The Indonesian government has introduced new economic stimulus measures to support various sectors. These include financing facilities for housing, agriculture, and small and medium enterprises, as well as zero-percent import duties on aircraft parts and liquefied petroleum gas to lower operating costs.

Despite these domestic initiatives, economic analysts have suggested that Indonesia requires a shift toward more outward-looking policies to achieve higher growth targets. Experts argue that moving away from a focus on domestic markets and import substitution toward export-oriented policies and increased foreign direct investment is necessary to reach growth rates of 7 to 8 percent.
