Indonesia has grown economically stronger. During the global financial crisis of 2008, Indonesia outperformed its regional neighbours and joined China and India as the only G20 members posting growth. Indonesia is south-east Asia’s largest economy which accounts for one-third of the ASEAN economy. The government of Indonesia is focussed on reinvigorating the economy by announcing economic stimulus packages and tax incentives aimed at fiscal and non-fiscal measures. Indonesia will remain on a positive growth trajectory given the growing domestic demand, liberalization measures, improved investment climate, and the drive to bolster exports and investments. In the July 2024 edition of its World Economic Outlook, the IMF has forecasted that Indonesia’s economy will grow by 5% in 2024 and by 5.1% in 2025, Headline and core inflation would remain comfortably in the target range. |
