Session F1
(Invite Only) Indonesia’s Economic and Political Outlook 2025
Indonesia's economic and political outlook under President Prabowo's new administration is marked by ambitious goals including a target of 8% annual economic growth within his five-year term. Following this, several key changes that were made in the administration’s structures were among others expanding the number of ministries and bringing the Ministry of Finance directly under his oversight. Additionally, the creation of Danantara, a new body tasked to manage sovereign wealth funds and foreign investments, which reflects a more centralized and strategic approach to economic governance. Signature policies taken include the expansion of downstream industries, the continuation of the Food Estate program, and the introduction of free meal initiatives.
While these targets and efforts are promising, they raise important questions about the administration’s approach to balancing fiscal discipline with the need for significant investments in economic and welfare programs. How will the government navigate these challenges to support sustained growth?
The session "Indonesia’s Economic and Political Outlook 2025" provides a deep dive into President Prabowo’s economic policies, market dynamics, domestic economic stability, and the political factors shaping Indonesia’s future.
Pemerintahan baru Presiden Prabowo telah memasang target ambisius termasuk pertumbuhan ekonomi tahunan sebesar 8% dalam masa jabatan lima tahunnya. Beberapa perubahan yang telah dilakukan dalam struktur pemerintahan antara lain penambahan jumlah kementerian dan menempatkan Kementerian Keuangan langsung di bawah pengawasannya. Selain itu, telah dibentuk sebuah badan baru Danantara yang bertugas mengelola dana kekayaan negara dan investasi asing, yang mencerminkan pendekatan tata kelola ekonomi yang lebih terpusat dan strategis. Kebijakan strategis yang diambil antara lain perluasan industri hilir, kelanjutan program Food Estate, dan penerapan inisiatif makan gratis.
Target ambisius dan kebijakan yang diambil menimbulkan pertanyaan penting mengenai pendekatan pemerintah dalam menyeimbangkan disiplin fiskal dengan kebutuhan investasi yang signifikan dalam program ekonomi dan kesejahteraan. Bagaimana pemerintah mengatasi tantangan ini untuk mendukung pertumbuhan berkelanjutan?
Sesi “Indonesia’s Economic and Political Outlook 2025” akan membahas secara mendalam mengenai kebijakan ekonomi Presiden Prabowo, dinamika pasar, stabilitas ekonomi dalam negeri, dan faktor politik yang membentuk masa depan Indonesia.
