Indonesia economic outlook: growth, industrialization, and M
Overview
Indonesia continues to pursue high economic growth through industrialization and an expanding digital agenda, with the government targeting a 6% growth rate and 7% investment increase by 2027. To support these goals, the Ministry of Industry is targeting food and beverage exports to reach $83.08 billion by 2029. Investment trends show significant momentum in mineral-based industrialization, with foreign direct investment in basic metal and non-machinery industries rising from under US$2 billion in 2010 to US$14 billion since 2019. President Prabowo Subianto reported that investment realization in the first half of 2026 reached Rp1,010.6 trillion, approximately 49.5% of the annual target. To reach an 8% growth target, the government is prioritizing industrial downstreaming (hilirisasi), which contributed 35% to national investment in Q3 2026. By late 2026, the government intensified its downstreaming strategy, targeting Rp3,800 trillion in investment over four years across 28 commodities. Nickel exports and related goods rose 69.3% in the first half of 2026, reaching US$6.54 billion. Leadership changes at the Ministry of Industry, with Muhammad Sarmuji succeeding Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, aim to further utilize the sector for labor absorption. Additionally, the BPI Danantara agency has begun restructuring state-owned construction and insurance firms to increase efficiency. Despite macroeconomic resilience, significant capital market volatility persists. MSCI has warned of a potential downgrade from Emerging Market to Standalone Market status, citing “opaque shareholding structures, suspected coordinated trading, and a lack of evidence regarding regulatory enforcement.” This threat follows a period where the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) weakened by 38% throughout 2026, accompanied by US$5.3 billion in foreign net selling. In October 2026, the proposed MSCI reclassification triggered severe market instability, including an 11.57 percent plunge in the IHSG on October 16.
