Indonesian cabinet reshuffle and economic stimulus

Overview

Discussions regarding a potential reshuffle of President Prabowo Subianto’s Merah Putih Cabinet initially focused on candidates like Sandiaga Uno, who was proposed by the Rumah Sandi Uno Indonesia (RSI) to bolster the economy and investment sectors. These proposals emerged amid varying survey data on public satisfaction and calls for improvements in the economic and legal sectors.

By late September 2026, President Prabowo Subianto executed a significant cabinet reshuffle to strengthen bureaucratic performance and accelerate national priority programs. This reorganization marks the seventh reshuffle since he took office in October 2024. Key appointments include Dudung Abdurachman as Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs, Bahlil Lahadalia as Coordinating Minister for Downstreaming and Energy Transition (while retaining his role as Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources), and Sugiono as Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture. Arrmanatha Christiawan Nasir was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Listyo Sigit Prabowo took over as Head of the Presidential Staff Office, replacing Dudung Abdurachman. Additionally, the President proposed Komjen Suyudi Ario Seto as the new National Police Chief.

Alongside these political changes, the administration announced economic stimulus programs for the fourth quarter of 2026. To maintain public purchasing power, the government is preparing three major social assistance programs: the distribution of 10 kilograms of rice to over 33 million beneficiary families in deciles 1 through 4 for three months, the opening of bank accounts for citizens over the age of 17 within those same deciles, and the provision of wage subsidies. The food assistance program alone is estimated to require a budget of approximately Rp17.5 trillion.
