BI Warns of Persistent Global Economic Uncertainty

Mixed Global Economic Outlook

Bank Indonesia has sounded an alarm about the ongoing global economic uncertainty despite some positive developments in certain economies. BI Governor Perry Warjiyo highlighted that while there are signs of improvement in some regions, the overall global economic landscape remains challenging. The projected 3.2% global growth for 2025 is largely attributed to the growth in countries such as Japan and India, driven by household consumption and fiscal stimulus measures.

Regional Economic Performance

The European region is expected to maintain a positive outlook, supported by strong household consumption, investment, and favorable labor market conditions. However, Warjiyo stressed that despite these positive indicators, the global economy still faces significant uncertainties that could impact Indonesia's domestic economy.

Policy Response and Vigilance

In response to these challenges, Warjiyo emphasized the importance of maintaining heightened vigilance and implementing robust policy measures. The goal is to strengthen Indonesia's economic resilience against potential global spillover effects while simultaneously promoting higher domestic growth. This approach underscores BI's proactive stance in navigating the complex global economic environment.
