Indonesia's economy showed resilience in the first half of 2026, with a GDP growth of 5.29% in the second quarter and a cumulative growth of approximately 5.45% for the first semester. While growth slowed compared to the first quarter, investment remained a key stabilizer.
The tourism sector emerged as a major driver, with foreign arrivals increasing by 5.71% to 7.45 million in the first half of the year. Average spending per foreign visitor also rose to US$1,313. Additionally, domestic tourism hit a historic milestone in 2025 with 1.2 billion trips.
Industrial sectors also reported strong performance. The national footwear industry saw an 11.3% year-on-year growth in Q2 2026, employing nearly 966,147 people. Meanwhile, the palm oil industry continues to support the economy through downstreaming and significant foreign exchange contributions, with GAPKI noting its resilience through previous global crises.
