Indonesia's Economic Performance Under Prabowo-Gibran Administration

Positive Growth Trajectory

The first year of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka's administration has seen Indonesia's economy maintaining a positive growth trajectory. According to Febrio Kacaribu, Director General of Economic and Fiscal Strategy at the Ministry of Finance, the country's GDP growth averaged 5% in the first half of 2025. The economy grew 4.8% in Q1 2025, followed by 5.12% growth in Q2 2025, demonstrating a strengthening economic performance.

Government's Economic Review

Febrio Kacaribu provided a generally positive assessment of the current administration's economic performance during the Economic Outlook event at Ritz-Carlton Mega Kuningan, Jakarta. He stated that the economic performance has not been 'too bad' and has even outperformed many peer countries in several aspects. This positive narrative is significant as it counters prevailing negative narratives about the government's economic management.

Economic Indicators and Future Outlook

The Ministry of Finance's positive assessment is based on key economic indicators that show resilience in the face of global economic challenges. While specific policy measures were not detailed, the government's confidence in maintaining the current growth trajectory suggests continued focus on economic stabilization and growth initiatives. The administration's economic policies appear to be yielding positive results, at least in the short term.
