Indonesia's Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa projects national economic growth of up to 5.7% in Q2 2026. He said the government has room to boost activity as the quarter is only in April. Purbaya made the comments in Jakarta on April 24, 2026.
Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa assured that the government will push economic growth to 5.7% in Q2 2026. "We will push towards there (5.7 percent). It's not even end of April yet. There's still May and June. Once April data is clear, we'll see and give another push to the economy," he said in South Jakarta on Friday, April 24, 2026.
Purbaya stated that rising commodity prices, including crude palm oil (CPO), will not necessarily slow the economy. The impact depends on the scale of increases and their effect on public activity. He pledged to coordinate with relevant ministers to prevent major pressures.
If growth slows, Purbaya is prepared to provide stimulus from various angles. "If it slows, I will give stimulus from various sides. Could be fixing and strengthening the cash money again, or others," he said. He also opened the possibility of accelerating ministry/institution (K/L) spending realization.
Overall, policies will consider public conditions in line with President Prabowo Subianto's directive to remain pro-people. The government will optimize programs for real economic impact.
