Indonesia Predicts 5% GDP Growth in 2025, Defying Global Trade Tensions
Despite escalating global trade tensions, Indonesia's finance minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, forecasts the country's economic growth to remain steady at around 5% in 2025. This projection is comparable to the 5.03% growth achieved in 2024. In an online press conference, Indrawati expressed optimism about the nation's economic resilience, citing the rupiah's stability against the US dollar as a key factor. With a strong economic foundation, Indonesia is poised to navigate the challenges of global trade uncertainty, driven by strategic investments and a growing domestic market. As the country continues to attract foreign investment and foster innovation, its economy is expected to remain competitive, with a focus on sustainable growth and development. Key drivers of growth include infrastructure development, digital transformation, and human capital development, all of which are critical to maintaining Indonesia's position as a leading economy in Southeast Asia.
